It's been done - everyone get blasting.

Has anyone got a Kidderminster Forum ID? That would be a good place to post the link methinks.

I will donate today, not alot but every little helps

As I couldnt make last night what is the possible outcome if enough isnt raised in 14 days?

Is it viable to stay at Nene Park, long term?

Are we keeping the Youth System?

Who decides were the money raised is going to?

Sorry just some outer thoughts.

The 14 days was off the top of KC's head, as I read the situation, but was done I believe to galvanise the fans into positive immediate action. As I see it we must, in the short term, settle or reach agreement on payment terms with Cloverdale and HMRC, as matter of priority, to get them to drop the winding up petition due to heard next month. Then we should look at paying any outstanding utility bills (gas, water, electricity and telephone). This is where the money currently being raised will go. That's why it's is being administered by the Trust and not the Beasants.

Regarding the ground issue, it's obviously too large and grand for gates less than 1500 but where else could we play that meets BSP's grading requirements?
Finding an alternative venue, to continue playing at our current level, is nigh on impossible as K*ttering have found out.

Andy Burgess has contacted me re our plight. He is going to keep retweeting.

Was genuinely concerned and is willing to try and get ex players together to organise a match. Whilst that won't help for our 14 day fund it will help us to raise some cash and also will get the word out there.

Just had texts from Shane Huke who even though he has not been paid is worried about the future of the Club. Is going to spread the word.

My brother has asked me to put this on.

As a way of raising the profile of the the save RDFC fund is to get on national radio also. The two shows in particular is primarily the 5live Colin Murray show on a friday eve between 7pm and 10pm, and also the Keys and Gray show on talksport between 10am and 1pm weekdays. Both of these shows i would think would back this. In particular the 5 Live show.

In the Past I have known a Crystal Palace fan to go on the Friday Colin Murray show and explain what the dire situation is at the club, bit of how they've got to this point, bit of who's owed, etc and plugging the donation site.

Donations seemed to go in after this plug.

I remember clearly one of those owed in there situation was the St John's Ambulance service.

Although the show is on at the same time as forum on friday surely it would be worthwhile for a fan with a good knowledge of what the state of play is to spend 15 mins away from the forum to make such a call even if you only get another 50quid from this.



Also id add to this has anyone thought about seeing if they can arrange bucket collections outside the Fa cup final and play off final?

I'm going to let this drift down the board given that there are several other threads effectively doing the same thing, and the top of this board is cluttered.
