Quote: Kelvin's Ferret "Don't know if it's been mentioned before, but the club has apparently removed the discount on merchandise to season ticket holders because it can no longer afford the discount. At the last home game against Saints I used mine to buy some stuff for my brother and got discount, but yesterday when I tried to use it against the new 30 year shirt (excellent shirt btw), I was told it's not being honoured anymore. I wasn't the only one who had the same experience.

Now initially I was told they weren't doing discount this season (as did the man in front) and we both pointed out that we'd already used it this season, to which the cashier claimed that was a mistake. But when I spoke to a friend who'd bought his shirt earlier he told me that cashier had told him and others about the recent withdrawal of the discount on cost grounds.

Now I'm not fussed about losing the discount, £3.50 is neither here nor there, and the new shirt is well worth £35, but it does bring home the way the club is being forced to shave costs.'"


I was also one who went into the shop to get the discount yesterday but it was pointed out that the season ticket discount expired on the 2nd May!! So not just been withdrawn but time expired...Serves me right for not looking at the small print and waiting too long to get a new shirt !!!

Didn't gat an answer when I asked Radford how much he paid Stokes to save his job.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_4438.jpg



Quote: poplar panther "I would love to be optimistic, but with gates on the slide and no new money coming in it just takes a change of circumstance for David Hughes and we are stuffed. Thank god he is into oil. If we lose the likes of LMS and replace him with the likes of Williamson the downward spiral will continue. It is only the non-activity re stadiums at Cas and Wakey that make me more confident of a new license. We do need a makeover though to catch the imagination of the London public. How, where and what has always been the question for the last 30 years.'"


Who?

Its not a great excuse but we've had a lot of smaller clubs at home for the first half of the season, and there seems to have been less of their fans than usual. We still have Wigan, Wire, Hull and Bradford at home and 3 out of 4 of them will bring between 500-1000 guaranteed. So theres a real chance we can push our average up to the 4k mark with a decent run of form and a vague effort at a marketing push. Where would Salford, Wakey, Cas, Crusaders average be if they werent within 20-30 miles of many other SL clubs? Probably very similar to ours, Ive never seen Saints bring the amount of fans to London that they take to Salford and Cas must get 2-3k from both Hull sides and Leeds.

Anyway its not an excuse as Les Cats get 7-8k every home game.

Quote: jbuzza "icon_lol.gif I was 35 when I started watching the Broncos....successful at what I did and believed at the time (RIGHTLY OR WRONGLY) that I could pretty much market and sell anything. 10 years down the line and I am still full of myself (you don't say icon_wink.gif ) but the puzzle that is Quins RL and crowds is maybe a bridge to far....as I have said before, I have friends in agencies in town and others who have made far more money than me in Marketing services and they, to a man/woman have scratched their heads when we have discussed the problem.

You may laugh when I say I couldn't do any better, but without any idea of what budget has been made available for promoting the game or what restrictions are in place it's hard to assess. What I have suggested over the years are ways that not only I came up with, but greater marketing minds as well and I have always tried to justify the cost involved when I have suggested spending money. What I will say is on paper, the Viral may have seemed like a good idea, the oyster card holder I would have had doubts about and the latenesss of offers being promoted on facebook is just inept.....But I digress from the thread (again icon_wink.gif ).....


David Hughes is a saint.....without him, there would be no LONDON club other than Skolars in the upper leagues of RL, but it is both unfair and stupid to rely on him time and time again. It's time to try to cut the apron strings and for the club to stand on its own 2 feet. To do this, cuts will have to be made in areas that are costing money but not generating any. 70k a week is a hell of a lot of money to be spending to run a loss of 30k a week........and let's be honest, regardless of the wealth held by DH.......that's a hell of an expensive hobby.

Quote: jbuzza "So given the above, why do you post so much poop ?'"


See.....this is the problem I face when dealing with people like you. You have a go and do so by either pointing out spelling mistakes, maths errors or just inane name calling. One poster in your "god will he ever shut up" group even went as far as to incorrectly question where and how I made my money....something that I will never forget or forgive.....I don't make personal attacks on individuals, unless I can back them up with facts, but it would seem that all you and your buddies have is personal insults.
"The Poop" that you mention is how I make my living...so there must be some truth in the expression, where there's muck, there's brass icon_cool.gif
If it's poop....and I don't say it isn't, then what have the paid members of staff at the club, people with degrees and experience, done?

I care about the issue.....because regardless of hom many LMS's we produce, without 1 man, there would be no club and that is not healthy (let's hope he stays healthy)...and I will contine to post on the subject. I leave the match reports to thiose who were there and the ref baiting to those who want to do that, but attendances are directly linked to all aspects of the club...without income, less money gets spent on development, less on promotion, less on players...less on pretty much everything.
BACK On thread topic..........
I repeat...spending 70k a week to lose 30k is not a good business model!
