Like a Patreon or some other service. £1 a month? Think many of us would sign up.

it’s an option inside the existing donation link

Morning all!
Here's a nice surprise for you all

HAVE YOU DONATED THIS MONTH/YET/AT ALL?

As you all know, SC relies on your donations to be able to provide a unrivalled coverage of ITK, if it wasn't for you guys, the server would crash left right and centre and we simply couldn't afford to be as awesome and sexy as I am, I mean we are.

In one transfer window we ran a poll asking when people thought we'd sign a certain player. The poll got an astonishing number of votes, over 600 of you took part.

Six bloody hundred. And that's just the yokes who bothered voting. Whichever way you slice it that's a lot. If everyone slung just three or four quid in the pot we'd be sorted for quite a while, so if you've never donated before, please consider doing so now.

Now, when it's donation drive time, which it is i'm afraid, where are you? *Goes all Delia* where aaaaare yoooooou? Let's be having youuuuuuu!

I reckon we've about 500 or more lurkmeisters, so come on guys, if you're one of them and you enjoy SC's coverage of the Transfer Window (and lets face it, you do because you're here right?), then please chip in. It doesn't have to be a massive amount.

And if you happen to be a Spurs mad gazzillionaire, cough the fuck up. And if you're Daniel Levy, fucking hell shortstuff, put your hands in your pockets. And get the BSoDL to chip in too.

But A&C, where does the money go?

Outgoings: The server costs £400 per month. Forum software purchases/licenses/misc comes to around £500 a year. So currently, the cost of SC is about £5k a year.

Incomings: Advertising/Affiliates can sometimes cover the costs during the transfer window (January, July, August) but thats sometimes. The rest of the year that falls well short. Its difficult to give an exact figure because the numbers don't stay the same but i'd say £100 a month during the quiet months. Donations during the quiet months come to about £50pm if we're lucky.

Rob will know better than I do, but I reckon we're short by about £2500 a year.

If one month we raise more than is needed, it stays in the pot as it won't be long before it IS needed. The shortfall is made up out of Robs pocket. I'll repeat that.......It comes out of his pocket. Think about that for a minute. I reckon he pays an average of £50 a WEEK.

This is why i'm often cajoling, nudging, outright begging and open to bribery during the transfer window. It's when the most of you are about and our last big donation drive raised enough to cover costs for a couple of months or so.

Any excess raised stays in the pot until its needed when donations/income goes right down. Absolutely nothing goes on anything other than SC's running costs.

So, if you'd like to donate, here's the link.

Long time lurker, occasional contributor. Just set up £2.50 per month. Couldn't have been easier

 

[EastMeonYid]

Done. Your bleeding heart message coupled with your description of your sordid fantasies, most of which involve inserting various objects into men’s anuses, lead me to conclude you are a dangerous and mentally unstable man. I have tried to pacify you with a donation. Keep up the good work lads?

 

[Navy Spur]

£10 donated, thank you ?

 

[robotsonic]

So much for it being a buyers market.

Donated ?

 

[c_jones1978]

£15 from a mostly lurker. Cheers fellas

Best Spurs forum by a mile.
I set my direct debit up a year or so back, and I cannot get across how simple enough it is to do, just follow the banner at the top of the page.
I’m sure it doesn’t matter how big or small a donation it is, all counts. Even just the cost of a pint as a recurring monthly donation, you won’t miss it, but if just 15-20 people do that there’s Rob’s shortfall covered.

 

[Schmills]

Donated. Thanks for opportunity to waste my days away. Much appreciated.
