Poll Results: How would you feel about managers donation towards server costs being rewarded next season?
Currently 5 managers donate monthly, and another 5 donate maybe once a year. It would need 30 managers to cover server costs. £25 or Euro29 or $34 a year.

VOTING BREAKDOWN
| MANAGER | CHOICE | COMMENTS | |
 | James Tucker (RR) | Yes, I may donate but for no reward. | When I started playing postal games, we always paid for postage. A contribution should be expected. |
 | Lee Elkins (NAI) | Yes, I may donate but for no reward. | |
 | Andrew McCumiskey (SRA) | Yes, I may donate but for no reward. | |
 | Andrew Foss-Grant (MOT) | Yes, donate for a free apprentice | I will donate, reward or not. I'm not super into rewards for donations, but if it leads to more donations I'm all for it. I think apprentice makes more sense than tp or otf |
 | Peter Jones (AI) | Yes, donate and get 5 OTF. | One-off trial worthwhile |
 | Tyron Barnard (EST) | Yes, I may donate but for no reward. | I dont want rewards in the game. I do want everyone to support Mark! |
 | Daniel Fitzgerald (ANN) | other comment | I donate monthly, no reward is fine. However, anything that would encourage more to consider donating any amount I support. Free apprentice is worth 200-400k so I dont think this skews anything beyond other manager incentives that exist within the game al |
 | Steve Turner (ALO) | other comment | 5 OTF is way too much. I don't like paytowin but Mark shouldn't be expected to pay what he does. |
 | Ricky Hawthorn (STE) | other comment | I dont think optional donations should create a differential in the game. Whether contributions should be optional or mandatory has to depend on costs and needs. |
 | Mark Boland (DUU) | No, donations should remain optional | |
 | Leon Permentier (DEV) | Yes, donate and get 5 OTF. | Incentive is needed unfortunately, OTF therefore seems a reasonable reward. |
 | Stephen Williams (PET) | Yes, I may donate but for no reward. | Happy to donate now and again, don't particularly think should be rewarded |
 | Marc Legowski (CLY) | other comment | Already donate £5 per month. That £5 is noting in comparison to the overall running costs. Value for money in my mind |
 | David Campbell (KIL) | No, donations should remain optional | |
 | Willy Krosnyak (FOR) | No, donations should remain optional | We come from many different life situations. Will try to start donating! |
 | Andy Shaw (FAL) | Yes, donate for a free apprentice | 0/5 apprentice |
 | William Bushby (EDI) | Yes, I may donate but for no reward. | Subscription is increasingly looking a more likely option here. |
 | Alon Atie (FRA) | other comment | Speaking to my book I would like a reward for donations but as my overall view is the less rewards for items that dont relate to gameplay the better I suppose I have to stick with that. |
 | Robert McIntyre (INV) | Yes, donate for a free apprentice | |
 | Raymond Cini (DUM) | Yes, donate for a free apprentice | Spread the costs thinner over more people |
 | Dave Smyth (HEA) | Yes, donate for a free apprentice | Seems reasonable - just once a year though |
 | Bill Ramsay (RAN) | Yes, donate for a free apprentice | |
 | Malcolm MacLaren (SM) | Yes, donate for a free apprentice | |
 | James Bucknall (DFA) | Yes, donate for a free apprentice | Yeah, go on then if it helps |
 | David Blair (HIB) | Yes, donate and get 10 TP | I donate twice a year and would consider it a nice gesture to get a reward, although option 5 is still very real! |
 | Colin Scott (PT) | Yes, donate and get 5 OTF. | |
 | John Holden (GM) | Yes, donate for a free apprentice | Helps to nudge guys to donate |
 | Craig Bucknall (CB) | Yes, donate for a free apprentice | |
 | Rob Lye (ROS) | Yes, donate and get 10 TP | |
 | Matthew White (COV) | Yes, I may donate but for no reward. | |
 | John McCarthy (LIV) | No, donations should remain optional | Why are the server costs so expensive ?? i used one.com and it costs me like $100 a year. If there is a need to keep the game running then i would change my selection and agree people who donate should get a reward. |
 | Paul Cockayne (EF) | Yes, I may donate but for no reward. | |
 | James White (MON) | other comment | I have always been an advocate of incentives for supporting the game. But recognise it is difficult to not descend into pay to win with route. Which will turn a lot of people off. |
 | Alan Bishop (COW) | Yes, I may donate but for no reward. | |
 | Cameron Archibald (ARB) | Yes, donate for a free apprentice | |
 | Steven Champ (BER) | Yes, donate for a free apprentice | |
 | Bryce Kalmbach (QP) | Yes, I may donate but for no reward. | |
