that could be the challenge.. try and get the biggest 'non-attendance' through online ticket sales we could.
Cracking idea that. Trouble is I can't donate to anything. The system won't allow me. The dieters, the raffle and the Play Your Part. 😩 As I am in 😷 I don't know what to do about it.
I keep trying.

how about virtual match day tickets for the games we already know are off like the Stockport one? make it clear what they are for and put them up for a taken price of £1 or £2... i bet we'd get some decent virtual crowds and any real revenue would help the club

why - virtual tickets would be just that - no match, no gathering, just helping out the club with cash...

Best way is simply to donate your usual match day money to the Bluebirds Trust Play Your Part campaign
Barnet have just announced they are going to have to lay off all non-playing staff so it shows just how desperate the situation can be

Let's go for it!
Ryan needs to scan the tickets of the non-attendees, simple

You can't play a real match behind closed doors, the FA won't allow it, it has to be a visual match

It would be better if people made a donation to the Trust, rather than buy a ticket, so that all your money goes to the benefit of Barrow AFC. If you buy a match ticket for (say) £12.00, the club gets £10.00 with £2.00 going to HMRC as VAT.

Our need is greater than that of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

As explained by people cleverer than me the best way is via the play your part campaign but the original idea is a good one; say the Stockport game would have had a 3000+ crowd could we get say 500 people to stick their £15 in specifically that afternoon?
