| LFW Patreon launches today 07:16 - Aug 24 with 20139 views | Northernr |
Following the overwelming and personally quite humbling response after the West Brom game, we're today launching the LFW Patreon account.
https://www.patreon.com/LoftForWords
You'll see there are three tiers of subscription. Each tier gets access to our interviews in podcast form. Two hours of Ale Faurlin is on there now for you, and we've got some great guests lined up in the coming weeks and months. Although a lot of you said we didn't really need to do anything extra we've decided to offer this as a reward and thank you for supporting us financially at a tough time for everybody.
Top tier subscriptions also get access to the digital version of AKUTRs. This way we can give Dave some cash as well to support him through the pandemic and help keep that QPR institution going, and you guys get the high quality AKUTRs digital issues as a further reward and thankyou for your support.
This will help us continue to run the website as it is now and has been for 16 years, free to view, at a time when advertising money has fallen through the floor. We need your help to keep going basically.
Some of you also floated the idea of either one off donations, or monthly direct debits. Some of the offers were ridiculously generous so we thank you for that. If you do still want to go down that route then we have a PayPal account here...
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations&business=loftforwords%40yah
If you don't want to use PayPal, or you want to discuss sponsorship of match previews and things like that, then DM me seperately.
Massive thanks to Andy Hillman for getting this all up and running, and Harry Yeatman for editing the Faurlin interview for us. And of course to you guys for all your continuing ongoing support.

I wish it was as easy as it seems to have been for most people. My account is now 'disabled'. Do the system gremlins recognise that I hate IT stuff and then proceed to have fun? |  | | |

Can I use PayPal and donate a year's money in one go, please? |  |

Hi Lazy,
I don't see why not - I don't think that Clive's going to turn away money because it's all in one go!
We can't add you to the Patreon this way - Patreon doesn't allow 'free' or 'gifted' tiers - but we'll add you to an offline email list of people when the new podcasts come out.
there's a Narrative box in the PayPal donate option - just let us know who you are, what you're doing in terms of yearly subscription and whether you want AKUTRS or the podcasts to be emailed to you etc. and we'll wing it from there!
Cheers! |  |

Sorted. Done the PayPal bit, now got to work out what to do next...? New login, new name? Too many decisions. I've now got 2 golf club memberships (and I'm crap golfer), 2 angling syndicates(and I'm a lousy angler) qpr season ticket (and I'm a ...no I'm not!), national trust, spotify, bt sport, hants and iow wildlife, RSPB... crikey, the list goes on! |
Hants, where do you play golf?
I’m a member at Petersfield but thinking about moving to Corhampton next year. | | | |

Done and Done! | | | |

To others having problems, just keep trying. I called my cards and they said the problem was with PayPal, attempt #9 went through no trouble at all, gawd knows why. | |

Done, great to see this happen so quickly! | | | |
| LFW Patreon launches today on 20:41 - Aug 24 with 2348 views | Paddyhoops |
All done . Painless enough exercise.
I'd quiet happily pay that just for the match reports. | | | |
| LFW Patreon launches today on 20:48 - Aug 24 with 2338 views | Kiwi76 |
Initial attempt with card not working - no reason I can see & will try again later.
Already signed up with AKUTRs so won’t try & complicate things changing that.
Odd - said hadn’t worked but now email confirming all sorted. [Post edited 24 Aug 2020 22:03]

When Clive announces his retirement next month we'll only have ourselves to blame... |  | | |

I usually seem to encounter a hitch with these sort of things but very easy to do. |  | | |

Sorry If I'm being thick, but what exactly is the difference between the £2.50pm and the £5.00pm option? |  | | |

If you choose £2.50pm LFW get £2.50 per month.
If you choose £5.00pm LFW get £5.00 per month.
I don't think you get any greater privileges for paying more. The £2.50 per month is basically for people who want to contribute but can't pay £5 or who don't want to pay that much.
There is of course a fourth tier which is to pay nothing and just use LFW.
The whole purpose of this from my interpretation is to keep LFW going financially. As their usual income source has dried up. [Post edited 24 Aug 2020 23:49]
