I get the feeling that TS only listens to his wife and his son. The depth of experience that he has chosen to ignore ( for whatever reason ) is incredible.8

There must be a pretty quick pay back given the size of the roofs. Would have though it would generate a meaningful short to medium term saving.
Then Stick a load of car chargers in our car park. TS could then recoup significant cost by charging fans/players to charge their cars when parked there (do it at a reasonable rate slightly less than it would cost at home as it is all profit if you have generated the power yourself) = even quicker pay back.
He could even rent it out during the week when it would otherwise be under utilised.
Landlords are doing this on offices and the like already, so the economics must work.
Plus businesses will be taxed more on their carbon emissions in future years through sustainable taxonomy so it would be future proofing us from that too.
Of course, not owning The Valley is not ideal but I still think the pay back would work.3 -

Take the example of a local authority lease. The council lets a building to a business, which for argument’s sake is a cafe. The council has no interest in what the business calls the cafe or what title it gives to parts of the building to facilitate its use.1 -

So is the Valley getting a sponsor, or is this something someone has gone off on a tangent about?0

This. Dumbarton left Boghead in 2000 (after 121 years there) and moved to a new ground beside Dumbarton Rock. We have had seven different stadium sponsors since then but to this day you'll hear people say "are you going to Boghead on Saturday?"

Perhaps baseless was a bit strong but until we hear it's an actual possibility it's not really that big a deal compared to the things that actually are happening IMO.0 -
Crewe’s Ice Cream Van Stand takes a lot of beating imho.2

DubaiCAFC said:Personally, I am not fussed about the cost-cutting (apart from people losing jobs), clearly the club can't continue to run the way it is.. Fans also need to an element of responbility.. If we are not going to go to games, the budget is only going to get smaller.. I understand club needs to excite us to go to matches.. But I believe this could be one of our better seasons, our identity and style of play has changed hugely, to a positive exciting way of playing!
I know I am supporting from afar, but I still can't get over how poor our crowd was for the QPR match.. If I was sitting in TS shoes, I would be like, F*&K them, if they can't support the club, why should I keep putting my hand in my pocket!
Time to stop with negitivity, and get back to supporting the team again.. It is going to be a good season!3 -

I commented because the repeated assertion that it can’t happen because RD owns the ground is nonsense in my opinion. It hasn’t happened because no one wants to pay enough to interest the club. So it’s a hypothetical discussion, like much else on here (see also transfer gossip). But the substantive point is that it’s an option open to the club’s owner and not the landlord.

UEAAddick said:The key aim to get new fans is doing it by not pissing off your core support. Duchatalet and Meire did this and Sandgaard has been doing it as well although in a less offensive way and more ignorant one. Its no surprise one failed and one is failing.
So the aim is to appeal to everyone. Its a tough thing to do, but with proper planning and research over time you can. I honestly think we just need to follow simple steps of "Plan, Risk Assess, Do, Review". With Sandgaard at the moment it's "Do, Do, Do".
I work in a Museum and although they are far more diverse than a lot of people think they are, the biggest group of people less likely to visit museums are 18-25 year olds. They may be more likely to go for internships and jobs in the field, but in terms of general visiting they are the lowest. Its interesting to find why, but what you do is you work out Why That Might Be?, What We Can Do To Change That?, How We Can Change That?, What Are The Risks Involved?, Let's Pilot Some Ideas?
In other words, Plan, Risk Assess, Do, Review.
Just by thinking about things a bit more and not rushing from one failed idea to another I think we would be better off. That requires listening to people though and Sandgaard thinks he doesn't need to.
