BIG D Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 As unlikely that it is that we would miss a chance to make a few bob (not a lot in the grand scheme of things I know) but I haven't see any advertising anywhere? The Riverside Cafe is all over it, shouldn't Wednesday be? Outside bar just under the main entrance? Perhaps it isn't worth the hassle? I'll be popping in anyway.

Ever the pessimist Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Said in jest when it was confirmed Tramlines was moving to Hillsborough Park that the Tap would probably choose that week for painting and decorating! Can't say I would be surprised if we miss this opportunity for 3 solid days of high revenue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean like recently there was a world cup on that was live on normal tv and not one of the local clubs though we could hire a big scream, sell tickets at a £5 and beer at £4 a pint and make a killing with 7 games in 6 weeks. Watching the game in a football stadium would have given it a different feel and atmosphere and we could have easily got thousands each game as we progressed this figure would have risen and how many beers does the average person drink in 90 minutes plus of football anywhere from 3 to 7 pints, other than the hire of a big screen tv and a few stewards what would have been the cost to the club and on beer sales alone they would have made us thousands. But didn't do it so the local pubs got all the profit instead and the ones near me were packed for every game not just the England games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far better watching it in the pub, what the club would pay in policing probably wouldn't make it worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the places on tv in Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle, Croydon didn't do it out of the goodness of their heart. They saw a way to make some money and also watch the footy. This is not a snipe at the Owls no one did it locally until the semi final and now the local council want a parade for losing in the semi-final.

Tbf you wouldn’t get thousands turning up to pay £4 a pint and £5 entrance when you can just go to boozer who have happy hours running through matches at World Cup etc. Way cheaper and better atmosphere.

But once you have everyone in the ground, you can kind of charge more than every where else. Look at when you go to the arena for a show £4,50 for a pint of watery fosters, you would not buy it but you don't have a chose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Wednesday were Man Utd and the hotel - bar backers were multi millionaires with guaranteed customers in the bar 365 days per year. Yeah, it could have been but the budget and setting is a bit more modest. At least the Tap has the better quality beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds Newcastle etc were council venues and yes they did it out of the goodness of their council budgets. Others like Croydon were commercial efforts like asheffield Walkabout and Leadmill. Which of the 92 football clubs put it on? It didn't make any commercial sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when you are struggling the way we are financial with FFP we need to start thinking out of the box, for ways to generate additional revenue as clearly with only 2 players leaving so far, getting the squad drainers of the books is not proving easy. I was reading yesterday that when some of the cricket clubs lost test cricket and the revenue they organised pop concerts at the stadium to cover the lost income, maybe an idea for us but with Tramlines highly unlikely. But with no big pre season friendlies we seem to have missed the boat again. I also see inter Milan are bring a full strength team to play the Blades, how nice it would have been for that to be us. I see nothing came from the Adbi to Grasshopper Zurich rumour, the Fletcher to Greece rumour. Both would have been great for us instead we will continue to pay them a fortune to watch the games from the stands for another season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree beer is better but the decor could have been as hotel Football rather than a function room with a few pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look just looking at many ways for the club to increase revenue and maybe help out with the FFP issue. If attending a few games at Hillsborough paying £5 and beer there for the England games, helps us avoid issues with FFP, then I would happily forgo my favourate chair in the local. Add a few more ideas and they could soon start adding up. Man Utd have the rugby league at their ground in the summer when its not being used for football presumably to bring revenue in, its just trying to thing of new things instead of pinning it all on expensive tickets and merchandise for the fans.

Nice idea but I think thats all it is. But keep coming up with the suggestions, you might save the club yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
