Wait till you find out that most back boxes are metal and that some cables are run in metal conduit and trunking … not to mention that new consumer units are mostly metal too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought there was an additional share issue so that Sim has the same number of shares, but a lesser percentage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the remodeling update, did a bathroom a few years ago and grey plastic was the thing then…won’t have to remodel anything for a while now, can’t afford it either. ETA: USB’s in the bathroom…weird Edited June 11, 2023 by TxRover 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nairney Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Has anyone had a chance to have a read of this yet? I just saw a link shared, by the club on Facebook - Really great to see something like this put together. I’ve no idea how our prices compare with other clubs, but it all looks pretty clear and professional. However, I’m really surprised we’re going down the route of charging of charging for mascots. Some of the top Premier league clubs in England do this for free. The club are totally right to try and maximise all possible commercial revenues but this feels very opposed to the spirit of offering under 12s free tickets, to boost the fan base. A voluntary donation to the community foundation would have been a better option in my opinion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really simplistic, clear and provides an explanation of why it would be relevant to would be sponsors. As for the mascots, it's a tough one. It's one of these things which has gradually changed with the times. Edited June 11, 2023 by Broken Algorithms 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter was a mascot a few years ago and I don’t think she got any complimentary tickets. It wouldn’t have been much use, for us, though as we had season tickets anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always next quarter Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 The fact the mascots price is the key issue shows how much they are getting right. I've had family kids do it for free in the long distant past and it was excellent. Don't like the charging at all as it becomes out of reach for those on the lowest incomes. Would be good of they could have a third kid from the Roary Club or a charity partner. Another step to just being professional. To be impressed with this well put together but pretty standard marketing output shows how lagging we were. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
