Yeh it's a part time job hours wise. If we've got a week where we play Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday it's a good 15-18 hours work in that week at a conservative estimate, previews and match reports tend to be two hours each, and then there's easily another six on top of that with all the photos and everything else. That's not including the travelling to and from the game which, like I say, could be in fcking Blackburn (I always use Blackburn because it's the most expensive, shttest experience and most guaranteed defeat). Times I enjoy it, other times I'm just doing it because I need the money to pay bills, and now there's no money, so...

I will go first. I would like to support you with a £1,000 donation, no strings attached. Let me know what is the best way to make that transaction. This site is too valuable to lose and I enjoy your work. | | | |

That's ridiculously generous and I wouldn't expect that. But thank you.
I'll go away in August, set the Patreon up, and maybe a donate button for the previews and reports, and have it all up and running for September two weeks before the season.
Genuinely heartwarming this thread though, struggling to believe it TBH. It also makes Jeff right, which is annoying. | | | |

The post-game podcast sounds great TBH! As I've said on Twitter, I'd happily subscribe on Patreon. As soon as it's live there's CAD50pm just burning a hole in my pocket. | | | |

Sorry to go a bit OT - but when you say demise, what happened to the Ramble exactly? I stopped listening last year when they went daily, I felt like it was overkill.
BTW potentially linking the R generation writers in is a nice idea, gives them good exposure. [Post edited 24 Jul 2020 14:32]

Please just put a donate button on the front page or at the top of the forum so we can help out. Sadly, some of us need this site more than you know. | | | |

Clive love the work you do and the massive effort shown in getting to matches up and down the country trust me I know what it cost traveling to see the Rs each season and we only get to see 4 to 6 games a season with our flights and hotels etc we spend approx £30k a year, but we do it as we love this club the same reason you do it, Clive pm me with your bank details and I’ll pay you £120 now and direct debit £10 a month for as long as you want run the forum.
Can’t imagine LFW without you, quality site | | | |

Not that time likely allows but an awaydays spin off column might be good extra content. Thinking regular transpo/early ticketing heads ups and local amenities with a bit of the travelogue stuff you sometimes do (which is always v enjoyable).
But yeah no a More Blood strategy is probably about as healthy for you as it is for the club. | | | |

Yaaaaa, there's a basic design flaw there somewhere.... | |

Yeh we used to do Awaydays as a thing, pre match travel and train, then a write up of the day.
I'll look at bringing them back when awaydays are a thing again, which I hear will potentially not be at all next season. :-( | | | |

I would also happily pay via patreon or donation, I’m not a big poster on the forum but I must look at it at least 6 times a day and can’t imagine a match day without reading the preview or report.
All the best | |

I'll do the same.
Someone was incredibly kind to me this week and it's left me with extra cash. This seems a great way to spend some of it. | |

Clive, your reports previews and everything else are hugely important to my well being and happiness! Of course I'll happily contribute too
One thing I suggested years ago as well is why not publish previews/reports in a book at the end of each season, I would really love the 2010/11 one for starters :-) | | | |

This is a wonderful site and I am sure we are all grateful for all the great work Clive puts in to keep it running. I am happy to contribute so that LFW can continue forever..... | | | |

We have had the idea of doing a book of classic reports. Both from things like the play-off final and 3-2 v Liverpool, but also the 0-0 v Stoke and 4-0 loss at Norwich when I went off on one. | | | |

A fantastic report that, as usual, encapsulates the thoughts and feelings of everyone watching...uncanny really.
Absolutely love the fact that our star player and all round charming young man showed the whole world, what we already knew, that he is without question, utter class.
Also have high hopes for Kakay. Yes he had a rough ride, but he has pace and aggression and battles like his life depends on it. A long way to go, but confident he will come on leaps and bounds next season.
With regard to a subscription....where do I sign? | | | |

This website is absolutely priceless to all of us and I will happily pay whatever it takes to keep it going.
Is it worth setting up a funding page for voluntary contributions now? | |

Clive,
Don't do any extra content (podcast, whatever). But do stick up a thing for contributions and see how it goes. You'll be surprised.
I think you'd do well to set up a monthly subscription though- I pay subscriptions for some awful sh+te, paying one for something that's genuinely good would make a welcome change.
Best of LFW book sounds like a great idea. | |
