So nothing definitive has been announced on Squad Builder for 2022 by the club as I am aware. Is the club progressing with the scheme this year or have they decided against it? Do the Supporters Trust know what going on with this?
It is has been a valued income raiser for the club in seasons past - Usually it is well marketed by now. Does anyone know what is happening with this scheme?

I think they announced they weren’t doing it last year as they felt like they were asking too much from supporters already with season ticket holders not asking for refunds and peoples incomes dropping with covid. I assume the same principle applies.
I think engaging with the Supporters Trust fundraisers is prob the best way to financials you support now (on top of buying tickets and merch of course)

Thanks for the reply. I did try and ask the Club but did not get a straight answer, FWIW I think they should run it this year. It is up to each individual supporter if they want to or can contribute or not.

For those of us who can't get to many, if any, games the Squad Builder was a great way to directly help the club finance players for the squad. I could buy a season ticket but it would effectively be a waste of a seat. Although this is not an issue at the AJ Bell where there is currently plenty of space, it could be an issue next season once we have a more limited capacity at Moor Lane and I'd hate for another supporter to not get a ticket for a big game because I'm hogging a seat that I'll never use.

I heard they were developing a Membership Scheme. Hope they think it through properly if ones launched

I know what you mean. Maybe think about sponsoring a player or a match or something? Or book a corporate box (or whatever they’re called) and give it away to a deserving case who can’t afford it (like me 😂). Not trying to be a smart arse, just ideas. It’s great that people want to contribute their hard-earned, I’m sure there will be ways |

Agree with the view that we need some form of fundraiser for those who wish to contribute. Maybe the club can engage the Supporters Trust on this or even a membership scheme. The current position regarding injuries highlights the value of such scheme's even if it is bringing in players on loan for a short time.
