Yet cost of employing gate people and the cost of staff to count the cash and then cost to bank it etc etc.greb46 wrote: ↑22 Feb 2024, 22:34 Osborne wasn't interested in the growth of the club more it's demise but there must be many possibilities of earning extra revenue.For one allowing supporters to pay at the gate rather than having to pay online.Not everyone is up to Internet Technology potentially losing a lot of extra income.
You'd only need two gates.TorquayUnited wrote: ↑22 Feb 2024, 22:40 Yet cost of employing gate people and the cost of staff to count the cash and then cost to bank it etc etc.
Ok so probably at a loss already.
Next please.

One by the family stand and one at the pop - designated as "Cash Only"
I'm sure that after todays events, there would be a few volunteers as well.
Cash could then be taken into the Gulls Nest before being banked by the person that does the banking already.....
You're making a problem when there isn't one.
Is there no end to the nonsense you post as fact? I'm sure our very own gateman can shed some light on the vast amount you seem to think he gets paid at the turnstiles. Counting cash is hardly a costly exercise, plenty of businesses do it every day and banking cash is only a challenge in rural areas. Get a grip man, extra revenue from people who either don't like/use the Internet or can't commit to going until close to kick off is a no brainer. Yet more nonsense from you. Perhaps a name change is in order for your account. I'm sure other members could suggest a more applicable one.TorquayUnited wrote: ↑22 Feb 2024, 22:40 Yet cost of employing gate people and the cost of staff to count the cash and then cost to bank it etc etc.

Wow!!!Bristol_Gull wrote: ↑22 Feb 2024, 22:50 Here are a few other quick fire ideas
- Save Our Club Crowdfunding campaign with local and national appeal. Use social media, local media, and club website to highlight the situation and encourage donations.
- Charity matches (think former players and ex-pros who support grassroots football)
- Sponsored walking football (with ex pros) - this caught my attention at AFC Bournemouth where we now live https://www.afcb.co.uk/news/club-news/c ... all-match/
- Auctions; memorabilia, gifted items from local businesses
- Exclusive / Retro merch - see above. Other desirable items could be created, including re-runs of classic kits.
- Sell naming rights to the stadium (controversial perhaps!)
- Business Partnerships - for example borrowing ideas like ‘Eat Out to Help Out’ in partnership with local restaurants who create special menus with a portion of proceeds donated to the club,
- Online 50/50 draw - go BIG! Perhaps make it an 80/20 draw in favour of the club
- NLS Fantasy Football league - get fans from across the country involved. Pay to play, % process to TUFC.
- Digital match day programme - expand reach beyond the game with a digital programme that includes wider sponsorship opportunities, purchase programme via fixed price or minimum donation. It means fans who can’t get to the game can still contribute
- Boots and Laces Mega Quiz Night - pay to play, nominal prizes for winners. Proceeds to club.
- Community fundraisers - involve the local community, schools etc to host fun fundraising activities.
- Sell out concert @ Plainmoor - put on a fundraising concert with major bands, perhaps Muse would pay homeage to their wider roots? Think Live 8 for local football!
- Run a ‘Soccer 7s’ tournament and festival - this is another HUGE one from Bournemouth based on the rugby 7s which attracts 30,000 people each year. https://www.bournemouth7s.com/
- Sell Player NFTs (current and historic) - NFTs (Non-fungible tokens) are unique digital assets and artwork and could include collectible things like player cards. Funds could go to player wages
- Collectible player cards - same idea as above using the old school method. Think those World Cup stick books that come round every 4 years. I’ve still got piles of cards from when we had 4 divisions!
- Matchday bundle - create various ticket options for example 1) ticket and a pint, 2) ticket, pint and chips 3) ticket and home shirt - ideally include items where there is already a high profit margin on the items so that discounts can still be offered to purchasers.
Well said SNW, these idiots that put obstacles in the way and have no sensible suggestions are not helping the Club.SuperNickyWroe wrote: ↑22 Feb 2024, 22:49 You'd only need two gates.

You would hope that anyone interested in the future of the club might give their time for free.TorquayUnited wrote: ↑22 Feb 2024, 22:40 Yet cost of employing gate people and the cost of staff to count the cash and then cost to bank it etc etc.
