As I have show, with simple maths.......HKA don't need to field imports to be self sustainable.....
Their chairman wants 10k fans as an average to be sustainable...they currently have 8,250....so 1,750 more fans per game or 22,750 in total. If you use the Ian Lenegan calculation from 2007, that the average income from a ticket is a tenner...then HKR need to either find another 227,500 per year in revenue.....or cut it off their operating costs.....
Now, I have no idea how much Big Tongan Willie is on......but you can see where this is going

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing

Except Big Tongan Willie will sell another 2,000 shirts with his name on , and bring in those extra fans who will stay as fans after he has left , giving HKROVERS more money to spend on their junior development , something that I'm sure you will agree takes time , even if you are in the heartlands , you only get players at 12 years old , so at least 6/7 years before you see any tangible results , it's taken Quins how many years , without any competition ?
Anyway i'm up in 5 hours with another 12 hour day in front of me , nighty night

If some people on this forum had a tenth of the knowledge about RL that Starbug has, there would be far better discussions. Instead, he gets dismissed instantly as a flatcapper by defensive Cru fans, for making observations that tend to be correct

Maybe he should use the knowledge constuctivly instead of taking cheap shots at a superleague team because the RFL bent his team over.

I have tried , I have contacted several clubs with idea's that are shall we say to use a few popular terms these days [ although I hate it ] Blue Sky thinking , outside the box , but are in fact just simple observations and then potential solutions to the problems those observations have revealed
These include the need for clubs [ I do tend to focus on the lower tier competition ] to work together in marketing , merchandise sales and branding , increasing turnover and profit , increasing attendances and atmosphere at games
Unfortunatley the main problem is that most if not all clubs are run by fans , fans who have been fortunate to make a few quid either through good business acumen or just plain good luck [ luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity ] , but ultimatley still ' fans ' , they unfortunatley then tend to stop behaving like businessmen and start behaiving like fans
I was involved for a while , but i always managed to separate the business from the sport , but as I said I witnessed many others who could and still can not
How often do we hear " He is a successful businessman , he knows how to run a club " , well let me tell you , there is no business in the world that can prepare you for running a proffessional sports club , how many other businesses can be a ' success ' but lose a fortune ? , or make a profit , but be deemed a failure ?
Are Chelsea a successful sports club ?
Yes
Are Chelsea a successful sports business ?
Definatley not
All most of it is is simple observations , unblinkered by club loyalty and historical ' rose tinted ' memories
As big Barrie put it , it isn't rocket surgery

If you deny it water for a week [iand then [/ilead it to water the likelihood is that you can make it drink.
