We are all Wednesday Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I think the club have done some good stuff in recent times to increase commercial revenue but sitting on the Kop today gave me an idea. When I visited Charlton away a few years ago they had people selling drinks from barrels full of ice to ensure they sold as many as possible and before there were a few on top of the usual refreshment stands it meant that if you wanted a drink you could buy one. Compare that to today when I wanted a bottle of cold pop in the hot weather and couldn’t buy one because of the queues without missing the start of the second half. Sometimes I don’t even bother at half time because of the queues and this is even worse on the Kop - sure there are plenty more like me. Should we not do something similar in order to secure another easy revenue stream? No brainier to me and surprised the club haven’t it (particularly on the Kop where the facilities are terrible). An easy win, increased revenue and improvement of the fans experience... 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiggy Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I tried to buy a soft drink before the game (about 2:40) and they had run out. So you probably saved yourself some time not joining the queue. I never buy anything in the ground. Yesterday reinforced why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juni Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Who Is the commercial manager and can he/she actually make improvements under DC. There's so many revenue opportunities the club is missing out on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac_77 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Unfortunately the commercial side of the club is an absolute joke. Driving past Hillsborough the other day I saw a rolled out piece of artificial grass, 10 or so barrels (looked like something on special offer from B&M) and a shed. Then realised this was a fanzone 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@owlstalk Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Absolutely nothing wrong with the Fanzone idea It's been needed and called for for years now and now it's here it just needs supporting It's early days but the concept of it is sound and is a huge success at other clubs and we should back it, use it, and help grow it 8 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a temporary structure thrown up to get a few quid extra out of fans. Bits of 2x4 screwed together and FANZONE cut out of plastic, which school won that competition then???? If this was sat outside NY stadium or Bramall lane we’d be having a birthday on here. They’ll be doing car boots next 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll be doing car boots next Again you're knocking it when it's brand new, working as a proof of concept (so if it works it'll no doubt get expanded/improved) and it's really poor to just attack something that our fans are already enjoying It's proving a success so far so let's keep using it, make it a success, and then the chairman might see that it's a concept that works well and invest properly in it (I'm not sure but someone said it's a 3rd party that's put this fanzone together?) They just need to grasp the bands/artists that they book need to be better. Local bands with a profile locally, and a social media reach would help bring people to the fanzone and make it busier and more of a success if they were playing rather than some bloke doing covers. Proper bands make Fanzones succeed - as seen at other clubs. Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
