Ah ok thanks for explaining.
Which brings me to my point at leaving it as before with indiviudal sponsorships for all the players with an option to donate to the team in general. It lave people more personally responsible for their own sponsorships efforts. So far the support is slow, it is still grreat the people who have donated by we just over £ 300 compared to £ 4000 last year there is a long way to go and I think the target should be set at £ 4000 or above as I always believe the target should be equal or more to the previous years total to set a new goal.

Isn't playing dependant on sponsorship raised, or effort put in to organising? I assumed that it was.
No Lokki.
Last year could have just been a 'blip' could it not?
I have a vague memory that most years c£500 has been raised from player sponsorship across all players. The ginger dream machine raised around that himself last year I think.

Really? So what is it dependant on? Serious question. I thought the whole point was to raise money for a great cause.
There could be some exciting news re REMF 10 shortly whereby there would be a queue around the block wanting to play in it.

Yes I think last year one of the REMF players got more in sponsorship than all the others put together.
It is broadly the same group of players who have played for the REMF since 2001 and not some late " glory " seekers.

OK but that's next year though right? What about this year?
Thats correct Daz but why not go for £ 4k again. Its been done before, no reason why it can't be again. Brett was the driving force last year.
At the moment we have a page donating for the team as a whole rather than individual players. I don't think this is the best way, no disrespect to anyone so imo we need the squad announced and the players to do individual pages and soon as we only have 4 weeks.

Sorry to poke my oar in, just trying to understand. In previous years I have donated without actually looking into it at all. What you say above makes perfect sense to me in terms of maximising income which is the whole point right?
In honour of you US, I'm going to go LARGE on Hufflepuff. I might even chip in a couple of bob extra if he STROKES home the winning goal/penalty again.
The Huffletron set a great example last year, raising about a zillion pounds singlehandedly (and still had time to score the winning penalty). As such I shall be nailing my money firmly on his proverbial mast this year.
He sets the example for others to follow.
I believe I sponsored HUFFLEPUFF well before you did. Not that it matters if he scores the goals to fire the Albion REMF team to GLORY.
I belive to have individual pages will raise more than a group sponsorship. It will give responsibility to the individual players to make an effort to get sponsorships and just rely on people donating to the group. It will also engender competition between the players. IT was commented on that feedback from some people was that they would did not want to sponsor one person over another but I feel the majority of people, friends, family, work colleague etc would prefer to sponsor the person they actually know with an option for sponsporing the group for those who prefered that. Anyway if we are going to do individual pages we need to get it sorted soon as Palace announced their provisional squad a week ago. This is just my opinion and not a directive as I am not raising the sponsorship.

Noty quite fair. I have handed them out every year I have played and know quite a few others do similar.
For what it's worth, I completely agree with you Gareth.
I for one, have sponsored HKFC as he is a mate of mine - and he is sponsoring me on my Brighton marathon run. I suspect I am not alone as it is this sort of direct mutual back scratching which helps the donations come in. If you think about it, this is less likely to happen without that one to one relationship.
Not that I care - if Hufflepuff scores the winning goal, I'll double what I've chipped in.
Your one of the 4-6 Richie
