The bond scheme you propose seems little different from a season ticket. It might be nice if you could buy a season ticket by contracting in to a regular monthly payment. With a season by season release clause from the payment the club would be secure enough in their planning. Season tickets would then be affordable by a larger section of the fan-base. The problem with that it then makes it perhaps unaffordable to everybody, as you are looking perhaps payments of £30 a month for a season ticket and the bond scheme. if we can sell the bond scheme as a business venture it could work, seperate to the season ticket sales? While very poorly publicised there is a premium bond style scheme in place already. What sort of return would you offer on your bond to make it an investment rather than a donation?

I think it would have to be linked to whatever money making schemes the club could work on, as in the other thread, perhaps developing the land for use on non match days.

Crikey! A board comprising Baldwin, Roach, Rolls and York. Probably the moment to turn the lights out and give up.
Why do some still insist Baldwin is good for CUFC? Am I missing something here? Histon was built on credit card debt it seems, and I thought we were trying to get away from the never never approach. We really need sensible, professional business people at the Abbey, not chancers.

Look there is no way Roach /Rolls/Baldwin will find the buyer's for there shares in doomed clubs so that'll right them off.Hopefully we will get someone new and fresh as that is what the club need not a throw back to the same old names who seem to manage to convince Mr Barry that they are the right people when the are clearly good liars or good sells men.What we need is a richer version of Reg.

Hooky, they could just give their shares back!
And yes, it would be great to have a Reg Smart back here again but would we lose all those guys that rushed in here when he was pushed out??
