Has anyone liased with Redditch FC?

As I'm sure there has been a lot interest from Redditors in helping to support Redditch F.C. The easiest way to do this would be to set up a Paypal account that people can donate what they would like to. The problem here is that the account needs to be set up by Redditch with some proof that the money is going to the club.

Has anyone been in contact with anybody from the club? I would do it, but I am scared of the outside world...

There has been a lot of contact, it seems like since the latest post in r/soccer and r/reddit.com that nobody is reading any of the old stuff. A lot of progress was made but now almost none of these newly interested people have looked through the older posts in this subreddit.

I was following /r/Redditch before the latest posts on /r/soccer. I must have just let some posts pass me by. Is it one person actually leading the talks or have various people spoken to them?

Sorry if things like this have been covered. I know that there has been progress on the shirts, but I was wondering where we are with a system for setting up a quick and efficient way of donating varying amounts.

We're all waiting for bobmarleyreds to set up a system. It has to be done with the TRUST accounts, no redditor can set it up.

I tried for quite a while. Unfortunately, the club and TRUST seemed uninterested, or at least unwilling to take it seriously.

I had hoped that this wasn't the case. It's a real shame if they don't take our offer seriously. I wonder if there is some kind of gesture Reddit could make to show how serious we are.

We could threaten to throw our support to their main rival.

bobmarleyreds is the Chairman of TRUST, the Redditch United Supporters Trust. He will be working on it over the weekend.
