    After all the stress yesterday regards kt leaving -staying fees quoted wages mentioned ,i had this thought ,a bit like sponsor a panda or something .
    when we have a special player who has the same love for the club as all of us and was being pursued by many clubs with the promise of scary wages , and all the moral issues of keeping them when they can earn 5 /10 times as much ,would you be prepared to sponsor a player to top up the wage in order to benefit the player for loyalty through a rise in season ticket price from club .
    If it means we keep them for a few more years and allow a team to grow together ,if we where asked by the club to accept this would you think yeh probably ,maybe depends ,or cheeky c#nts .

    Other fans from other clubs sponser players. At the end of the season they get a shirt signed by the player and framed as well.There is more than one sponser per player , ten again not sure how it works as in games played by player

    No chance this would work if it was restricted to season ticket holders paying the extra. Giving a single player an extra £1k a week would mean every season ticket holder paying an extra grand a year. My ticket is already over £600 a year as it is without topping up a millionaires wages. Players moving on is part and parcel of football and fans shouldn’t be made to pay for this.

    To give a realistic answer to the Op, it would take 104 people to sponsor a player £500 each just to increase that * wages by 1k per week, i doubt people would donate that much to keep a player, and even still would a player really stay over an extra grand per week? Would they *.

    What if you do it and the player still * off? Just one of the many reasons it would never get off the ground..

    Sounds like a scheme the Huns would come up with..

    Put it in a round room and tell it there's £10 in the corner.

    Sure it could be sewn into the increase wage contract that they honour the new term ,and if they bail then it gets payed back by the buying club and goes toward our home grown talent possibly .
