What I was about to say; I liked the idea that AG had of opening the club for televised matches, but when it came to it, it was too much hassle for me to get there/home to bother.

As for the meetings idea - tell them to get shot of Linley's or whatever they're called before even considering it; the price they quoted me for use of Cats Bar + teas and coffees was outrageous; more expensive than two upmarket hotels with full conference facilities.

If they can get the pricing structure right, the meetings/training/conference idea could have some legs - they already have a big commercial database to market to I would've thought, so not a standing start. Before Linleys took over, I used it for training and meetings and it was spot on - the delegates loved it when the players were training on the pitch - added a bit of novelty value.

I have some ideas, but a bit of good PR and some good word of mouth would go a long way.
Its viable IMO (but its a huge gamble personally)and getting the supporters mixing at meal times with players etc is something new and different, and the general public on their way to work etc would have spomething new to try too.

I work for a well known high street financial services company and ran the Foxy bingo idea past them in a joint promotion with taking out a new credit card etc. Whilst they were happy to be involved in any way they could, they were reluctant to be seen to be supporting gambling and the conversation did not go further. However, there may be other companies in the market place who may be more supportive. I recollect one post stating that work colleagues would not get involved as it meant divulging bank details but if a new card was taken out to use specifically for the Foxy offer and then immediately cut up/destroyed would that encourage them to help?

However, moving forward, would it be possible to work with a credit card provider who could provide cashback/rewards which go to the club rather than the individual. The card could carry the club logo, as well as the providers name. One of the leading comparison website indicates: 'The top credit card rewards schemes pay you £3 for every £100 spent on them, an easy way to make £100s or £1,000s a year just by changing plastic.' I would quite happily use such a card with the bonus going to the club without any direct payment from me. Yes, I would 'lose' the cashback but would I really notice it? This has the added advantage that the club appears to have a historical following and supporters/followers who have moved away and cannot attend matches could take out a card and 'do their bit'

Sounds good to me. Particularly partial to a full english breakfast.

Wife and daughter just signed up to Foxy Bingo. £100 into the Club's coffers, it's that easy.

If 2,000 of our fans join that's £100,000 to the Club.

Go on then how do I do it?

On the club website you should get a pop up from foxy bingo, you need
to use the WTW code otherwise the club get zilch.

Or just google foxy.

Or join the lottery on line: wildcats.club1873lotto.com/ Go-on - you know you want to....

Why don't we make a couple of the £10.00 prizes in the lottery a voucher for Foxy Bingo registration.
the club then gains £40.00 on each voucher. EVERYONES A WINNER.

Every week we do a shop at asda and the following day i go on their price comparison web site, inveriably getting a voucher because they were not the cheapest (£3.14 this week).
Could the club approach asda and get them to arrange a promo where i/ we could hand the voucher over and instead of it being knocked off the price of the next shop it could be sent as cash to wtw.
just a thought!

Not too sure of the cost implications or even if it is achievable...but could we not have a card system for all members that instead of giving us discounts at local businesses we pay the full price and the discount we receive e.g. 15% gets given to the club. A logistical nightmare possibly, but once the system was in-place could be a good earner.

Local businesses would not necessarily need to be on the website (could pay an additional fee to do so) but just have some form of label/display at checkout. I think most businesses in the city would sign up to a 5% or 10%!!!

Would be a challenge to set up but going forward it could be a good earner.

Can we please keep all good ideas and suggestions in this thread, otherwise it clogs up the front page and other important threads get lost.

All suggestions are being looked into by the club

Sorry Al
