Simmoram2024Ramsrontheup Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 As uncle Mel seems to have wrapped bubble wrap around pride park that’s one asset we can’t really use at the moment so what can we use or get rid of to generate money? close or sell off moor farm ? shut down club shop go to online bit like ASOS? Sell off players ? Stop funding or close academy at the expense of losing category status no mascots increase price of match day food and programmes shut down backyard - reduce staff ir transfer staff to the yard set up a partnership with the arena for match day parking Temporarily close of part of underused stand if we average 20-21,000 at the games = reduced need to hire stewards any other ideas ?

How about some sort of crowd funding to help pay the wages of the players and day to day running of the club. This could be online, fund raising events and even as B4 suggesta having some buckets by the ground with volunteers. Doubt it would be sustainable in the long term but in the short term it is worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already sold off shut down club shop go to online bit like ASOS? pretty much the case already, isn't it? Sell off players ? Can't until Jan Stop funding or close academy at the expense of losing category status Better to offer the youngsters to other clubs to get some compensation. Lots of interest from PL clubs for a lot of our players at all levels no mascots would this actually save any money? increase price of match day food and programmes maybe lower so more people buy them? shut down backyard - reduce staff ir transfer staff to the yard Already shut isn't it? Haven't seen it open when I've been to games this season. set up a partnership with the arena for match day parking Temporarily close of part of underused stand if we average 20-21,000 at the games = reduced need to hire stewards any other ideas ? Get an advance from the EFL for PL funding - up to £6m Advance on future transfer payments for Delap, Gordon, etc - gotta be a few £m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rammeister Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I’d attempt to drop ticket prices for various groups, to a price point that incentivise larger crowds and generate perhaps more money coming in. Clearly, there would be sensitivities with some people who have purchased season tickets, but hopefully fans would understand.

Alph Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Do Derby own Moor Farm? I thought it was rented from the council for like 100 years? Is that old news? I'm sure he said that at a breakfast tour? derby8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollycutts1982 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Let a be honest there is nothing we can do. Anything that us the fans can do and any funds we raise will be a drop in the ocean in terms of our problems. Currently £1m will have very little impact. If we wanted to raise £1m and had an attendance of 25,000 at the Reading game each fan would need to donate £40. Never going to happen. We are totally at the mercy of the administrator and reliant on a wealthy consortium coming forward. Bleak but true. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombo Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Beer is only £4.70 in the ground, which is actually quite cheap compared to some pubs where prices have lifted over a fiver. Wouldn't bother me if the prices climbed a bit in the concourse if it helped us out at all jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
