Quote MICKY1920="MICKY1920"But the figure quoted was £5 and our crowd would not double.'"
How do you know our crowd wouldn't double, or even treble for that matter?
For what it's worth.
If 1000 pay £14 in and spend an average of £5 in the ground (which isn't unreasonable)it equals £14k on the gate + £5k merchandise = £19k
If 2000 pay £5 in and spend an average of £5 in the ground it equals £10k on the gate + £10k merchandise = £20k
If it was marketed right, something I think the club is weak at doing, I think you could get loads down
Bill it as Keighley vs. The French, get posters up in every shop in town, Silsden and Skipton, get flyers in the target, send out an event on facebook and get every member of the Green Army to invite every one of their friends down.
Sometimes you have to take a calculated risk in order to get a reward.
This looks like a good opportunity to do so.
