Hi Guys,

As you know over the last 9 years DEMONLAND has always been (and always will remain) FREE despite the fact that it costs us to run the site. We have to pay hosting fees, domain name registration as well as the time it takes to upload and maintain the site. I have set up a donation link on the homepage in order to encourage the members of this site to help us contribute towards the maintaining of this site that you all love. It will direct you to the PAY PAL site which is completely secure. I don't expect to make money from this and any funds not used directly towards covering the costs of this site will be donated back to the club. I appreciate and thank everyone who assists us in this. Cheers and GO DEMONS,

Andy

You guys provide an outstanding service, especially appreciated by us footy-starved interstate supporters of the Mighty Demons. Keep up the good work ..... I would feel bereft without Demonland. Have just contributed a small amount towards your costs, and will dig much deeper should the need ever arise.

Ever thought about displaying logos of businesses who sponsor the site?

That's a great idea! There are so many companies out there that would be willing to sponsor this site, whilst exposing their brand for a win win! Demonland has such a targeted niche of passionate fans and sports marketing companies/holidays would be crazy not to sponsor a site like this. We are working with a few clients in this genre and I will certainly express the potential here!

It has never been my intention to make money from this site. My intention was always for this site to be a place where Demons fans could come to discuss their beloved club. Having said that over the years mounting costs associated with running and maintaining this site have made me seek donations from users in order to help pay for those costs. I have never wanted to take any money away from the club and I have never wanted to have sponsors that are either in competition with or are viewed as being associated with the club by virtue of being sponsors of Demonland. This is not fair to the club and not fair to the sponsors of the club who pay good $$$ to be associated with the club. As the club has no control over the content of this site they can't appear to condone or support the site and I would assume that this would include splashing the current sponsors logos on the site. In the past I have made offers to the club to put up any sponsorship that they want onto the site for free but have never heard back from them in this regard.

Anyway, a web hosting company eWorld generously host this site for free which is a huge help in cutting the costs of running the site. As a favour to them we have a non intrusive and subtle sponsorship ad at the bottom of the homepage (as per their request) of a company associated with the owner of our web hosting company. Please visit Melbourne Accomodation next time you visit Melbourne. They offer hotels, motels, resorts & holiday apartment accommodation from the Melbourne and the greater Victorian region. They have discounted all accommodation on their site exclusively for people coming to Melbourne. So feel free to use their search wizard to find the best accommodation at the Lowest Guaranteed Rate.

Hey Andy, what's generally the donation your after on average

Every little bit helps. People have given anywhere from $5 to over $100. One poster even offered his company's services and now hosts the site for free which has helped a lot in keeping our out of pocket costs down.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.
