Re: Fevs new stadium : Thu Jul 26, 2012 12:18 pm
I agree, I would have a stall in ponty market - but who man's this and again at what cost? We do have a stall at ponty and it's manned by volunteers and so far has been very successful - but unless someone is to be paid for doing it everyweek I can't see how that would work. There would have to be a sufficient market to make a stall viable every week. I'm not sure there is.Now the bit about the SL fan having nowt to convince him to watch fev.
I would suggest that any big wakey/cas/leeds fan will always remain a big wakey/cas/leeds fan. There never will be owt to get them to watch Fev or Fax unless their club doesn't have a game that week then they might choose to come and watch the champions, cup finalists, european champs etc..... they get the "get in cheap with your season ticket offer" too. What other incentive do you think could help???
The shirts issue is always a tough one. They are very expensive to produce/purchase and so the club has to estimate how many people want and usually take pre-booked orders with a number left over to shift. In the past the club has been left with smaller/kids sizes on their hands at a big cost to the club. Getting the ordering correct so the club makes on the deal and doesn't have to sell goods cheap/at a loss is difficult. When margins are so tight do you have any other answers on that one?
