Obviously we haven't a clue at the moment I might be wrong but I'm sure he said something about foreign supporters who probably will never get to the SOL having a connection with the club by being a member, but probably wishful thinking on his part
For the umpteenth time you don't bring it in house. You get an expert in and farm the whole of it out specialists. You then pay them and keep the rest as profit. I've farmed stuff out and had stuff farmed out to my company. As long as your communication is good it's beneficial and easy for both parties. As long as you're not asking anyone to do anything outside of their area of expertise it's a doddle.
bringing an expert in to do it is the very definition of bringing it in house.
It really isn't. It would be one person overseeing a process and the rest of the club wouldn't be heavily involved until the van turned up with the strips.
Was this not almost the model when we used Avec?
Big Belly….I admire your optimism. However there is basically fuck all chance that the club/fans connection will be ‘maintained’. What connection? You mean the patronising nonsense they push out at SC renewal time about fans ‘making the difference; or the obligatory ‘and a word on the fans’ question at the end of every in-house post match interview; or the guff coming out of the interim CEO’s mouth about ‘community’ whilst his staff enact ticketing policy that results in MLFs who have had SCs for decades put to the back of the SC waiting list. I have been to the majority of away games this year. The experience has, bar the rare exception, been pretty poor…..sterile stadiums with the same pre-match hype and bollocks, filled with gawping ‘customers’ wearing their newly purchased half-n-half scarf! I want SAFC to be successful, but not if I end up being surrounded by Korean tourists in the South Stand busy watching the match through their IPhones!
It's not hard. You work out what you think you can make doing it yourself with all the actual work outsourced. Then you get quotes off strip manufacturers. If you think you can make say £12M a season and they offer £10M you'd probably go with the guaranteed £10M in case you've got your sums wrong. If they offer £5M go it alone.
Exactly and we are regional mags are global. We will be global in 5 yr.
The old yellow peril.
And there is your conundrum.
Only in your weird mind...
the bloke in the interview now running the club was talking about how to engage with and sell shirts to people in Nashville.
I don’t disagree -I want the same folk
Indeed. When asked how much we would flog shirts for there, he said, "They'll be a tenner, see?"
With a free guitar -no strings attached
Spot on with the Mags. I couldn’t believe how ‘lame’ their away support was, especially for the FA Cup game. In my opinion all the warning signs are there that we are heading the same way as the majority of the PL clubs. I hope I am wrong but I simply disagree with those (not you) who seem content to see supporters priced out or ‘discarded’ by the club in the pursuit of success…whatever that means in reality when we are competing against state-owned clubs!
À balance marra -difficult ( why I hoped Bruce -David not Steve was still here )is needed -the players /manager /fans are aligned at mo -I ( based on absolutely nowt other than the players realise this too ?) I think we will keep our identity -kick on ànd give teams next season àn even bigger fright !
