Mysterion Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Would be interested to know if the 205 are fully new subscriptions or if some of them are updated pledges ? For example - i increased my FoH pledge yesterday which will result in one DD being cancelled and a new one created. Would be good to know how many people have increased their pledge to FoH.

Doesn’t matter if folk cancel and have decided they want to renew. Every pledge is given voluntary and if folk decided to cancel because they got pissed off that’s their right. However the fact (if so) they have decided to renew then all the better. This thread is for positivity so please please keep you negative posts away please.

Double check that mate. I ended up with 2 DD's for a while and I know of others who have had the same. Unless you have manually cancelled the first one?

22games nro Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I was one who restarted yesterday, I’d stopped not because of football related issues but other issues, yesterday was a day were I looked at it again and restarted and as things have changed a little for me I’d upped it by another £5 for my original DD, not a lot ,I know but every little helps 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A part of me thinks that if anyone were to get their name on there as a new sign-up, that's a very easy way to write your way into the club's history when the rest of us have been pledging from the start or for a few years at least. I'm not all that bothered if it means more pledges for the club, though. Maybe they could extend it every so often with the names of anyone who's been newly pledging for at least a year?

TurboT Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I increased my pledge yesterday. l received two e-mails, one to say my DD had been cancelled and one to say the new DD had been set up.

section s heart Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Good opportunity for FOH to up the marketing at this point with the feelgood factor of the deal being done, and the team going well on the park. If we're able to bring on new pledgers, reach out to lapsed ones to repledge, and involve young fans in some way, possible we could target 9k or 10k. With the proviso that fans circumstances can justify/ afford to be making the pledges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pay the minimum for both my kids at present on top of my own donation but tbh they don't know much about it. There will be hundreds of kids names in the 8000 i would imagine A junior membership of sorts with some kid friendly incentives would be really popular.

It’s not very clear. Youd put in your new pledge amount as that will be the updated DD that will be taken. I was on the site this morning and you can increase your pledge by £1 and it will auto do it for you. As above though, cancel your existing DD through your bank or they will take both. I assumed it would be auto done based on above point but FoH isnt too clever on that front. Edited September 1, 2021 by DMac-89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
