Last night’s Q and A with James Bisgrove last night has opened up the entrepreneurial sprit that lurks inside hundreds of online bears.
After spelling out the options to raise the capacity of Ibrox a good number of fans reckoned that it would only take discovering two Calvin Bassey’s to transform the appearance of Ibrox.
Unfortunately that approach might also uncover a Ridvan Yilmaz, Ben Davies or Rabbi Matondo.
Other, more thoughtful bears reckon it is simply a case of tapping into the vast global fan-base, monetising the love for an 11-year-old club after fans walked away from the debts of a previous company.
Simply getting £10/week from 50,000 fans would rake it £26m to fund ground improvements- and get a capacity larger than Celtic Park. How many bears are ready to donate another £520 a year to that scheme is unknown.
A few years ago Bisgrove introduced My Gers which costs about £50 a year with bears rewarded with points towards in-demand tickets for every purchase they make through the club. Increasing that by 10 might be a hard sell.
Bringing in a 10 year Debenture Scheme for the additional seats seems to be another sure-fire winner unless they try marketing them to the fans that lost everything with their Club Deck Debentures from the nineties.
It is believed that the Management Team from the Bristol Bar are looking for fresh opportunities, CLICK HERE for the ideas flooding Follow Follow.
Some very familiar suggestions there…
Think Bishrove is ‘doing an Ange’.
With his CV, it is highly doubtful he would get a sniff at a CEO role at any
other footy club.
So, he’s taken it knowing he has an impossible job – and a finite period before the
bears chase him out of town, or Bennet throws him under the [McGill’s ?] bus. 🙂
But, then Bisgrove can sell himself to other Championship [?] clubs as a CEO.
If he can get a year out of the Ibrox gig he’ll be doing well.
Where were all these peepul in 2012 when their klub really needed them to save its life?
If they didn’t stump up then, and let the turd die, then there’s no chance of them stumping up now on the basis of bullshit and moonbeams.
No ticky no laundry as they say.
Is this the same fan base who would not spend £1 to save their old club ?
Looks like Sam Dingle and Big Benny from Crossroads have come up with some ideas about raising the funds for the rebuild of the stadium capacity.
Aye – But none of their Slippery Sams will ‘Dingle’ any money their way for the really big projects Scud…
It’s that imbecile Murray that knows that for sure !
All the klan klub have to do is take about 5 or 6 players onloan with a view to purchasing them at the end of the season by getting first dibs on the players, they then send them back to their parent club claim a couple of million quid compo for not following through on the deal get that 10% plus add ons from the next transfer fee from each player,that should cover the money to increase the capacity at the BIGOT DOME.
With their world wide fan base maybe the klan can do a fund raiser in the states.
Hasnt the Bristol Bar gone into liquidation???
