Bedford Roughyed Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 When a billionaire turns up to fund us, I will look for the protests against it... With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roughyedspud Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 See most fans think money that "should" go to us goes to Toronto...or Toulouse....or Catalan.... It's not true...they pay their own way.... Toronto are getting 7,000 attendances,let's say half of them are actually paying...gate money from 3,500 plus sponsorships,is more than enough to fund a majority full time side and push for promotion from the championship...even without a wealthy backer...and without central funding! SL clubs are worried that if they let Toronto into SL they'll bring no away fans....instead of worrying about away fans put on match day promotions!,bring a friend,half priced tickets,free under 16s......instead of whinging be proactive!

Oldham fans... so used to underfunding and low ambition that they now think that funding and ambition are 'cheating' or 'fast tracking'. Halifax aren't an expansion team, they don't receive preferential scheduling and aren't backed by a billionaire. They've been an established Champiinship side for a good while now and they have been averagjng attendances of 1000 and are in the middle 8s... which will mean great gates and extra tv cash. Halifax, Featherstone, Dewsbury and Batley have all managed regular finishes in the top half of the championship over recent years, even with clubs like Bradford, London and expansion teams in the division. There is no reason at all why an Oldham club could/should not match that status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clifford Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Ambitious leader/s at the helm is needed whether that is supporter trust led or if Chris takes a back seat new vision is required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think about that for a minute who in their right mind would buy a club with 400 fans? Without Chris we'd be in a right mess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I'll reiterate what I have said before, when the phoenix rose the supporter base was 2-3000, so over the past 20 years the attendance has dropped to 400. Take Dave out of the picture, for a moment In 2015, when we won the league what official social media presence was there, none. Dave comes following the "meetings" more to do with good luck than anything and he has improved the on line stuff no end. Imagine what a club like Leeds would pay someone dave, a small fortune. Do I see posters in the town no Do I see them anywhere no Do I see game day as an event no Do I see face painting for the kids no Do I see hundreds of kids coming to the games no Do I see half time games or crossbar challenges no What I'm saying, is that the whole thing has become stale and is on its knees. A professional club cannot and will not survive or succeed on 400 people and at least 50% of them will be season ticket holders and 80%are over 60 at a guess so the fan base is reducing year on year in any event My advice is build with the kids interact in Oldham on a face to face basis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clifford Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 It's not meant to be a pop at anyone, it's me as a fan from a boy to a man. If we carry on like we are we will simply die because the business model is not viable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
