On balance: Positive : Mon Nov 10, 2014 12:31 pm  
It looks like we'll have a new kit unveiled this week and possibly get it on sale for Xmas. We're also due to unveil a new website. The club appears keen to keep us up-to-date with training via facebook/twitter. Grima and the players are making positive noises. All this is a massive step forward IMO, not only on last winter but most other off-seasons that I can remember.

I applaud all that and, as the thread title says, on balance I'm positive. That said, wouldn't it be nice to see something on season tickets/memberships?

The presentation to the new Scholarship and Academy players held last night, with parents in attendance was the most professional I have seen from the club for a long time, held at The Village Hotel, one of the club's sponsors, not a lot of the top clubs in the North even do this, well done to everyone concerned.

And a host of other commercial partnerships and sponsorships to be announced this week, I believe.

Freedom for supporters of the government, only for members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. freedom is always and exclusively for one who thinks differently.

Few things stand out:
Sponsorship has been a bit of a challenge after dropping down a league

Sponsorship was a problem long before relegation..........
so we need to look at the target audience and the way that we price the product in

This points to the club having control over pricing, at least in the "posh" seats.....can anyone confirm that this was the case last year or not? if not, then maybe the general admission revenues might be being kept by the club too....?Are we paying RENT :CURTAIN:
the club will be spending very close to the Championship salary cap of £1 million

The question is, how long will Hughes "Guilt" make him keep us professional should we not step back up in 2015?
almost halved from the average of 4,229 at the Stoop in 2006

4,860 was the 2006 average......slightly worse than halved.
we hope to at least match the crowd numbers we had last year, if not try to grow them.

This is almost as being ruthless next year on the park.....but then again, if "nothing has changed" and AK keeps the ticketing and residuals, who cares? If we are instead, now paying rent and keeping the Revenue, then I expect the club to go into overdrive trying to get the lapsed fans back.

Positive article making all the right noises though....thanks for the link Milf
