To be honest LISA should have just been tweeked to include a corporate membership as like us the Touchdown club is run by volunteers and we only have only 5 committee members who run LISA.
This is why its been difficult, we all after all want whats best for the club. Some LISA members pay £20 and £30 a month and maybe they would like to be able to attend meals and the benefits the Touchdown Club get before games etc, just a thought.

It's certainly something that could be discussed, the minor stumbling block is for meals we need numbers 2 or 3 days beforehand but maybe we can discuss something together for next season.

The Club already have good value upgrade packages to Season Ticket holders for match day meals etc.

They sure do....
I sampled this at the Dewsbury game. I upgraded for just £9. It was the Curry night, I was in a box and got a meal for just £9 extra.

I think we need to look after the fans that pay into the club week after week, whether it be touchdown or LISA.
I going to contact the LSv at TRevors suggestion to see what discounts etc they could offer LISA members, think this is something that should be looked at, way I see it going is that we are going to really struggle to get more then 2000 through the turnstyles in this league.
This is way the club can inprove their chances of a SL Licence.
We need to generate more income thats not reliant on the weather and the day we play.
WE need the fans to back the club, the Stadium and the council to back the club too for it to work.
We need some serious marketing doing, even if this means spending £10000 less on playing budgets, lets build the club from the bottom make it viable withOUT a Sugar Daddy.
Look at the situation a lot of the SL clubs will be in when their Sugar Daddy walks away.

Thanks for the reminder

How do i cancel my £20 a month to LISA and how do I join the Touchdown Club?

I will be looking into this for LISA members next season for those who would like the corporate bit, bear in mind any money you pay into LISA monthly we make a monthly payment to the club for the players contracts we sponser. Depends on how you want to help the CLub really!
Why not stay a LISA member change your dd to £5 a month and join the Bronze Touchdown club Jimmy85, this is what a lot of LISA members have done so you still get benefits you get like cheap coaches etc etc you can still have and also any others that I can get.

As WAS SAID at the AGM meeing the last thing we need is everyone to start dropping out as being a member of LISA or the TOuchdown Club IT IS as important now as it ever was, those who think that everything is great and we are out of all the money trouble etc are wrong, we still will have a lot of hard work to do to turn it all around, so keep your money coming.
PS how would the club have managed over the last fews weeks with no home games ie no income without the contributionS LISA and other s have given to the Club, we gave them a cheque for £7000 at the LISA meeting the other week......

Thats a great figure for year 1 and something to build from - well done !!

Well done LISA committee

Both LISA and the Touchdown Club have done amazingly well to bring in extra income so well done to all concerned because God knows where we'd be without you.

Great thread from Mo, and lots of great ideas from most if not all. Fantastic effort from LISA & Touchdown club. For what it's worth I believe there is definitely room for both organisations. Either organisation would you have raised the combined 70k on your own? The answers probably no.

In terms of the club great season playing wise in what was an extremely difficult pre season. Amazing work by players and coaches a like.

As Mo says 2013 should be our year and one we really show we are a SL club. What's the strategy from the board and CEO to achieve our We Beleighve ambition?

Despite a great season of RL the gates have dropped by 25-30%, why? I've stated many times the huge increase in season ticket prices drove away a % of loyal supporters. This includes myself; together with a significant season ticket increase and ludicrous random playing days to appease Swinton Lions and the LSV I have found myself at NO games this season. This at a time with a 18 month old little girl were me and my wife should be attending as a family. Will I choose £36 every home game without refreshments to watch us in any league probably in SL. Our pricing strategy is a joke IMO.

For the record 1, adult 3 junior season tickets for Bolton costs £19.90 this season for the best seats. What does the equivent cost us? Also those BWFC prices can be Paid interest free over 10 months.

What will the board and CEO do to get us back to an averge just short of the SL criteria?

Not enough time for too much detail but a quick look below shows it shouldn't be impossible :-

2012 shows we have circa 1600 present die hards

900 missing for 2.5k

Segment up as follows :-

Families 400

100 families of family of 4 or 200 at family of 2

Leigh East 150

10 kiddies age groups and 1 senior team

20 players involved in each group. Each child player 2 parents.

Total possible 320

Attract less than 50% = 150

Leigh Miners - REPEAT AS ABOVE

Remaining 200 from :-

Any lapsed fans
Old fans
away fans
promotions
corporate

I know my figures won't be exact but it's an example.

Alternatively we can stick another £20 on a season ticket and £1 on matchday tickets lose another 100 or 200 fans, tick over but will never return to SL.

Hopefully the not so new General Manager will have some great ideas to justify salary, house & car??

Think linda mentioned a couple of pages back about axing a few quid from the team to spend on advertising the club,well as you say ste axing the general manger saves a flippin big wedge

p.s did he ever get them inflatable blowy dancing figures? think that as been the only thing he as come up with

Does the LSV company not pay Richies wages?

I'd be amazed and if true makes the appointment even more strange?
