What a difference a day makes There was I befuddled and confused as to why lots of tiny and poorly supported clubs could raise thousands more than we could. There I was looking enviously at Bognor to the west and Hastings to the east pressing ahead with ground development plans. It called to mind the Stealers Wheel song from Reservoir Dogs... " Plans to the left of me, developments to the right, here I am, stuck in the middle with barely a pot to p1ss in" But no, there WAS a plan all along, and what's more with a large degree of club 'oomph' behind things it turns out we're not a bunch of miserly skinflints afterall. HURRAH!! If I were being picky I would say it's a shame we are a month or so behind the curve. As great as the sudden effort has been, the same lightning fast start and backing a month ago would have us much nearer the target than the starting point now. That said the grant funding was being worked on and the big rush now assumes a normal starting point to season 2020/21. That is far from certain to happen and more time is likely to be available for all this. Also I guess it is fortunate the push for funds has started around the beginning of the very tentative lockdown easing. Fans are likely to be looking forward more positively now than when this virus first fell into our lap. Needless to say the thread needed a makeover as Harry's fund has been superseded. To that end the title and the donation link has rightly been emended to the club run fund.
Before the initial fund is completely airbrushed into history though, well done Harry for instigating it. You did something when there was the conspicuous absence of anything being done. So...
1) Harry, take a bow son.
2) I trust that fund will close and the £770 will go to 'Future's Bright'.
I think all who contributed towards that would fully understand and expect that now.
So there you go, donate away and let's get this done.

I have confirmed with Harry that the old fund has closed and almost as I write this the balance is being transferred to Future's Bright.

Yup, lots of hard work behind the scenes from the board, Ang from the wfcsa and myself & Pete from the Rebel Yell Team. Glad it's got off to such a great start. When everyone works together big things can be acheived And Gobbo.... If it helps the fund go ahead and buy a tshirt you'll still see our name top

Erm, you should grow a thicker skin Gobbo, please don't confuse passionate local rivalry with hatred. I have yet to see/hear anything betwixt Rebels and Rocks that I would consider to be genuine heartfelt hatered. Taking the p1ss out of each other doth not equate to hating each other. Hated would be as abhorrent and unpalatable to us as the opposite... lacing daisies into each others hair in some sort of over respectful mutual love-in. Yuk. So have a campachoochoo on me Rocks, you are, as always, six toed inbreds

Oh, I couldn't possibly comment Sam But let's just say Mrs Smiffy (a non believer) has started a spreadsheet to tick off every season until I have worked the proposal into a profit. I do not have permission to die for at least 8.333r seasons (or earlier if/when prices rise)
