Correct

Categorise the games next season. Grade them to the opposition being played. Grade A games (fev, fax, super league challenge cup side etc) charged at a premium rate. A sliding scale downwards for the poorer opposition. You cash in on the sides who bring away fans and the home fans who only come to the big games, rewarding the more loyal home fans who buy full season tickets and giving the fans who want to watch some of the lesser teams an incentive.

What is the point in discounting anything when 90% of the local population have never set foot anywhere near the complex?
Only winning will bring any crowds in and we are doing our best at it. Get to the Grand final this time and sell the club to the people not give it away. We need a big day or days to show the people the place where they can have a good time. Then they will pay the going rate.

Agreed.

We are where we are and until licensing is scrapped it is the same for every team apart from 5 ie Wire Stains Leeds Hull and that other team.

Every game needs to have meaning imo and take away p & r and the threat of relegation means the top get better the rest can't go anywhere.

Mind you I have been posting this since this ludicrous franchising experiment was introduced.

Agree with all of this mate.

Where do you get some of those figures from? Have you just thought of a number and quadrupled it then added a bit more for good measure?

Nice one

Ahhhh, take a snippet in isolation, ignore the hypothetical nature of the post and emphasise the insiders knowledge with a wink and sarcasm whilst throwing discussion point off track strategy.

I assumed £60k would be from radio income (retaliates with sarcasm oneself, knowing he shouldn't do it as the discussion will move off thread even more and some dummies may come hurtling my way. Note to self - you Bad boy, treat the proletariat better next time)

You were using those figures as an example (it says so in your post) but they're are so far off the mark you might as well say the Tooth Fairy came last night and bestowed untold riches on the club for all the use they are.

Steady on Michelle. I hope that's not true about the tooth fairy - I'm hoping she saves her 'hard-earned' for when dental problems come for me amd mine!

He will be not far out with the LISA figure , we've given them 30k so far this season, with more contributions to be given before the seasons over................

Superb work that Lynda.

Good to get back on topic too, stop the bickering on here, it's ruining the whole forum. We all want the same thing, if you disagree with what someone says can we not be polite about it?

I totally agree.

That's why I said 'some' of the figures.


The reason for my reply is that because some of those figures are there or thereabouts some people might actually think all those figures are based on fact when in reality most of them are a figment of Maurice's fertile imagination.

As things stand and despite various obsticles and learning curves, The Touchdown Club which is run soley by non paid volunteers from outside of the Club expects generate in the region of £35k in its first year.

This is total income via its membership scheme, corporate and sponsored events. Out of this we have to pay for tickets, meals, shirts, etc but still expect to generate a reasonable profit for the Club that wasn't there before.

Hopefully next season we can look to tweeking our format and increase membership, we are already discussing ways to do so.

We shall certainly be taking notice of what feedback we're getting from members and look to both improve the TDC and grow further. By continuing to bring in new people and businesses, plus the increasing valued assistance from LSV, this should give the Commercial Department the opportunity then to 'up-sell' further by tempting our members into various sponsorship packages.
