| Quote: PC Plum "The post above is excellent, and if the powers that be are reading, notes should be taken.
My thoughts:
1) Sign a competent addition to the staff, to support Neil on all matters off field and match day.
2) Better engage voluntary support to improve match day resourcing.
3) Yes, club shop is adequate, but something more permanent would be better.
4) Market the match day locally as an event; make it an event; promote it as rugby; engage the local community like Toronto do.
5) I still love my idea flagged a while ago of a hot tub experience, watch the game and have a drink from the hot tub …. it worked in 20/20
6) There are RFL rules around curtain raisers, especially if the Academy are playing, but in conjunction with Neil, I manged to run two London Junior League games on pitch 2, pre match – it needs coordination but very do-able.
7) Half time entertainment is important. Dance troupe ? Kids games ? Mascot races ? Adults making a prat of themselves, etc
Re no10, I don't know why the away fans were ever 'given' the DB stand - I would have made it a family stand, at one game there were a couple of school groups there with our drummer - all chanting , making a great noise!
Otherwise i agree with all your points - new soundsystem, new toilet block for new stand, entertainment pre match, half time, post match and some bloody marketing - however I think I'll pass on the hot tub come next Feb!
David Hughes needs to invest, or better still bring some new investment in. Let's get it RIGHT this time - and let's not forget if Hughes hadn't had his hissy fit and very nearly pulled the plug after the CC semi final mauling we got at the hands of Wigan we really shouldn't have had to go through these Championship seasons!

Spending between CA$10,000 and CA$20,000 per game advertising on Metro routes, on local radio and trough a network of PR companies shows how committed The Toronto Wolfpack and David Argyle are to the long term success of the club. Surely you can applaud them for this, you have only spent what seems like a lifetime criticising London and other RL clubs and events for their lack of marketing.
Sometimes events get cancelled, it happens. The Wolfpack are here to stay, take a look at the 6 new signings they’ve just made. They will be in Super League 2020.

Is English not your mother tongue? I just complimented them......I said the beer garden was great, the blanket free ticketing was good but non-sustainable and that they have done OK so far

| Any Super League club needs 8000 to 10000 fans on a weekly basis to be sustainable (paying full price not £99 a season / £7 a game). Many Super League clubs (Huddersfield, Salford,Wakefield and London) don’t get this and are not sustainable having to rely on individuals to put their hands in their pocket to make up the difference.
Toronto are no different currently relying on David Argyle, however IMO they are the club with the most potential to become sustainable.

| As far as TWP go. It will be interesting to see how they fare next season. Having tasted defeat against Fev and then a couple of times in the Qualifiers and the major disappointment of losing the MPG. Will they retain the fans? I do not know.
What is for sure it will be a long time before they see rugby again, so wounds may heal. Or fans may move on to another sport that has some success, all be it against weak opposition.

| What's full price? You can only sell a product at a price it's worth.over price it and no one buys it
99£ at London is the cheapest ticket and only available to last year's loyal fans,
Not sure why TWP are more sustainable, fine they get 7k plus through the gate but we all know a lot of those are give away tickets. Will those 7k still turn up when it's 50can d to get in?
