Quote: mat "Think part of problem is friendlies are a month away. Club needs to save money ASAP. So players may already have been sold by time friendlies come round and fans have opportunity to make a difference.
Putting tickets on advance sales a good idea as it gets money in now when club needs it and allows it to affect how cuts in other areas are made. Only problem would be if friendlis are cancelled due to weather.. Maybe have to make non refundable if that happens, obviously still valid if match postponed though?. Only downside would be that friendly gates are split so half the money raised after costs would be going to hull and cas. Maybe ask them to only take half of money on a typical friendly gate beforehand?.'"


Excellent, Clubs have only recently bailed you out and now your expecting us to do it again. A much better idea would have been for you to run your business properly in the first place instead of spending pennies you never had

Quote: gutterfax "I questioned the claim that the 3 main areas of profitability were the shop (been there a while), the Coral Suite (been there a while) and Summer concerts (3 announced for 2013, 1 happened, it lost 6 figures). Are you saying that I was wrong to throw doubt on the viability of such a robust business plan
So where can a club make money beyond selling tickets? I know as a London fan, the idea of a club making money is completely alien to you, but some of us haven't had our consistent hemorrhaging of funds underwritten by someone with more money than sense.

A club shop with a good array of stock is a good way for any sporting club to make extra cash. People are willing to buy more than just replica shirts as long as what the club offers is good quality. The Bulls shop hasn't had the best range in recent years, but changing that up could see it turn a profit.

As said before, Odsal is a huge drain on resources at the club. Finding ways for it to pay for it's upkeep has to be a top priority for whoever's in charge of the club. So why shouldn't things like concerts be considered? Or opening up the Coral stand for use other than on matchdays?

"Arguably the best Rugby League side certainly in the last 40 years!" Phil Clarke.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_13707.jpg



Quote: roofaldo2 "So you question the wisdom of trying to get more money and use out of Odsal? It's an old stadium and he upkeep is one of the biggest weights round the club's neck but the ground is barely used over a year. Maybe 13/14 afternoons over the summer. But the rest of the year, it sits empty. The idea of hosting concerts is not a bad one, especially if they're held at points were the Bulls have a large gap in the calendar with no games as they had this year gone.

But please, show us your questions because all I remember you putting were snide comments about the acts rather than anything actually constructive'"


Roofy, if people have decided to ignore a troll it's probably best not to quote the said troll as it defeats the object. Just saying! icon_thumb.gif

It's obvious from today's T&A article that the support staff for FC has been dramatically hit by the budget cuts. When they've served their notice (mid January) FC admits it will be a problem to cope without them. I would not have thought these are the type of jobs which could be covered by volunteers. I haven't seen any reports regarding which posts have gone- I may have missed it. Does anyone know?
In the article FC discloses there have been approaches for players and he cannot sign anyone (including Evans) until people leave. Monday's RL Express suggested London have their eyes on Bulls players specifically mentioning Sammut and also that some new players were already signed--by the Broncos not the Bulls

No, that doesn't answer the question. Not that I expected you to provide one.
