Don't know how it works, but this is the background from a director of the club.

"We have a long standing supporter who has a database of fans who have been willing to help fund signings in the past. It's as simple as we provide info to him on a target and he communicates with that group. They then pledge money to help get the signing over the line and money is transferred to the club. It's quite informal but highly effective.

Some fans will commit 4 figure sums, some much smaller amounts. The net effect however is the money raised to get the signing over the line. Alex's wages will be paid by fans as his deal is incremental to the budget, he's aware of this and in our experience it creates a real connection between player and supporters."

Wow, quite impressive. Loan to end of season so committing to 4 or 5 months at what £1k to £2k per week (maybe less if parent still picking up some wages) - they're raising £4k to £10k??

Sarcastic undertone detected, Barry, but you've got to stop looking enviously at other clubs' signings.

If we haven't signed them then it's because we weren't interested, or because we but were beaten to the signing by another club for whatever reason. It's that simple.

Tom Lawrence seemed to suggest at the Trust AGM Q&A that they hadn't started on the data stuff yet.

The football department isn't hugely keen on the loan system, rightly or wrongly, and again.....if these guys are signing for part-time Wealdstone, then I can't imagine they'd improve us very much.
 
We’re hearing rumours that your hierarchy have blocked Hopper signing on???
Now Braintree are teasing for a signing tomorrow lunchtime???
