New beginnings - 25% Truth, 80% Bollocks

[Quagmire]

Amazes me the people that moan about stuff like this.

No one has a gun to your head saying you must pay and go. If it’s not for you, that’s fine, just no reason to make a song and dance about it.

[tans]

yep, agreed. These guys seem pretty popular and I can see a fair few fans going for it. Parents getting it for their kids for Christmas/Birthday presents etc perhaps?

I suppose it's no different to Crouchfest or something like that.

Under the Cosih is £23 and Crouchfest is £35 - plus they have to pay for a venue too.

How much is hospitality nowadays?

[Dr Pierre Chang]

Depends on the package I think, pretty sure I read in the region of £80 and £110 upwards per match

I listened to the Jamie Russell interview earlier on the Tom Broadbent podcast. It was pretty interesting and Jamie speaks very well. The Karachi academy thing still appears to be very much happening, but I assume Zav has stepped away from that.

because of something said on the pod, or personal opinion as he's 'stepped away'

People do really feel the need to criticise everything at the club at the moment. There are a lot of things that aren't right but making a song and a dance about this isn't necessary. It's expensive yes, but so are a lot of things in the world at the moment. As you rightly say, nobody is forcing anyone to pay it and go.

Fair play to OSC last night stepping in to correct people that it is their event that is charging the £5 for charity and not the club

Sorry, that was a bit ambiguous what I said Batch. My opinion really, with all the bad publicity and open questions by fans about Zav I'd just assume that they would have moved him away from any projects that the club have. I've no idea if that's accurate or not however, it was just when Jamie said about the Karachi academy it got the old grey matter going, that was all.

that was clear from the email

edit: wait, do you mean the club will hold their own fans forum?

[Dr Pierre Chang]

I’m not sure the ‘kit room’ proceeds will be going to the club either, they’ll be directed to the podcast surely

[Bogus Dave]

I doubt it - it’s employees of the club using club facilities to run club related events and shows. Imagine the club will take the earnings

Finding innovative ways to increase Revenue is precisely what the club should be doing.  You don't compete with teams like Wrexham by invoking some sort of 1880's fair play rules.  We can knock them all we like, but they are going to bring in probably x3 the amount any other team does in this league - and yes, they have some star power to help them and back them up even further, but they've done a good job of showing just how useless most clubs are at making money.  Outside the top league, where the entire league as a brand sort of does a lot of he heavy lifting, we've all sat lower down here bemoaning our bad luck to be so poor rather than doing much about it.

And a polite reminder to the masses, it would seem the the owner or custodian of the club isn’t trousering everything that comes into it either.

Club taking percentage of it...
