We really seriously need to start charging for car parking and entering our social club yesterday was £3 for parking and £1 to go into club come on witton we are losing money we desperately need here !!!
been done before and caused massive resentment with fans
The things mentioned above are things that shouldn’t require a fee in my opinion.
Charging people to enter the social club would only encourage people to avoid going in, and I feed it would be detrimental to the efforts made by Wittoners who run the club.
We used to criticise Vics for charging to park, is that what we’ve become?
Of all the away games I’ve been to this season I don’t recall paying to get into any away social clubs and I would rather go into a local pub if that was the case (as I did yesterday). I think most away fans coming to our place would be of the same opinion. As for car parking wouldn’t people just park on the roads and streets surrounding Wincham Park if they had to pay? Bury’s ground is a bit of an exception and I would be surprised if FCUM continue the policy when they eventually get their own ground.
a definate no no, after all we are not northwich vics. it would only discourage fans from coming, so let’s hear no more of this.
Those extra charges were part of the reason i didnt go on saturday. We already have the predictions, golden goal and the bucket collection if people want to give more. Watch on a matchday how many people won’t pay £1 for a golden goal ticket! And thats a chance to win money!!
No point ripping people off, they won’t come back. Our emphasis should be supporting the on going fundraising we already have.
Good shout Madders but it’s been considered in the past and the cons outweigh the pros.
Keep coming with the ideas though. :clap
Well I spoke to a few wit toners on sat about it and they agreed with me but never mind zipppppppp
And, playing devil’s advocate slightly, therein lies the problem.
In recent months we have had a sparsely-populated christmas disco, followed by a bavarian night that got next to zero support from Wittoners (and was subsequently cancelled).
So unfortunately there will come a time when other sources of fundraising are considered.
Personally i would rather see a full room for a social function than having to pay to park, so my suggestion would be let’s ensure things like the player of the season awards night are supported, and then charging for parking never needs to be implemented.
Don’t zip. We need these ideas, some will work and some wont, but keep coming up with them!
I’ve had worse…
Find Shaun Tuck.
Shaun hides in Northwich on Saturday morning and a clue is posted on the forum. You solve the clue which leads to the next clue, and so on.
First person to solve all the clues, find Shaun and drive him to the match gets a free beer.
Not sure how to turn it into a moneymaker though mooney
Agree with Woody that its difficult enough to shift golden goal at a quid a time, I’ve been there! Also agree that we don’t want to discourage any casual fans to not attend by charging for extras like parking. It’s a good thing that we have people thinking about ideas though.
Hopefully, come the middle of May we will be looking to find the difference to fund a BSN team…
Does anyone roughly know how much more would be needed for theBSN???
I think looking at the crowds in the BSN we could survive in there, indeed looking at our crowds you could say the BSN is our level really…of course in there our crowds would go up, and in there challenging we know what we could attract! Win games, play well, challenge for things (leagues and cups) and fans will come!
IF we could go up with this wonderful team we have at present, players and everyone else, we’d be reight I’m sure!
Yes more would be needed through the gates as I bet travelling costs will be a lot more and more will have to be paid out in wages??
