Auchinleck Talbot Regeneration Funds update

[Auchinleckian]

For the benefit of anyone on here who is remotely interested, and especially for all those who have donated to the cause of helping us update our ground, the current scenaro is this.

We are confident of achieving the bronze level status for our ground that the SFA deem you must have to get automatic entry into the Scottish Cup each year. As part of this process a number of alterations have happend at the ground over the last three years, and the selling of programmes and memorabilia from football fans everywhere has played a major part in this. We cracked the £8,000 mark this last week, which is a phenomenal amount of money for a club of our size....and it's all down to donations, there's no sly buying on the side by me and re-selling, it's all gifts.

I'm hopeful by the end of next year we may be near, or cracked the £10,000 barrier. We now have the best programme shop in any football ground in Scotland by a country mile - and certainly the cheapest because we aren't buying to sell for profit, it's all profit. When the football season finishes in England soon, and you're lost for somethign to do why not pop up north to take in agame or twon like dozens of groundhoppers do every year, bring a well stocked wallet and enjoy yourself at the mighty Bot?

Great effort.

Just on a point of order, you only need an Entry Level licence for automatic entry into the Scottish Cup, not Bronze.

In case watchers have no idea what I'm talking about, you need an SFA club licence to enter the Scottish Cup, which are rated Gold, Silver, Bronze & Entry. Hearts and the new Rangers only have entry level currently......
