Buy a brick : Fri Nov 20, 2009 12:08 pm  

We've all heard about the possibility of the buy a brick scheme, I think around £25 would be a reasonable figure for a standard size of say100mm x 60mm, what do others think would be a reasonable price to pay?

Another idea may be to buy a brick to commemorate a friend or relative who supported the club and are unfortunately no longer with us?

Example
In memory of A N Other
A tiger forever



In addition we could also have a brick for every player who has ever played for the club on the wall, then get people to sponsor them,

Example
Gary Belcher (1988 - 1989)
sponsored by A.N. Other

All great ideas, id buy one or some for myself, & one for my late dad, who was a wheldon laner and big cas fan.

Would be a great way to remember loved ones passing in our new home

It's an excellent idea and should raise some revenue for the club (I say ring fence it and spend it on youth development).

I'd have one for me, the boys and my late Grandad - and my unlces in Oz would be interested too....

I think Doncaster charged £50 for the Keepmoat, and I think that's fair because it's something that can be read the entire time the stadium is open, which could be up to a century, well worth it imo.

I think the general idea is to raise funds for the stadium, be it actual development or share ownership within the facility. This is something from which youth development would reap greater benefits in the long term through increased earning potential.

I think I'd be happy to spend up to £50 on one, obviously would prefer it to be around £25 though

£25 is a much better price for a brick. Just pray they don't spell your name wrong.

I think £40-50 is reasonable. Maybe ones which are at a reasonable eye level would be more than say the bottom row.

As I posted on Casforum, have a minimum spend of £20 but allow fans to spend more if they want to, after all, it's going to the stadium fund.
