Here's to Coach - Hes true blue........(still)

[.X.]

For those members who have been here for a year or so - you may have read this post. Please forgive me this is a repeat, For our newer members Hi, can I have a moment of your time please....................




This Site, that I, like many of you like to claim as my own, is run and operated by a guy as a hobby. To call it a backyard operation would be unfair, as the construction of this site is very well put together. And the content is outstanding for someone who not only has a full time job but also a young family and a wife that requires both time and effort. He cant spend all day and all night monitoring TWF.com nor writing articles.

It may surprise you to know this but the running of this site actually has continual and ongoing costs that have to be met.

Fund raising and raffles over the last year have helped. Donations that Coach has received have greatly helped. But the biggest supporter of this website is Coach.

I would like each of you reading this post to ask yourselves these questions;
How long would I continue to spend my own hard earned cash on this project?
How long would my husband/wife/life partner/bank manager allow me to continue to spend my own hard earned cash on this project before they say enough?
How long until the lovely Mrs Coach says that's enough?

If the answer to these questions is "not long". Then you may start to get the feeling that I got that inspired me to write this post. How long until this site closes due to their being an inability to meet the costs of running this site? Coach cant support it forever.

Please don't misinterpret this as a Dire warning that the site will be closing shortly. I don't have this information. Please don't say OK - how much does Coach need for the continued operation of TWF. I don't know that one either.

All I can say is every little bit helps. Not everyone can afford to donate money, I know that. If you cant afford to that's OK. If you can afford to there is that link to PayPal for a Donation. Or if you don't like PayPal get in contact with Coach, I am sure he can tell you about another way of making a donation.

Coach isn't asking for Millions, Thousands or Hundreds. In fact he isn't asking. And I am betting he is going to kill me(again) when he reads this. (again)

In closing I want to say this, thank you to everyone, and I do mean everyone who has contributed to this website in some way since its inception. Here's to the Western Force. and Here's to Coach. He's True Blue

Good on ya Coach! and good on ya X! When I get a bit of cash (spent it all on Force items for the 07 season) I will try and make a donation.

Thanks Coach- you are a legend

[The Lone Hydrangea]

[Lonzy]

[RuckNMaul]

good ol' coach and bless his trouble and strife
a woman with patience is hard to find

[The EnForcer]

Good one Exile. Coach....your are a ****.

[The InnFORCEr]

A pleasure to meet The X while he was "on tour" as well. As X indicated it's not just $$$ that make this site work, by simply handing out as many cards as you can at Force matches etc is a huge help and it costs you nothing yet the return to our site is massive. I got rid of a whole box at half time to all all the corporates by whacking one on thier dinner tray while they were eating, they couldn't rufuse.

And Coach....you are da man, keep up the exceptional work.

[Burgs]

Bottom right of each page Slomo, link says "Donate to TWF"

[slomo]

cheers burgs, its always the last place you look, for some reason i thought it used to be on the panel on the left hand side of the home-page

[Burgs]

I think it was until the boss decided to go a bit more discreet.
We had other ideas

[.X.]

you mean threads like this aren't discreet?

[Jess]

I'm always blabbing on about how great TWF is to the superstore customers and we have cards in the store.

Maybe we could staple them to our bags or something... that's a thought.

But as soon as I'm financially stable (being a student is not fun) I'll send some cash your way Coach.
