The Daily ITK Discussion Thread -The SOS EDITION! 1st July 2014

[Mattspur]

I started a monthly donation a few months ago. It wasn't my intention to at the time. I just thought I'd make a one off donation so I could feel like I've done my part in helping maintain the site, but when I was on PayPal there was a box to tick if I wanted to make my donation monthly and I thought, yeah, why not. It's only £5 a month, but that's £60 over the year and I know the site needs it.

I don't want to sound like a sanctimonious prick but I'm sure there are loads of long time regular users who could afford to donate £5 a month but don't. I know I didn't do it for a long time. At the end of the day I had to look at it like this; If SC shut down then what would I spend most of my working day doing? Work, that's what. So I look at it as by paying £5 per month it means I don't have to do so much work. Now that's well worth it.

Put £30 quid in the coffers 3 months ago so will hold off until the next donation drive if that's ok. Didn't realise babies were so bloody expensive. May have kept my zipper fastened had I known

 

[Tit&Ham]

£15 coming your way.

And I also have a bet with someone (Can't remember who) that will guarantee £50 more. Depending on transfer income this year...

10 pounds winging its way to you now. Keep it safe, it spent 7 tears up my arse during my time in Vietcong POW camp.....

 

[Zeb]

tears up my arse

Sounds painful.... did you meet A&C in a dark alley for witholding your donation?

This is a good shout. I set up a monthly myself today. Hope it helps Rob.

I get a lot of laughs/pleasure from this site though I only lurk. A £20 donation is cheap at half the price!!

Perhaps you should donate comments as well as your money.

So this weekend a guy named Rob wins the lottery and this sites closes down...... do we get suspicious?

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

I know this has been mentioned many times before but I can't remember the answer. Why can't each member be charged £1 or £1.50 for an annual subscription fee? That'd cover the costs wouldn't it? I can't think of many people who use the site (lurkers aside) who would leave SC for the sake of a pound.

Is it just that you don't want to deter new people from joining?

I think this is an excellent idea. May i be as bold as to suggest five quid? I mean that's the same as a couple of beers a year?

How about a current membership vote on the general idea of a subscription and price guide?

 

[lemony snickets]

Yul Brynner donated. my boy needs shoes too, but i need ITK more.

It takes up enough of my time already without making comments too!!

Yeah, you're probably right, don't go down that path. It only leads to bad things...

Your on a roll biglad!

 

[marksinthesand]

Although I don't post often I enjoy being amongst fellow spurs fans on here and like so many am desperate for news of future signings. So I've donated too

 

[Cheltenham Spur]

Small donation made. Would be more but there wasn't a lot in the PayPal account and using the plastic would lead to all sorts of inquests when the good lady looked at the bank statement.

 

[Led's Zeppelin]

I'm happy to make donations. I've only made one so far (and a few pledges) because I've only recently started looking in regularly, but it's good value so I'll certainly become a regular donator.

But I'd donate much more if I was allowed to speak honestly about "ITK" as it comes along.

 

[Zeb]

£12 on your doormat lads (£ a month as suggested, will send some more in due course).
Keep up the sterling work (thats not ITK)

"Cheltenham Spur"? Are you kidding? Everyone in Cheltenham is a millionaire! From now you shall be known as "Poshspur".

 

[Gbspurs]

I'm still bankrupt after last summers transfer pledge thread. Thanks alot Baldini. I'll save my donation for when Davies is signed.
