Taking that further, businesses pay £5000 to be put in a hat to be drawn at a pre-season game. Winner gets the main stand names after them, minimum of 25 businesses to enter. 1 in 25 chance of having the main stand with your name on it mentioned on radio, seen on TV etc for just £5000. Revenue of £125000 for 1 stand. do the same for naming other stands, bars, stadium.

Not a bad idea that!

Get local companies to do relatively small jobs around Belle Vue in return for an advertising board within the North stand on the back of the name boards of the stand. Any 'advertiser' would have the captive market of the Northstanders, because if you are watching the match you would not help but see the boards.
The first one for me would be a firm to put speakers within the North stand to enable spectators to hear the announcements!

Can I just say that if I was a potential buyer of a 2014 season ticket and having just spent quite some time looking at your website, either I am not looking in the right place or I think I am right in saying that nowhere does it say how much a season ticket (gold membership) actually is.

I found a poster advising that they can be purchased for £20 a month but is that 12 months, 9 months or what?

I would have thought that you should be making it clearly obvious as soon as someone logs on to the website how much they are.

Just a thought that's all.

Few quick ideas:

Get a 'classic' DVD series going, £9.99 for things like Yorkshire Cup final, Million £ match, Championship final game vs Feath etc.

Have events in Cats where you sell tickets to watch the above, invite past players who took part, offer food etc.

Stock versions of classic shirts in the shop, I'd quite like one without the sponsorship on that I could wear for a number of seasons.

Lower the prize money for the lottery and offer more things that are worth more to the fans but cost less to the club, hospitality, goal kicking lessons with that season's kicker, away game travel on the coach, you choose MOM etc. I'd also try and sell tickets at the game too to tempt casual fans.

Sell the program as a digital magazine that people can subscribe to, keep it going throughout the closed season for official updates.

I've banged on about an 1873 event til I'm blue in the face; so much so that I'm not sure I can bring myself to type it all out again. I think the most recent effort was when the new lottery manager started posting here.

Looks like there was no appetite for it at the club - or it was a crap idea.

Sell more players?

that will be for the new stadium and could be big cash generator

and what would be his redundancy package and would you not have to employ another body to do his job ?

I tweeted the Cribs last week but not had a reply ...yet !!! know a couple of their album cover photos were shot on the terraces

The contra deals I think that has been the Wakey way for many a year

Think we've asked for it a few times too

Some fantastic ideas on here, why don't we get together to see how we could bring them to reality? I'm sure the club would give us a room FOC.
