Blues,
Now, we've always endeavored to provide the very best place on the web for fans worldwide to congregate to discuss Everton FC and as a big part of that effort, we're investing in a new vastly improved dedicated server which will make the website quicker, and considerably more stable. More detail on this will appear shortly in the Announcement & Support forum.
Ensuring GrandOldTeam is sustainable is my biggest priority, so most of my effort is on balancing costs and the new server investment comes with a sizable monthly cost but the outlay is a necessity. I don't expect GOT to be self sustaining, but I need to ensure the gap doesn't get too great where it's too big a strain for me to fund. So, we need your continued/increased help.
How can you help sustain GrandOldTeam?

Please do so.
