HEAT NOT READY TO FLAME OUT
Guildford Heat’s fans have put the club on target for salvation after raising a large chunk of the money required to keep it in business.
Officials have confirmed that their ‘£25k in 25 days’ campaign is on track to succeeded with two weeks to go in its chase.
The fund-raising bid was started when owner Alan McClafferty warned that he might be forced to pull the plug on the BBL Trophy finalists due to a cash crisis, as first revealed in MVP last month.
“The Supporters Club would like to thank again everybody that has donated to the £25k in 25 days campaign to help us reach our current total of £17200,†said a spokesperson.
“We now have 14 days left to raise a further £7800.â€
Details of the campaign can be found here.
Do you like our work?
We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.
We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.
We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.
If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.
We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
