Quote ="Inflatable_Armadillo"Agreed tvoc 100%, and I am not quite sure why The Teacher thinks Warrington are not just a good an example as Leeds, the initial investment and cash injection have helped them achieve success quickly yes, but they look like a long term sustainable business now to me with a huge increase in average attendance and a very nice modern ground.
I think that Wakefield could well be the next Warrington with a new and affluent owner at the helm and, because of a better demographic, they could ultimately pull in a slightly bigger average crowd than Warrington as well!'"
I can't believe you actually put all that. I know you are quite tied into Wakefield at present with the new ground sitation, but don't get carried away with soft spots.
How long have Wakefield been in the game? They have never averaged crowds as big as Warrington. That is why I don't think Warrington are a good example for what tvoc put. Warrington have always been a club with decent enough crowds, and more importantly high merchandise sales.
What a new owner would have to do with Wakefield in order to match what Warrington are is absolutely massive.
I can't tell if you really mean it or are just taking the michael with that last sentence, that Wakefield could potentially draw higher crowds than Warrington. It will never happen.
Let me repeat what I put on the other page. In order to be a succes you have to be a well run club with high income streams (from the operating of the club, not a benefactor), i.e. gate receipts, merchandise sales. Unlike Football in our game it makes diddly poop how rich your owner is. Unless of course you are a rich benefactor who is also running a club with high gate receipts and high merchandise sales.
