NG32 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 He doesn't need to increase the quality of the product really though, because match day revenue is small compared to TV money. And match day revenue only fluctuates to a certain extent, because fans are very loyal. I mean more from the perspective of what I saw during the Keegan years (#1 time as manager). I was walking in Notting Hill and saw our shirts all over the place. We were on the verge of challenging as top dog in England. You can see the same with Man City today: I see their shirts here in the USA now, whereas a few years ago it was all Chelski and Manure. And more shirts = more revenue, both for NUFC and SD THis does not compute with Mike Ashley. He does not understand football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Good little analysis of our situation, with George Caulkin, on The Times The Game podcast this week, about 25 mins in. Good little discussion that, albeit brief. Tony Evans is a bit of a tit but I do like listening to him whenever the discussion is about fans and local pride.

Disco Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Just depressing that it doesn't get greater coverage. Deluded Geordies, shut up. Unfortunately despite us being backpage news often enough (rarely for owt good mind) we're just not a big enough club with enough high profile eloquent media entities to say campaign about it.

Guest Sir_Frank_Pingle Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Hey, I dont post too often on here, was a season ticket holder from 86 til a couple of years back. Now living in Netherlands I still watch as much as I can and get to a few games when home. Just on the Ashley situation, unsure if this has been suggested, but is it not an idea to try and take over his brand, much like he has with ours. ie the club. Could we not hand out flyers pre-match that contain information on holding up for 5 mins during a game. These flyers would contain a message that somehow has an effect on the sportsdirect brand in a negative yet legal light? Now Im unsure what these could be but Im sure cameras would pick up on a stadium full of people holding a message that in some smart ways, sends a message and ideally draws negativity to this sports brand. In theory we hijack his love as he has with ours. Probably a stupid late night idea, but an alternative to trying to get people to not turn up at Gallowgate.

Teasy Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Good idea, lets not fuck the clubs revenue as Ashley will only drop the spending accordingly. Instead lets use the world wide coverage we get to hit out at sports direct. Obviously this is assuming we can think of something that defies the "no such thing as bad PR" theory.
