Moorends are looking at it :wink:

Looking at the pre-season games wouldn't it have been better to have played some at home to gain finance, if the Keepmoat is booked take the games to Thornensians and anyother enclosed ground.

Quite agree another home game would be better at Thorne/ Brodsworth/ Athletics Track at Keepmoat or elsewhere it could have possibly served to promote the club in community if they played an amateur club if at all possible.

Possibly greater attendance could have been achieved if the forum was put on at a later time to allow people to get home from work.

Playing at Thorne would be a good option.

That's the first time in years I've seen something that resembles a workeable plan. Attendance would be poor because the distribution of information routes were broken last season and I know it's something Carl is working on alongside everything else.

The Community foundation is key, and I would say from experience those attendance targets are achievable and beatable if the charity works to its potential and I'm convinced it will now.

The Supporters trust could also go a long way to beating target figures if they gave the right style of support.

Well done and Keep building bridges Carl......

Did I ever tell you Jim Welbourn saved my dads life down the pit? He doesn't like to talk about it.

Carl was asked about playing a friendly against a local amateur club but he thought it might not be wise to pit the young lads against this type of opposition for the time being.

Couldn't make it myself due to time and distance from work. I would go to any further forums if they were a later start time.
Looks good though and sounds a sensible business plan with the finances,crowds budgeted for etc.

Also the Dons would get a cut of the match takings for the Fev and Cas games.

Reference the percentages required to make up the £250,000 required to run the Club, I have made a slight amendment (above) ...

John Scarrow quoted 20% Season Tickets but we believe this to actually be Gate Receipts as Carl Hall later indicated that the budget is for 350 Adults and 100 Children paying at the gate - with no season ticket sales included (these would be additional revenue for the Club).
