I'm sure we will survive this threat but long term the club has to involve the fans either by a trust or simply through some kind of membership scheme to generate further money so the club can survive.

I like the idea of a trust I'm a member of the Ebbsfleet Utd My Club ownership scheme and although there not my first supported team I still pay £9 a quarter to them which keeps me involved with the club and it's decsions. I mentioned this to the Don but he favoured a club membership scheme with some incentives ie tickets clothing unique number etc which sounded better than nothing.

I think the club will struggle long term without Ilyas and his money or a major sponsor, but anything that involves the fans getting involved and paying money into the club has got to be better than nothing.

Doug I really think you should contact Rob he's a really good guy and ask to speak to them, I didn't really want to lol but they called my bluff and after speaking to them I think you begin to realise they actually care just as much as people on the forum.
