I’m also fully aware many don’t have spare cash as times can be tough. Create a club, let’s call it the “300 club” we’re we attemp to get 300 supporters,who can afford it, to pay £10 a month DD, have 5x £200 draw each month and remaining £2000 goes to the club, raising an extra £24,000 a year. Winner all round.
When you put it like that- ..would be a good earner.

£65000 by May 31st is over £380 a day- not impossible but a big ask. We would need to start raising money ASAP to have any chance. Probably too late for a Christmas draw but a New Years draw a tenner in with 50 percent going as prizes would get the ball rolling

All fans of Barrow AFC have an interest in our 10% share holding of the club. If people have a good idea they want to start up and get off the ground to help then please feel free to contact the board.

We are a small group of people, who at this busy time of year, and with fixtures coming thick and fast, only have a certain bandwidth we can cover. We will welcome support, ideas and volunteers gladly!

Maybe invite a few past players to feature for each side and show the 1990 and 2010 FA trophy game on the large screen in the bar afterwards to make a proper night of it!
Or run an FA trophy night separately, view the games invite past players for a chat, bit of grub and beers and relive the experience all over again!

That's true but it also requires no work from the Trust so a free income source.
