They've raised about 400% of their goal. Interesting effort.

I don't think they've reached their real goal yet. Note the comment on the page, Help us get to £10k.

I suspect the ten featured clubs are also contributing, in kind, if not in cash.

The residuals will come from post production sales. The BGA apparently has approved and endorsed this effort, but I haven't seen any reference to material support, but haven't been digging. It will be interesting to follow as it develops.

Status in upper right hand corner says:

$10,980 pledged of $2,586 goal, 154 backers,8 days to go

$2586 X 4 = $10344 so about 400% of the original goal
