Don't think I've ever come across a hygiene rating as low as that. I'd never heard of the place until yesterday. I wonder if Snowie has read your post. It would seem that he's a huge fan.

One above shut down! However as I say that was from 2018 so I’m sure they are better now.

Small numbers in increases can make a difference, an increase of 150 on memberships is about £40k. When it comes down to it that could be the difference of keeping hold of quality players, or even adding that extra bit of quality

You’d need to take VAT out of that

yes I did and was quite suprised at that rating, I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan of mullys rather than I enjoy carribean food and looks like I've lived to tell the tale.
i'd no concerns at the time and if I fancied having a take away now don't think it would put me off, I've had worse at some higher rated take aways

Still £34k ish which is pretty good.
I'm sure they'd prefer more but as said, any increase will make a difference to a club our size.

Assuming all full paying adults that never came to a game? Otherwise you are just robbing Peter to pay Paul surely? What you get in cash now you give up later in the year?

So which would you say was best.
ST up front or same amount paying on gate?

I know the money is more later but the money upfront helps cash flow.

There must be a sweet spot.
I think MC has talked about this before. Clearly it would be great to have 10k St holders as it helps budget correctly but 2K ST with a regular 8k crowd would be nicer I reckon.

My apologies Redwhiteandblue. Checking on the Leeds MDC website the M62 is the boundary all the way from the River Calder at Whitwood until just before Lofthouse when it veers off to cross the A61 at the top of Lofthouse Hill before heading back to the M62. I don't understand that. The boundary used to be at Lee Moor Beck meaning that the whole of Lofthouse was in Leeds. Anyway you're right they are in Leeds not Wakey though their postal address is Wakefield and they have a WF postcode as does Carlton, Robin Hood and Rothwell Haigh which were all formerly in Rothwell UDC.

No apology needed mate the boundary is right where Mulleys is or thereabouts. A bit annoying it's Leeds as the Halfway House in Robin Hood is the halfway point between Leeds and Wakey!

My point was that unless they were new fans it wouldn’t create EXTRA cash for this ‘new’ player and not would it generate 40k after taking account of vat.

Oh I see what you mean. I didn't get that sorry.
Which brings us back to the marketing and stadium and winning something discussion.
It's hard getting new fans to come and even harder to get them to keep coming.

Well, what with all this, I have to say I'm glad I live in South Yorkshire.........

Hold on a minute BG your gladness could be short lived. I have family history connections with the small town of Goldthorpe in the Dearne Valley. The town has a postal address and telephone code for ROTHERHAM; it has a SHEFFIELD post code; they pay council tax to BARNSLEY and historical links with DONCASTER. And you think we're confusing
