BBC News OnlineWorksop Town Football Club says it is facing possible closure due to "outstanding debts".
Peter Whitehead, who owns the lease to the club's Sandy Lane football ground, has been asked to take over as chairman.
However, the club said he will only do so if £30,000 can be raised to help pay off its debts.
The Tigers' life president, Keith Ilett, wants about 300 supporters, local people and businesses to pay £100 each into a fund to finance the sum.

“Pete Whitehead is a football man with business acumen who is committed to securing the future of the club, having already committed a substantial amount of money, but he insists the £30,000 be raised towards settling outstanding monies owed by the club.
"He has already invested a huge amount of his own time over the past two months, advising us and helping us with future planning.”

BBC NewsA "cold-hearted, callous man" who conned an elderly man out of money has been jailed for six years.
Police said George Brailsford, 35, from Bateman Street in Derby, demanded cash for work on homes that he never carried out.
In one case he visited an 87-year-old man in Littleover claiming work needed carrying out on his house, officers said.

At Derby Crown Court on Friday Brailsford pleaded guilty to dishonestly making false representation for gain.
He also pleaded guilty to burglary after taking cash from the home of a 90-year-old man in Littleover.
In addition to these offences he admitted breaching a criminal behaviour order, which forbade him from approaching anyone’s property demanding money.
Det Sgt Taj Nizzer said: “He is a cold-hearted, callous man who targets the most frail and infirm within our communities."

BBC News OnlineA veterinary practice has warned the public following the deaths of three dogs linked to Leptospirosis.
Minster Veterinary Centre, in Southwell, Nottinghamshire, said it believes the discovery of the water-borne disease is related to recent flooding in the area.

The vet centre said pets must be treated early if they are suspected of having the disease.
It has urged pet owners to make sure they are up to date with their animal's vaccinations.
