Nothing personal against the outgoing Peter Jones who I know was active in our survival fight but I do hope whoever replaces him is going to be a lot more proactive in marketing the club in order to take advantage of commercial activities.
Tonight Donny Rovers play Sheffield Wednesday and I will be going to support my grandson whose U9 team have been invited to do mascot/flag waving duties. When I say invited I mean Donny contacted the club to offer them a package for £14.
For that they get a stadium tour, meet Darren Ferguson&/or a few players, an hour's coaching with one of their Community Coaches,(saves on scouting!) wave flags as teams come out and take penalties at half time. About 20 kids are going along with their parents & other family members such as myself who will be adding their tenners to their coffers.
I know it's not a huge amount in the greater scheme of things but it will add up to a tidy sum at the end of the season. The club go on about extra revenue lows but don't appear to be doing much to extend them whilst we wait for the Mayflower 2020 stand to open.
(Donny have also sold 3,500 tkts to Owls fans which is also a welcome boost to finances I imagine)
