Possible extra income for the club?

[thesecondjack]

I noticed a non-league magazine recently which doesn't look all that bad, you can have a look at the past issues on their website for free (I know there was an interview with Ellis Deeney in issue 5), when I looked on their website, found that they sell physical copies to clubs at a discount, so the clubs can sell them at RRP and make a little bit for themselves. I believe it's monthly, thought it might be worth the club buying a handful and seeing if they sell or not www.thenonleague.com/

It wouldn't solve our money problems by a long shot, but as one supermarket keeps telling us, every little helps.

Every little helps indeed 

A couple of suggestions from me on the subject are:-

1. Create a 'donations' tab on the WCFC website so that small amounts can be given (by anyone) for the cause.

2. Create a collaboration with, say, Amazon so that supporters (or anyone) who use Amazon for purchases do so via an Amazon web portal linked from the WCFC web site. The process for a customer purchase works in the same way as a normal Amazon purchase except that WCFC would get a small commission on the deal.

Didn't we used to have a credit card which we made a few quid out of ?
Also I realise that someone would have to erect & remove advertising boards before & after matches, but a couple of massive banners may give us a couple of grand a year & im sure there must be some Kidderminster companies must trade in Worcecester & visa versa.
Just a thought.

Game sponsorship? - I can't remember hearing anything over the tannoy to say games are sponsored.

Player sponsorship? - nothing in the programme.

All great ideas and welcome, dont forget to contact Mike on his return from holiday and join the commercial sub-committee. Remember its not just ideas wanted but also the will and volunteers to put the plans into action.

Jane definitely says a thank you to Pinches, usually about 20ish minutes before kickoff but I'm not sure if that's just for team sponsorship, or match, or both. There's also a mention the the announcements come from the ST if I recall rightly. The website does have various sponsorship offers available: www.worcestercityfc.com/a/sponsor-the-club-for-the-201516-season-44783.html

Something novel I saw towards the start of this season on Kiddys forum is that they didn't have a match sponsor for one game, so they asked their forum if a group of them would like to be the sponsor, the offer is the same as is for us, I believe...

Main Match Sponsor: £450 + vat A buffet for 10 people or a three course meal for 8 in an executive box complete with colour TV and waitress service. A Company or personal message will be in the match day programme and your logo will be on the Club website. You can have a photo with your chosen man of the match being presented with a bottle of champagne. You will also receive 2 bottles of wine, match day programmes, carpark passes and refreshments at half-time.

So should you know 7-9 other eager city fans, £45 a head for all the above doesn't sound too bad (I assume entry to the game is covered by the price too).

As far as I'm aware, the kiddy forum did sponsor the match, I recall one comment being something like ''at least we'll get to chose a rightful man of the match''.
