Bren Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 as aclub we are trying to drum up some support from all sections of the club to attend functions so we can raise money so in the future we can bild a new bar and function room and hire it out . and keep maintaining the whole place .the other thing i want to say is all those people who mone about the price of getting into grounds its what it is going to be if we go higher in the leagues then we are going to have to a put our prices up and pay more at other grounds so get alife and deal with it.

Steph Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 As a supporters owned club I would hope that the response to "going higher up the leagues" is not a knee jerk "we are going to have to put our prices up". A market economy is supposed to be run on supply and demand. In theory the higher the price demand drops. If we can keep prices low then demand should increase and our gates increase. I think this was demonstrated at the recent "non league day" when many clubs reduced prices and crowds increased. I agree that we could do with a better club room, perhaps a separate fund be established for the club room and request donations. Perhaps we need a supporters club now which has the remit to improve the ground and facilities rather than membership funds donated to which are seen to improve or maintain the team. BTW congrats to the organisers of the quiz night a most enjoyable event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkwright Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Glad you enjoyed it Steph. It was a really fun night. We've got a couple of live bands coming up on the 1st & 8th December, the ticket is £5 to see both bands. The one on the 8th is Spencers band who are rather good! Hope you can make it.

Steph not true in evey market; Lidl/Aldi/Morrisons give the other supermarkets a run for their money; Waitrose have a similat product offer; a different "experience" and charge slightly more. We have a facilty to be proud of; but if we can continue to improve it and the customer experience then we have no need to trade at the minimum price level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Lidl, Aldi are growing concerns Morrisons is treading water while other supermarkets are in decline. Seems to demonstrate market economics quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southport - TOWNER Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I'd love to be in the decline like tesco! Well every little helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 3rd October Dow Jones report. "LONDON--Tesco PLC (TSCO.LN) said Wednesday it expected the global economic environment to remain very challenging as it reported a drop in first-half net profit, dragged down by sluggish sales and the cost of a 1 billion pound ($1.61 billion) U.K. turnaround plan." You can take our club's shares if you think they are so good. But you have to pay the price we paid for them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
