Or recruitment

The 2 main issues with recruitment are available funds and the recruiter.
Who holds the funds and therefore dictates the standard of players attracted and who selected the person with pursuing these players and convincing them to come to play for us.
In this particular case, the funds were slashed from previous years whilst the recruiter has a 25% win record as a coach which makes him apparently "highly thought of" by the person who recruited him and who holds the purse strings.
Can you see where I am going with this???

Why are you even discussing someone who is banned from Fulham football and has attacked 2 opposition RL chairman at Ealing.
He shouldn’t be allowed near a sports arena again never mind being talked up on here. He’s everything modern sport doesn’t need.

Not sure anyone would get that exercised about this iteration of the Broncos. In all seriousness what is the cut off point for number of assaults before you are banned. For a Twitter ban I understand it’s criticising the blue kit. Our club’s priorities might have got muddled here.

Back on thread I suppose a positive is although all quiet on recruitment no one has actually left the club this week so that’s a plus....although some might think not.

Before moving from a 4,000 capacity ground to a 10k one, why not fill the 4k one first?
Corporate/gold membership? Again I'll ask.....how busy is the gold lounge at plough Lane? I'd hazard a guess at pretty empty given the lack of any evidence to the contrary

I have some info regarding the York match that was shared with me.

Only the Platinum Lounge was used. Fairly full. 6 tables (seating 10) and other seating/table areas. Up to 75 people max.

Coach, two non-playing players and Guest Speaker pre game. Coach and MOM post game.

Gold Lounge not used.

Boardroom used, 6 to 8 present.

By percentage of attendance that is better than AFC Wimbledon, but after costs (food/staff) I doubt there is much profit.

I think one of your ideas, but why not offer some free tickets to hospitality to a few lucky winners who buy a ticket at the previous game. Target the locals generally who would appreciate the hospitality experience. They'll buy drinks as well!

By the time the York game was played, £35 was the offer.....£2,625. Let's say they all paid the full price which I believe was £55 at the start of the season, that's another £1,500.
£4,125 before wages, food costs etc are paid..

I did a similar calculation hence my comment on little profit. The only additional income is the bar.
