I know it’s all hypothetical and maybe a long shot but I have been thinking about how the club can move forwards, here's my thoughts. They can’t without a very decent cup run or a rich backer coming in..both unlikely. I believe the club should bring in a young marketing/sales person, a proper post thats advertised for with the hope of getting someone creative, ambitious etc.. put them on a basic wage then offer a lucrative commission scheme say for every £1000 worth of investment they get a 5% commision. They could head an idea such as -The Alty 50 or 100- 100 local companies and firms are talked into investing £1000 or £2000 a year for the return of a few season tickets, advertising board , name printed in all programs and a deal with the Messenger where they are printed on a full colour pullout 3 times a year even offer free entry to all the firms employees for one or two chosen games. This is now starting to look a great idea for both the club and the firms that have been approached to get inlvolved. A similar scheme seems to be the way to getting substantial investment and an awful lot of people involved in the club but keeping all control within the excellent board we have now. Any thoughts?
