Well, well, well. Mr Seaton - we meet again. lets start a discussion. do the club need to invest in better net facilities in order to progress and attract more players to the club? Discuss with reference to Stafford Cricket Club
December 8th, 2008 at 12:00 pm
Hell0 all,
Yes the club certainly do have provide better net facilities as part of a bigger plan for development. But we need to raise money and profile. How do we do that?
December 9th, 2008 at 04:39 pm
a few suggestions to consider;
we need special offers on drinks - something that you can’t get anywhere else. thats a good way of increasing appeal to members of the general public. ‘all doubles £2 on Friday’s’ or something of that sort. Also we should consider more local bands playing as there is an absence of this type of event in most of Stafford’s bars. Bands will normally want to promote themselves and will always bring their own fans down so should be a nice little earner.
what do we think?
December 10th, 2008 at 11:09 am
Some good ideas. We could have a local band night but we have to look at the terms of our licence.
December 10th, 2008 at 12:09 pm
Rob, i see you as “promoter exceptional” ! You could be a latter day Barry Hearn ! Don’t think the drinks thing will work unless you give em away for free…but a regular band night may be a good idea !
December 10th, 2008 at 12:10 pm
Ps, In terms of nets…we’d need to raise 15K to pay for a decent facility…unfortunately with other costs and debts we’re struggling
December 11th, 2008 at 09:59 pm
ok I’ll research the band idea - Do we have a permanent replacement for Amanda yet?
December 12th, 2008 at 02:35 pm
Yes, Michael Seaton is on a 3 month trial….if he does ok…then hopefully he’ll be permanent
December 13th, 2008 at 02:00 am
Ok. well I’ve done some research and it seems that having a regular (weekly) night for showcasing local bands would be a success. How do we go about implementing it? what night would it be on? Thursdays?

I’m taking the email you sent me to management tonight…watch this space

What was the result of taking the email to management then?
December 17th, 2008 at 04:33 pm
Rob, apparantly in the past all music events have made a loss ! Therefore, the management were not too keen ! However, i have an open mind and if someone wants to take it on as a project, then i have no problem supporting it!
December 17th, 2008 at 10:50 pm
I think what Rob means is that we offer local bands a place to perform. I presume we would not pay them so we could make a profit by letting them use our facilities. The only costs I can forsee would be doormen.
December 18th, 2008 at 12:31 am
yes Chris indeed. we could offer emerging bands a place to perform who wouldn’t require paying. maybe that would work
December 18th, 2008 at 12:36 pm
Rob….i see you as the new Phil Spectre !!
December 19th, 2008 at 01:20 pm

well thanks for that ‘admin’ - consider me enlightened after that! I’d never heard of em.

Just a thought re: the club on Facebook, it may be worth creating a few events on there for club related stuff. I was going to stick one on for the beer festival but am not sure of all the facts, will consult Mr Fulton on this and add one. Re: band nights I do have a few contacts including promoters in Stafford so will have a word and see if they are interested in using the club, obviously will have to meet to discuss etc. but will get an initial thought or two from them.
