commercial potential

[box2box]

are we maximising all commercial opportunities at safc currently? in the tough economic climate the club and supporters find ourselves in are sponsorships deals ie shirt deals being maximised, control over catering arrangements etc

obviously on the other end of the scale but read man united recently invested in £1m worth of annual office rental in the smoke to support their commercial team, i wonder what safc's strategy is like ?

Yes I'm sure Short and Walton have totally ignored how to maximise commercial opportunities and further havent got a clue how to do it anyway.

Link to that?

I agree with the sentiment, but I'm not aware of the market place they are operating in, so not sure about potential.

I've just said in another post, but marketing and sales need to pull their fingers if we wish to push for Europe.

The concerts will bring in additional revenue mind

8000 empty seats that could be sold at a bid down auction would suggest not.

cheers for that, very interesting.

I am interested as well. Although comparing us to Man utd is unfair, but if you don't have a goal and all that.

I don#t think we have a 'brand' like man utd have

I doubt it. You just have to take a look at the pitchside advertising on the West Stand. Virtually non existent for the last 2/3 years.

You'd think Saint Niall would offer the space to local businesses for peanuts. It's not like filling empty spaces is about the money (or so he reckons).

A look at the last accounts would tell you where bums need to be kicked..........

I would imagine a game or two in Ghana etc in the summer would do wonders for potential Africa followers and sponsors.....
