Re: Coleman fan concern
perhaps isolating this messageboard has had a bearing on things to some degree?

Re: Coleman fan concern
The increasing amount of press surrounding our financial situation is a bit too ominous for my liking.
I hope it's all just because news on businesses being hard up is the popular thing to report these days, and not a signal of serious troubles for the club in the offing. |

Re: Coleman fan concern
Not a good day, historically, for this sort of news to be breaking.
Beware the sixth of March!

Re: Coleman fan concern
Isn't this the same song we've heard before?
"Give us some money, but I'm not going to give up any of my control" I couldn't see it working when it was said before and I can't see how anything has changed now. The club must be in a dire financial situation. How can it not be?

Re: Coleman fan concern
who is going to put in £300,000 to be a director ? Eric might aswell sell the club to a younger buisnessman who has better ideas or at the least listening to the fans.
1033 fans = less than 1/5th of the 'disputed' capacity. If they gave free tickets to all the schools in hyndburn and say 1400 turn up = increased attendance, better atmosphere and if they all bought a drink say thats £1400 towards wages that they dont see now. Helps keep intrest within the club and hopefully generate a few more fans. |

Helps keep intrest within the club and hopefully generate a few more fans. Whilst sounds a nice idea, However draw backs!! 1) School children can only buy "soft drinks". The only place you can buy a "club soft drink" is the Buy the House Lounge. Capacity 180ish, already used for kids club, sponsors etc. You wouldn't fit too many more people in. 2) Food + drink on the ground (excluding the beer huts) is franchised. ASFC get a fee only. Extra takings go to those that run them. However no risk to ASFC. Take Tuesday night, all the cooked food was given away by the owners. 3) 1400 kids would take an awful lot of stewarding!! How many regular paying customers would be truly happy to have their match day interupted by 1400 free children, possibly not really watching the game???  Trust me I'm all for incentive's to bring in "new blood", however there has to be a balance and a purpose to everything!! |
