The Scouting arrangement for season 6 is likely to change. This change is also likely to link with a change to the donation procedure.

Next season I will be looking to adapt the donation rewards to allow donators to pick a reward from a list. This will only become a reality however if it doesnt mean we end up with 5 people in the scouting because no one else picks to have a scout. This would ruin the scouting so when commenting and thinking about these ideas please bear this in mind. The options available will probably give you the chance to pick from a number of options such as a scout, or maybe or slight extra increase in stadium capacity (maybe 2,500 instead of 2,000), or possibly a slight amount of cash for the bank account (but this would be less than £2.5 million to keep the scouting a viable option as this is how much a scout costs without donation).

The change to scouting is almost a certainty. I will look to merge the Brazilian and Argentinian scouting, plus extra's, to create a "South American" scouting region. This will mean a 4th scouting area will become available and I'm looking for suggestions on where people would like that to be.

Comments on all ideas in this post are welcome.

Richard.
