If you're visiting this site please turn off adblocker for this site. We rely on ads revenue to pay for the running of the site with excess used for sponsorship of the Club, e.g. the shirt sponsorship of Alex Fisher.

At the moment we're not getting enough revenue to meet the Google threshold for payments. A significant drop in revenue, not helped by about 20% of visitors running adblock.

I am in the same boat as Indo. AFAIAA I have done nothing to block ads and need to be told how to unblock if that is desirable

Are you suggesting it helps the site if we somehow ask to see the adverts ?

No, we get more visitors (ignoring bots) than logged in users. It's the visitors (i.e. those not logged in) that I need to stop using adblocker on this site

I'm considering installing software that will bock users running adblocker.

Our income yesterday if repeated across each day in April, would mean that we wouldn't have enough income to pay our hosting fees. :(

Is there some way for the rest of us to contribute?

I might consider a patreon account. We have enough reserves to keep us going for a few months. It will be our inability to provide any sponsorship money to the club and the Women's team is what upsets us the most.
