£268 is a bloody good start!!

| Readers 3

Right. A big, big thanks to those who’ve given so far. We’ve raised a credible £268 since lunchtime. I’ve asked the Big Blog Company to look at the problem and come up with an estimate so we all know what we’re going for more clearly. I really don’t want anyone to overstretch their budgets. I repeat, (and no doubt will again) if only half our regulars stretch to a tenner, we will be able to transfer Slugger to ‘industrial strength’ no problem. There is no other way around this. We have cycled 88,000 comments in the last 13 months. There are no free off-the-peg solutions to that kind of comment traffic. We’re relying on the readers (and well wishers) to get us back in the saddle!

We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!

For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.

Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.

If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
