Dumbarton Rock Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 The place is in shut down but two guys are still working. All season not one word from the club about us getting games on. Just thought I'd let you know that we are the same as the players and coaches with the 50% wages. Plus we are actually working our 50% to make sure the park is ready when we kick a ball again. I don't really care anymore if anyone has a problem with this Players and management at League One rivals Dumbarton are taking a 50% deferral on wages until further notice.

Sanity check needed. Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 The place is in shut down but two guys are still working. All season not one word from the club about us getting games on.

Jordo1872 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I see the club have now launched a fundraising appeal:https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/dumbarton-fc-sosIndividual choice of course but hopefully fans feel able to contribute. We need to pull together and do what we can as a support to help the club through. Hopefully the recent government announcement also helps. As for the football, I’ve resorted to buying Football Manager for the first time in 10 years to get my fix!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A really impressive amount raised so far, if we can get to 10k that will be a massive boost. I hope you never paid for it, they are giving it away for free just now! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comments according to BBC Scotland There's a reason that this didn't go up on the Lennox website (yet). It's nothing serious, and I'm not wanting to be a cryptic ITK weirdo. But we won't know for sure if that's gone ahead until today. The Beeb jumped the gun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sons FC Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) Fantastic response to the justgiving fundraising. First day and over £5,000 already. Makes you proud of all the fans who have contributed, especially non-Sons fans. As I don't get to many games, my contribution will be via justgiving.

O'Kelly Isley III Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 A good start but need to get the message across to as many people as possible, always on the proviso that everyone's ability to contribute will be dictated by their personal circumstances. In other words, if you can spare some cash then please do.And maybe I've missed it, but I see no mention of how the majority shareholder intends to assist with this unprecedented situation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sons Fan Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Does anyone know when the monthly season ticket payment was meant to end? and can you just leave it running? also do we have the option for next season ticket to be paid monthly? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think ANY team can issue seasons for next season yet, they have no idea when next season will start, how many games next season will be, etc etc. EDIT though they could maybe do a promotion where "a deposit of £x can be paid now, which will secure your season ticket for next season". That deposit will be deducted from the actual cost at the time. Deposit could be substantial, like £75, £100, something like that.

Jordo1872 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I pay monthly and I’m sure it was to run up til May, that being the logical assumption anyway. I don’t see why this couldn’t be extended but they’d need to contact each contributor first for their consent. I’d certainly have no objection.Equally an early deposit on next seasons ST would be an option. Of course all this depends greatly on the players willingness/ability to accept a pay cut, and the benefit that can be reaped from the recent government announcement.I see the fundraiser is now over £7k which is a great response. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
