Pack Out Blundell Park

Quoted from Poojah

I thought it would be a cold day in hell that someone complained that the BP speakers are too audible, but here we are…

Too loud. Not too audible. Big distinction!

Well we are ready to compete in the new era when ever it starts.We have just given the trust ,the fans board ,a golden share only 3 clubs have done this ! Are Grimsby doing this ?

The main thing is that we shall be able to compete with the bigger clubs with wages having some sort of cap on them connected to income/sponorship. The last time there was a salary cap ( not for long i grant you ) we were top of league at Xmas and just failed to get in the championship(plus we had brennan johnson and morgan rodgers) .

Grimsby with good crowds should be able to compete in league2 on gate income its the commercial income needs boosting! We have 40 plus smaller sponsors( tiered plantinum,gold,silver and bronze) local and national companies, 1 company i checked is just a few miles from your ground!) Boxes and we have electronic round the pitch advertising! Plus we have a catering sponsorship.

This is why i say your so behind us in everything.

Putting to one side the reclusive nonce vibes our good friend David is giving off, he makes a good point re: digital pitch perimeter ad boards.

It occurred to me when watching the EFL highlights on Saturday night that we appear to be one of an increasingly small handful of clubs that don’t have these, presumably in anticipation of the increase in exposure and therefor revenue potential that next season’s Sky TV deal will bring about.

I don’t like our David on account that he’s clearly a very odd individual with some no doubt eithcally questionable “hobbies”, but he’s right in that this is indeed an area where we appear to be off the pace. By no means our biggest problem right now, but perhaps symptomatic of the work still to be done off the pitch if we are to truly catch-up on it.

It's my fault for using the L word.

I think we have more pressing issues right now than perimeter advertising boards.

You're.

Behind you in everything but spelling and grammar, it would appear.

Slightly off topic , but how the hell did Pleasure Island sponsor Scunthorpe Utd back in the day and not us ?

They were still operating with near IBM 5150's in the club  offices when the current custodians took their role so I think flashy boards 'the mod cons ' as our Dear John put it might still be a little way off .

I usually get to my seat at about 2:59 on a Saturday. Against Donny I got there a few minutes earlier and was struck by how loud the tannoy was, the decibel level of the music was madness!
