There are many ideas floating about on how we can progress financially I thought a thread of it's own might help!!



Here are some of my thoughts!!!

1. A better ticketing system (there are more counterfeit tickets for sale on game days than anywhere else I've ever been, especially in the conservative club before a game, club must be losing thousands!!).



2. Bar and catering are appalling...the amount of times I have only had one drink or none because of the ridiculous ques etc is unbelievable. Sad but true game day is the only really time I get to enjoy myself...Club could be making £12 - £16 off each of me and my mates alone on game day.



3. I have 2 registered Ltd companies in the Wakefield area both with websites etc. (unfortunately, I don't have loads of money to assist the club in full) and no one has ever even contacted me regarding advertising/marketing etc...what are the business development team doing?



4. If the WTW brand is not working would re branding back to Wakefield Trinity along with a marketing campaign help? The business of sport is to entertain (I feel we have been on the field) but the backroom staff have not promoted or run the club in this manner and the ones who have not fulfilled there role should leave immediately (there are too many taking money from the club and not delivering (and I'm not referring to players, coaching staff or Mr Carter). Trim the fat not the meat!!

What about a wall of names. Get organised with a local printer and sell a plaque for £100.00.

Keep them coming. Fwiw I totally agree on tickets and will be clamping down on freebies.

To pick up on your points:



1. If there are counterfeit tickets being sold in the Conservative Club that's disgraceful. Have you reported this to the Club.



2. The bars and catering are "franchised" out. The Club don't run them or receive any profits but a fee for allowing the caterers to do it. It may however be more lucrative to run it themselves and I guess Michael Carter will be looking into that.



3. Have you thought about contacting the marketing staff yourself. I'm sure they would be delighted to hear from you and sell you some advertising/sponsorship.



4. Don't know if the Wildcats branding is working or not but I'm old school and would welcome a return to Wakefield Trinity. Not sure if some of the younger fans would agree with us though.

The lottery is the way,if the 4000.00 ST holders joined and persuaded 2 friends or family members to join.DO the sums.

Control all costs.



Transport

Printing

Salaries across the board

Cost of merchandise etc, etc



Also, do we need everything that we are paying for, if not, do without.

"The lottery is the way,if the 4000.00 ST holders joined and persuaded 2 friends or family members to join.DO the sums."

Bump

And don't forget upgrading to Platinum

We need to start in the Con Club as the previous poster said.

Or not paying for as the case seems to have been!

Do we have 400 die hard fans that would be willing to stump up £1000 for a ten year season ticket ???



Forgot to say if this idea takes off can I have ticket number 1

The decision to sell Amor is a really bad move financially for Wakefield, how many people will now not buy season tickets because of this sale, I understand he asked to leave and we would have got nothing for him next year, this decision has to be offset against the proposed season ticket sales and revenue throughout the coming year of fans wanting to see one of the best forwards in super leauge. I would imagine the end figures will not be far away from each other, but we would have kept the enthusiasm going for a while longer.



Rant over

Rather see them pay £104.00 per year to the lottery for 10 year and full price for ST.
