How much more would you spend under new owners ?

Over 400 people have now completed this survey, but there are many more than 400 who have limited their spend at CAFC under Roland Duchatelet.

If you anticipate spending more money at the club under new owners please take 4 minutes to complete this survey.

Thank you

Err, so your wording here is only encouraging fans to complete the survey, if they anticipate spending more money under new owners. Invalidates the whole thing, sorry.

How does it became not valid? The whole objective is stated as follows -
'To put a figure on how much extra income a new owner might expect after a takeover.'

But what if the answer is nothing ? The survey is not including those people, if it is only encouraging participation of those planning to spend more.

You can't have a survey or vote and only ask people to complete the survey or take part in a vote, as long as they are going to give you the result you desire. It's not democratic.

Anyway, who cares, it's rather pointless. No offence intended.

It's not a vote though. It's a measure.

If an estimated increase in revenue is published as a result of the survey, the figure is likely to be rubbish.

My answer is fairly straightforward. Club acquired before 1st home game - around £1.5k; afterwards - around £0.

@coveredend There is an option to answer "No" to every question.

I think @Covered End point is that in the post @castrust wrote "If you anticipate spending more money at the club under new owners please take 4 minutes to complete this survey" as if to say if you dont anticipate spending more money dont bother doing the survey.


I would like to say I have already done the survey

Thank-you Paulie, I'm glad there's someone that understands my point.

Ha, could you imagine the referendum 2 years ago if the government advertised,

"If you anticipate voting remain please ensure that you vote."

(Implying that they don't want you to vote if you're going to vote Brexit or vice versa).

Would be a perfectly sensible approach for a second referendum imho ;-)

I think the fairest way is only ask those who want to leave to vote, and then it will be clear that those who don’t vote want to stay. Simples!

Really can't be bothered to, so many surveys, so little action.

Covered End - I'm amazed that you have missed the point of this as you usually seem to have such an unerring sense of everything CAFC.

It is a survey to try to get an estimate of how much more income new owners with the right approach could expect.

Therefore we ask people who might spend more money to try to calibrate how much.

If people are not going to spend any more money then this doesn't concern them.

What's the problem ?

Don't worry, it's not worth the effort. If we had an extra 4,000 paying £500 each includung S/T's, it gives an extra £2M revenue, which isn't a game changer and was of course what RD/Meire was referring to when he/she said we don't need the fans. IE just sell a Konsa or a Lookman, which possibly paid for all the non attendees, during RD's ownership.

Why on earth do we all bother, then, @Covered End? Nothing matters at all...

This survey will not hasten a takeover in my opinion.
