As everyone may or may not know, the Season Tickets For Charity has been going along quite famously with the help of many board members and Blackburn locals. And while we're all wrapped up in the season, the transfer window and take-over talks, something else is approaching...the start of NEXT season. So, in an attempt to fine tune the process of next year's initiative and to make it a more polished operation, I'd like to sound everyone out on why they did not contribute. I know this sounds a bit accusatory and this isn't the aim at all. All that I want to know is what about the initiative drove you away.

I don't want anyone to feel like I'm badgering them as this is not an exercise in guilt. I just want to know if there were any reasons people didn't contribute that I can fix in the future. For example, i know the PayPal method of contributing isn't the best way, but for now it's all we have until we can get a better alternative worked out. These things I need to know so that if it's an overwhelming issue i can work overtime to correct it in time for next season. For example if a fan who has season tickets for them and their family and also goes to all the Away games (and I know there are more than a few of these) they can click on 'I spend enough money on Rovers' because they blooming well do.

Again, I cannot stress enough that this isn't meant to be accusatory or to single out anyone who didn't contribute. So please vote to let me know what your reasons are/were. Again, you don't have to comment, just vote. Anonymity is fine with me, just as long as the point is given. If there is a reason that isn't listed in the above poll and you don't mind letting your opinion be known please comment and I can add that to the list of things to do in order to get this charity not only as legitimate as possible in everyone's eyes, but a seamless operation for future seasons. I also wish that multiple choices could be made so that if anyone had more than one reason it could be made known.

Thank you all very much for taking the time to vote

i would love to help but unfortunatly i have to renew my season ticket and am also due an operation on my shoulder so could be off work for a few months, although this could change as i am taking the company i work for to court due to the accident and if i get plenty of compo i could be in a position to help out.

Same really, season ticket needed, money has to be spent on car since some kid decided to kick a few bits off, holiday to pay for, dog needs an operation etc etc.

Normally I'd have had savings and it wouldn't have been a problem, but that all went since my ex decided she wanted to sleep around and I had to pay for the pleasure ... such is life :rolleyes: Was that too much information;)

Next year will be easier though.

I understand 100% and I was one of those who wanted to but just couldn't for financial reasons not too long ago. I just wanted to see if there were any other reasons that I could fix for next time, y'know?

I can't believe we only have 7 more Home games. That means the season's almost over!!

Oh and just in case you don't read the BRFCS.co.uk messageboard as well, Bet24 stumped up 6 tickets per game until the end of the season. So now we have 12 tickets for the kids of Blackburn/Darwen!! How cool is that??
