Re: Takeover updates : Thu Oct 19, 2023 12:46 pm  
Our focus and energy must be getting back into super league at the earliest opportunity , yes the western terrace isn’t the best ,but it’s never going to be anywhere near full whilst we are in the championship , likewise the rear of the North stand , but more than adequate for the time being especially with the East stand coming on stream .For me No 1 is getting back into super league ,No 2 is getting our social media platforms /web site up out of the dark ages . The ground is more than adequate for the next season or so as it stands ,in fact it’s the best I’ve seen it . Long term there is still plenty to work on ground wise ,but pretty pointless if we’re languishing in the lower tables with poor crowds .

Remember 'getting back into Super League isn't just about winning the GF. That's just part of it.
The media and fan base and finances will be a bigger part of that that the league position.
But winning GF would help a lot.

Agreed , but the ground at present is more than adequate enough to see us through this sabbatical we find ourselves in ,and imo there are more pressing matters in the short term at least for the club to focus its energies on

Top six 2005 - Trinity.

Re: Takeover updates : Thu Oct 19, 2023 1:20 pm  
For me it’s simple.

You invest in your quick wins that give you points.

I think LED advertising boards were mentioned (0.125 points I think). These would get guaranteed points, add to match day experience and bring in extra revenue for advertisement/sponsors. There would be some level of payback over a term. This is a quick win.

Ultimately the above is worth more than spending 500k face lifting the west stand.

Also, the new stand would hold 2500, the flats about 200 at a guess and the upper lower north maybe 2000?

Some away fans are allocated seating in the new stand, I would have the rest going into half of the north stand (closest to west) and not even open up the west side at all unless for big expected gates or if ticket sales demand.

You have to be smart with these things.

Look through the criteria and pick out some easy quick wins through infrastructure first then look at your other aspects like engagement etc.

Me personally I would sit with the criteria and 20 x coffees and have 3 categories for short/medium/long term and prioritise relevant points into these along with expected costs and payback associated.

Any extra points for quick wins will offset and shortfalls in other areas also.

It’s a big undertaking and project taking on trinity and getting them to superleague but if done smartly Is definitely achievable.

Why can't we have a fans forum via the clubs website instead of here? Wouldn't this mean instead of RL fans getting hits our own media platform would?

I'm sure I log onto this site maybe 30 to 50 times per week.

Where are you putting the cameras then?

Just a simple gantry is all you would need, till a new stand could be built to incorporate something more permanent Also let's face it, we won't need cameras that much, if at all next season. In fact thanks to the brilliant IMG we may not get back into SL and will never need a gantry

It didn't last very long last time. Too many morons posting.

It's impossible for the club to fully police an official forum.

I'm rolling my eyes just to be clear.
You are not going to see anything good about IMG are you but in my opinion IMG is absolutely our best chance

We need to get our own recordings for every game located back over that side. Who knows what streaming opportunities may arise during the season too. Even Wakefield AFC might benefit from some transmitted visual output.
