I Need Your Help

[PC28]

Ladies & Gentlemen

It is no secret that the Western Bulldogs are in financial trouble at the minute. Smorgon last night said that if something was not done, we would become the Fitzroy of 2002. Whether this was properganda for the sake of getting more members on board or not, a 1.7mil loss on the bottom line does not and can not be hiden away from the public.

The Western Bulldogs need supporters. They need members. They need us. Which is why i have a proposal.

I am going to start a Western Bulldogs Supporter Group. Im going to appeal to the normal supporter, member, person. It will be a meeting where we can watch a game, chew the fat, and generally do what we would do on this forum.

There will be a membership fee (small, undecided amount) that will be donated to the Western Bulldogs in aid of doing what we can. It is my aim to also get some smaller sponser groups on board that will donate to the club. Every little bit helps, and i think that this will be a great way to help.

What i need is volunteers from my Bulldog friends. Not much, i just need your help for one night a week, maybe a fortnight. I have a venue in mind, a night in mind, but a proposal that i wish to put forward to the Bulldogs.

Before i can do anything like this, i need to know that i have the backing of a few friends. This football team is my way of life, i don't want to loss them.

Please contact me via e-mail: wbfc@hotmail.com is you are interested.

Come On Bulldog Guys & Gals

Anyone interested?

 

[Isdogisgood]

Yep...but i have class now so i don't have time to email....

Nights are tough for me with work. I am more than willing to help in any way i can manage to do so. But will struggle to make the regular meetings. Everybody who reads this i implore you to get behind PC's idea. Our club just may be dying, maybe as a group we can change that, maybe not. At the very worst i want to go down fighting in any way i can. Anything less would be simply not the Bulldog thing to do.

I wish I could come along to meetings but I don't think it would be possible from here. Might donate a membership though.

I was thinking about helping out the doggies in some way after i finish my uni exams next month. PC28 I think this is a great idea and would love to help out in any way I can.
I believe we are really at the crossroads now. We must do something or our club will be no more.

 

[Top Dog]

I'll try and help PC

 

[The Doctor]

we should clone you PC over and over again so our club is never short of quality support.

My circumstances will make it almost impossible to attend anything but could do conference call links if this could work.

I will contribute however I can otherwise with any revenue raising ideas and will be sure to pick up my membership and encourage others to do so.

 

[PC28]

Thanks for your support.

It is my aim to promote the club to the best of our ability. I know we are a small group, but our hearts are in the right place, and i think thats enough to get us off the ground.

I was thinking similar to Sig when i was writing this. If we are going to go down, im not giving up without a fight. Nor am i going to stand by and say, "damn i wish we had tried this"

Im going to give it all i've got, and i have some good help behind me, i think WE can make a difference.

PC ill put it to my folks and see! Anything we can do to help hey!

Has anybody else here bought there membership for next year? They were on sale at the family day.

 

[Rocco Jones]

I was gonna delay it cause I'm not sure whether I'll be at Uni next year, which leaves the option of buying a concession membership. But I think I'll just get an adult social club membership now.

Anything that can help the club, PC, I'll definitely be involved. Even if it's a couple of nights a week, I'll get some time off work or whatever. Private Message me the details if you want, or post 'em here.

Definitely agree with the Doctor, we should clone about 30,000 of you, and the club will never have any of these problems.


PS: The Roos people on Bigfooty had a brilliant idea in getting about 10 people together to share the cost in sponsoring a player during 2001 ... maybe we could do the same thing?

It's fairly steep, and it would be totally understandable if a few people can't be involved, especially given that we've got some younger supporters that aren't working etc..... but personally I would be more than willing to be apart of it.

Don't think there would be much debate on which player would be first choice ... and I'm pretty sure that we get to be in a photo with the great man as well.

Something to think about, anyway.

 

[HahnPremium8]

I'm interested too. Though i'm not sure how often i could go because i live so far away. Would it always be at night?

 

[K9-54]

Good idea PC. I'll be a participant. But we all have differing constraints, both financial and time. Mine are constraints on time more than financial. So post what you want us to do and when and I'll see what I can do.

 

[PC28]

Ok - I'll set something up to give everyone the jist of what happens and so forth. Give me a little time. (The BF photo album is on hold as i only have about 10 pictures)

Westy Boy - That a great idea, and could be an idea we could do as this group im trying to set up. Our pet project if you will.

Glad to see i've got some support. I'll keep you all posted.

Two options: do something, or sit around 10 years from now thinking 'I should have done something.' I'd love to help in some capacity. Good on yer PC!

 

[bulldogs1]

I'm in too, PC28. Well done, everyone else, good to see you getting behind our resident lout.

Let me know how I can help, PC - I have commitments Thursday and Friday nights, and early Sat evenings.

Cheers.

 

[dogboy23]

I go away for a few days and you all start making projects without me I am definetly in a brilliant idea PC.Depending on how it worked out you could probably even get players or representatives of the club to come to some meetings.I know there are a few of us who know ppl or players from the club personally.Besides all this good bulldog related stuff it would be the perfect chance for mr to drink Sig under the table.

Well i sprint with the best of them...But if you want to see that, don't expect me to be able to find the under side of the table until morning!

 

[dogboy23]

Just thought i would get it back up the top so everyone can see it.

What part of the thread do you want people to see????

 

[dogboy23]

Here is a thread with a few good ideas on it.PC has a more lengthy post about it hidden away somewhere(I couldnt find it).The idea of sponsoring a player is also a great idea.Willanyone join in with me and sponsor a player?Not sure how much it would set us back but im sure between us all we could muster up enough.Anyway I am not going to spend my money on anything else that is a better cause.

P.S-sorry about digging up an old post but I was asked to and it is related to alot of the current posts.

Thats alright!If it was $2,000 and out of the 30 or 40 bulldog posters we have on this site we couldnt scrape up enough dosh it would be dissapointing.Having said that it is alot of money.Anyone care to join in?I realise alot of people have families to feed or are to young to earn enough but if you are interested please say so.
