Quoted from lukeo


Why don't we need £100's?  Say there is 1 event on a week, 52 weeks of the year and on average each one ONLY makes £200... That's still £10,400 which I assume will almost be 1 member of staff paid in the club house.. Every little helps.



Somebody working in the club shop for 40 hours on the living wage will cost at least £16,000 plus the clubs NI contributions. More like half a member of staff based on your figures.  What total cost of the event is that £200 profit based on ? Would that be after tax? I'm no accountant but to clear that amount that could go to the club then the event would need to be at least £1,000. Not a great sum for these kind of events and then you have to find 52 of these events every year. I know every little helps but that is hardly going to boost the club's non-football cash flow.

Have you considered applying to join the board Rancido? Your 'can't do' attitude marks you out as just the kind of doom-mongering 'why even bother' young go-getter we like running our football club.

I'm certainly not a doom monger but I do take a practical and objective view to what is said and can be achieved. It's got nothing to do with a " can't do " attitude, more like what you can do and take that as far as you can.

Quoted from KingstonMariner
I'd be interested to see if anyone has actually done any research into the conference and events market in NEL. How much are we missing out on? It's one of those things that was always trotted out when talking of the benefits of a new stadium, but unless the extra revenue (including extra ticketsales which I assume would go up a bit) covers the cost of building, a new stadium means we'll be worse off not better off.

My suspicion is no proper research has been done on any of it.


Oh i am sure Extreme have a totally radical folder full of research on this subject helping to rubber stamp the PP development.............
which coincidentally must be nearing completion now, better get my ice stakes sharpened for the grand opening of the ice rink

There are other things that can be done.  Such as using BP to hold events such as tribute bands.  Went to a couple in Lincoln held at the Lincoln Castle over the weekend a while ago, both nights were packed.

Knowing our board they would book a Joe Dolce tribute act. At least, one of the board members will know the words to Shaddup your face.

i think a tribute act would be dearer than the genuine Joe Dolce nowadays

Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

The only "Season Ticket Initiative" we need is sign some decent players for our level this summer.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”
