Thanks for stopping by at the ranch John! I'll summarise the reply I left there :

1. I wonder if there is a potential source of income right there in Kampala that the KJT could tap into, e.g. a bicycle repair shop (not that I know anything about the state of bicycles in Kampala)- something that the older kids/young people could run for work experience, where the profits could go towards KJT's day-to-day costs.
2. Your Trading Cards idea fits in nicely with something that was suggested to me the other day, and which also fits I think with the World Connectory Project : A "league" which would feature the KJT teams and junior teams from elsewhere, (global),(they would need to sign up for it), they wouldn't play eachother but a tally could be kept of the number of games won, goals scored, etc., so that you'd end up with a "winner" and hopefully an expanding fan base (even if KJT don't finish top!). It would need a dedicated webspace and an updateable League Table. Different teams / players could be star-featured each week. It would essentially be a promotional/awareness tool, but with lots of potential for spin-offs such as Trading Cards... and paper hats in the various team colours, perhaps!
3. Football Clubs are run as businesss - the KJT is registered as a business - unfortunately I know zilch about the football business, which is why I've tagged my blog with words like "sport" and "soccer" in the hope of attracting attention from sports-minded business people- football fans know what football fans want much more than I do!
