Biggleswade United launch mybufc.com
Biggleswade United launch mybufc.com
www.myBUFC.com Football club for sale at £23.50
Biggleswade United FC are bidding to be the first English Football club to be managed entirely by its online membership from weekly team selection to key spending decisions.
Ever cursed the manager for fielding the wrong players?
Wished that the oppositions striker could play for your team?
Thought that the ground could do with improving?
Ever thought you could do better than the board if only you had the chance?
Well now you have the chance for less than the cost of a football shirt!
Biggleswade United FC (www.biggleswadeunited.co.uk) are giving the opportunity to football fans all over the World to have a say in every aspect of running and growing the well established grass roots club.
Once the trigger level of 5000 members is achieved, control of the clubs finances, business activities and, most importantly, squad will be handed over to our online collective wisdom.
The site (www.mybufc.com) will provide match, scout and opposition reports, forums, player profiles and news for members to research and discuss plans whilst democratic e-voting will pass the motions that the club will act upon.
The membership will also be the team manager and, for every game, provide the team coach with formation, team tactics and player selection.
The target for the club, and the challenge to members, is to take the team to the Blue Square Premier league within 5 years. A tough but achievable goal for a club with plenty of history and even more potential.
The club has been run under charitable status for many years and membership to myBUFC.com provides an equal vote on each and every decision including areas such as player signings, ground improvements, youth team investments, training facilities, sponsorship, marketing and match coverage.
£19 raised from membership fees goes straight into club funds to be spent with existing income on anything and everything that the collective wisdom chooses, the balance going towards the development of the framework to support a collaborative, online e-democracy group.
The site has only been online for 24 hours and the response has been terrific - at this rate, well be running the club live within a few short weeks says Jason Higgins, creator of myBUFC.com
It looks like there are more budding Arsene Wengers and Alex Fergusons interested in growing a small, ambitious club out there than anyone could have predicted.
Its a big leap of faith for a small club like Biggleswade United but having a large group of enthusiastic, talented and creative individuals as managers could be just what is needed to take the club to the next level and beyond.
