Yellow Army Fundraising

As The Yellow Army are constantly looking to improve the atmosphere and displays on the terraces, maybe some sort of online fund could be set up and all money raised could be reinvested in flags, drums etc.

Payments can be made instantly by card, however big or small, and maybe a few responsible and passionate supporters on here could look into getting something set up. I'm pretty sure that's what Aldershot's RBA do, and they've done well to say the least.
Thoughts? Can something like this work? Or is it better to design a new flag for example, then set up a fund for that alone?

I applaud your work for creating a atmosphere at Plainmoor but please reassure me that Barlow is not in charge/have anything to do with this?
I remember a certain fund raiser he was involved in before and the least said about that the better.

Barlow's got nothing to do with this, I just came up with the idea. We would need someone to handle the money, and another issue is voting what to spend it on.

I need to get back on the ball, but I think a quick way to raise money is to sell things, like t-shirts etc.
One thing I was thinking of was something like this

We could have Yellow Army along the top and TUFC underneath with out names in it.
On the front we can have the TUFC logo (we need to check with the club first).
I have sent an email to them asking for costs, but if it costs £11 per shirt and we sell them for £15 we make £4 profit on each, which we can put towards flags, banners etc.

I have done some digging, at most it is going to cost us £25 per hoodie (we can have cheaper alternatives like t-shirts) but the bigger the order we place the more discount we make. Therefore I was thinking of setting up a site where you guys can buy them for £25 no matter how many we sell, and then any discount we make (let's say we sell 50 with a 10% discount that makes a total profit of £125) which we can put towards a large "Yellow Army" flag or something? If we only sell the minimum of 25 hoodies then we get our hoodies but no profit.
