As with other threads, I don't think anybody would turn down a local benefactor with a load of spare readies to drive us up into the Football League again. Any ideas of who would be interested? Duke of Westminster - already invested in the KGV through his charitable arm, maybe he fancies selling a couple of his Mayfair buildings, changing our kit to yellow and green and getting his chauffer driven Roller over to Needham Market next October? Chris Larson / Leap 76 - put his money where his turkey teeth are already in sponsoring the stadium naming rights. Drives around Blacon in a flash Lambourghini so obviously has the disposable income? Winners breed winners. Tony Durkin / QHC - always wanted to own Chester City, certainly has a few quid but has been quiet last few years. Stuart Murphy - philanthropist, owner of wedding cars and bigger picture seer. Maybe the Ric Flair lookalike will return to banish all of our previous misconceptions with a brilliant financial plan and a dream in his heart? Terry Smith - made a few quid in the states on some radio thing, his old man is/was minted, maybe learned his lesson from last time. Feels like he owes us one and misses the zoo? I'm struggling now, any more? Just seen we're looking for a new stadium sponsor. The Leap76 owner must be to busy driving his hire purchase motor around Hatton Road. Never helped his community once him. Don't know the guy but by sponsoring the stadium is by definition helping the club.. Club needs all the support from the local business community it can get

Don't even get the point of this, the only "investment" coming in is from the existing revenue streams and boost the budget Best to maximise our existing income streams, work to get more sponsors and local businesses involved in the club. And now it seems Leap have leaped away from the club for the 24/25 season Strange one the Leap sponsorship as the company appears to have been dissolved back in August 2023 according to Companies House. Marks and Spencer would be an ideal stadium sponsor. Head office in Chester and a large local employer like MBNA.

It's not my job to contact anyone that's the job of the people who run it. I have already come up with an idea but you fail to take notice. Change the model and bring someone on board with some money and some ambition for a change. Most of us want to progress not tread watch existing 😂😂😂 Find some unicorns and a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Easy.

Change the model and bring someone on board with some money and some ambition for a change. Most of us want to progress not tread watch existing I give up. Try to engage your brain in future before you type. Have a pleasant Tuesday. It's a waste of time. It's just complaining about a situation when there's no alternative, which grinds everyone down and makes it even harder for us to succeed. It reminds me of my daughter when she was about 5, whining because it's raining, or the shops are shut, or the dress she wanted to wear was in the wash. Now that she's 8, she's mostly grown out of this and realises if a situation can't be helped, there's no point moaning about it and it's best to just make the most of it and not let it spoil your day. Meanwhile, adults who complain about the ownership model seem to need this simple point explained to them again and again and they still won't have it. And even if there is anything that can be done about it, they don't want to do it themselves and expect somebody else to do it for them.

Who would have thought that Larsen was a bullshitter, who cares about no one but himself. Blokes a complete tool, hope we send the bailiffs round for the money. Mind you, he is just piss and wind has nothing of any substance for us to take.

He was still selling double glazed windows at that point before taking on professional boxers and inspiring them...🤥

All that bollocks about being proud to be from Blacon and wanting to help support his community- had plenty of opportunities. Hope he wraps his Lambo around a Mollington lamppost.

It was mentioned at the cfu meeting we were looking for a new stadium sponsor for next season. Maybe we should call it 'The still owed money by Leap 76' stadium.
There's always a steady stream of flash tossers around who care about no one but themselves.

For those crying out for investment, have a look at the people involved in sponsorships since our NEW club was established - should be warning never to hand over the keys to anyone but a fan winning the euro millions.
i) Murphy ii) Larsen at leap. Absolute chancer. Was fixing jaguars before fronting this dodgy business. iii) That weirdo Woodworth posing as a super agent whilst teaching toddlers how to swim.
My last one is a bit far fetched but it goes to show the type of people out there who want to be involved and control a club.
I agree with what Harry on here said the other day - we may not have a sugar daddy but if we contributed a bit more each, we’d collectively have a budget akin to one.
And we sadly need to sell Burke for the greater good

I don't know the guy but this just seems like character assassination from here.
If the guy owes the club money then the club need to persue it via the correct channels and that's that.

Well the top part is your opinion which is fair enough and my post is based on knowing who he is. Hopefully the club do pursue him

Correct- thats not the same as Leap 76 International; that's a separate company that has never had Larsen listed. It does however have links to Leap 76 Group and Leap 76 LTD through other directors. All sounds legit.

Yeah with £1500 in equitable reserves. Football clubs always attract want to be businessmen, looking for nothing but status; true businessmen who have built them selves from the ground up are cut throat and more conscious about every £ than any fan in the stands. WE aren’t going to find someone who is willing to work n from 6 in the morning to 8 at night, constantly be on call, never going to take a holiday without switching off; all to plunder that hard hard earned money into an endless pit of non-league football and take shit from the fans each week to boot because we’ve not signed XYZ and beaten everyone 6-0 like city. Leap 76, Murphy, Vaughan and on and on… Keep the faith in fan ownership

A few months back I posted about Will Donations and unfortunately nobody replied.
People happily leave money in their wills to charities etc, why not the club you have supported all your life.
The Club could float the idea with fans to see if there is an appetite for it. Could even team up with a local solicitor to offer will writing.
Even if only 5 / 10% of your estate it would certainly help.

Bit of a difference isn't there. Honestly, what hope do we have from a commercial standpoint when we do attract sponsorship we get a load of abuse and fingerprinting back. Some big old companies on our doorstep in the city, M&S, Sykes to name but 2 what are going to do if the like of them came on board with sponsorship of the ground or stand?

Hate to say it, but if all this stuff about Larsen is true then it raises questions about the level of due diligence that the club have put in. If he’s such a notorious (and unpopular) character around Blacon, surely some of our board would’ve been aware of him and his antics - and if so, how come we still decided to proceed with the deal? Even a quick Google search of his and the business’ names reveals a bunch of ‘shell’ companies, which in itself ought to raise some red flags. A bit concerned that it’s not the first time something like this has happened - remember that Steve Jones fella or whatever he was called?
The fella always came across as a snake oil salesman - reminded me of that Peep Show storyline where Jez forges a certificate qualifying him to be a life coach. As Deesideblue rightly remarks, I don’t know who exactly people expect would be interested in buying us, if these are the sort of characters the club are attracting at the moment. You can add that Joe Sealy whopper to the list too, whose interest thankfully seemed to end as quickly as it began.
