So would it be better to set a price that most people can afford and sell more or go for more money per brick but sell less ?

I'd go for around the £30 mark.

I'd go with £25 a brick to allow more people to have one, and you could always buy more than one if your flush.

When we moved to KC we had the brick scheme. We have the bricks outside the West (big) stand. And there is plaques on the concorse to.

we cannot run the risk of isolating buy the brick to people with loads of spare cash.

keep them reasonabley priced and people will buy them and then if any money bags feels like splashing out they can by a dozen if they choose.

i would say no more than £20 a brick although id pay a bit more if needs be.

It will be there forever though!

My dad (who is a Cas season ticket holder) is originally from Blackpool so me and dad are both Seasiders and I bought him a brick at Bloomfield Road for £50 and wouls do so again at Cas.

Its something special so shouldnt be cheaper than a shirt worn for one season!!!!

A fair point.


There's two issues aren't there: raising funds for the stadium (however much that is needed) and getting fans to buy in to the stadium and have some sort of permanent link with it.

Maybe some sort of double-level scheme?

Buy a Brick : Sun Nov 22, 2009 11:55 am  

Is it buy a brick or sponsor a brick?
Wouldn't it be a good idea to sponsors a brick, pay a one of fee, to get the stadium up and running, then maybe an annual sum to pay for youth development or what ever the supporters feel is important.
This club would then treat the ''Brick in the Wall'' members to a seasonal Thank You event or something likewise.
Not sure what the Sums would be, maybe £50 first payment then £10 a season after that. What do you think?[b][size=12][/size][/b]

What do you do when someone doesn't pay a subsequent year (for whatever reason – including possibly the fact that they've died)? Rip the brick out of hte wall?

On another subject about the new ground at glashoughton have the club approached whoever runs the train services in this area about sponsorship at the ground?

Whenever i drive past i cant help it would be a goldmine for them, they could run 3 or 4 "specials" ever 2nd weekend, it would be a 3 minutes tops walk to the ground,then there is the facilities at xscape & junction 32 if they got here on a earlier train,no car parking to worry about etc.

You'd think the supporters of the two Hull clubs,leeds,bradford etc would use them if put on,....cause all this would depend on the ground being built ...but we have a hell of a good area to build it!

how about doing something similar to what they do in crematoriums. on each sponsored brick, you attach a plaque stating sponsored by whom ever. If said sponsor does not pay the following year or what ever, the plaque is removed and somebody else is able to sponsor that brick.
