Our first sponsor was a pub, and that's exactly what we did and what the terms of our sponsorship agreement were. Trouble was that last season, we had a lot of people who had to rush to work after football, so we just didn't have the numbers. Plus it was right in the center of Brighton, and a...

Ill promise to vote for Qatar if they give us £500 ;)

We charge £5 a game, but that is spent on pitch fees. Once those are paid, there is generally no money left. The money we are trying to raise is separate from the general admin fees etc, and is money we can put into the club to invest in kit/equipment etc...

Hi all, Just to start by saying that I did seek permission before posting this, and was given the green light. So I shouldn't be breaking any rules.. I run a Sunday League team - Sussex Coast FC - and I have launched a crowd funding campaign to raise some much needed funds for the new season...
