Rugby do an incredible job raising cash. I believe they do auctions for sponsor a player and raise £20 k plus per season from this! They seem to have a more sustainable infrastructure and Crarey seems to be doing wonders along with his support staff. They team seems to have a lot of fight at the moment and 1999 at last home game shows promise. It's not impossible for us to do this with the right people.northscaler wrote: ↑Mon Feb 19, 2018 5:36 pm The rugby have the right people in place and don't rely solely on family members with no experience in football to try and run the club.
The sponsor nights the rugby do are fantastic.

We need someone on minimum wage who take over Emma's role and work on intricate ways of bringing cash on. Being savy and thinking outside the box. Doesn't sound easy but it would be a great stepping stone to bigger things for some onenorthscaler wrote: ↑Mon Feb 19, 2018 5:36 pm The rugby have the right people in place and don't rely solely on family members with no experience in football to try and run the club.

Th difference is the football is owned and run by one person who runs it as a autocracyyack wrote: ↑Mon Feb 19, 2018 6:26 pmyack wrote: ↑Mon Feb 19, 2018 6:12 pm Rugby do an incredible job raising cash.

Just a serious question. Do rugby players have an agent? They are leeches that are taking money out of football. Another nail in Association football's coffin even at our level.northscaler wrote: ↑Mon Feb 19, 2018 5:36 pm The rugby have the right people in place and don't rely solely on family members with no experience in football to try and run the club.

Quite happy to have people to do jobs but not really involving them in the club strategy or decision making.
The Rugby have involved the community and are working towards the one goal .
Not seen many promises they just actually get on and do things.

One thing I hear about is that they sell pies and you can pay a bit extra and watch behind glass screens in VIP. So theres an extra 100 or so straight awayJonty wrote: ↑Mon Feb 19, 2018 8:28 pm That was a great crowd there. It would be interesting to hear the views of fans who watch both teams about the respective match day experience at Craven Park/ Holker Street, things we could do better, things we are better at. One thing you can’t do at the football (any football match) is have a drink on the terraces whilst watching the game. A ruling which is surely overdue a review.

Well there are hundreds of pages hereabouts on what has happened to our club; there is a general malaise due to broken promises compounded with our traditional apathy and an underperforming and uninterested playing staff. Whether we have turned a corner remains to be seen and a 'battle for survival' might generate a bit of interest in the coming months.Andycoops wrote: ↑Mon Feb 19, 2018 5:00 pm This is going to come across as very negative but what’s happening to our club compared to the rugby. Their connection with the town is massive. Sponsored links on social media, commercial people in place, volunteers and a new supporters trust. Any idiot can see its working but we seem content just to go through the motions in a serial decline on all fronts.
