A
web site where visitors could purchase from high street stores was discussed,
as was a system called Text Aid
P.S
suggested that maybe we should consider requesting that J.Bonser names his
price for the land in his Pension scheme and from there assign whether it was
feasible to mobilise the fans to raise the money to purchase it from J.B, this
would have the benefit of saving the club the Ground rent every year.

send Chris Miller details of Web site “shop” for Chris to assess the
