I don’t get a holding / shielding player at this level, it’s not as if we’re playing the likes of Real United, Internacionale Town, Athletico Rovers etc
Win the ball, get it and men forward as quickly as possible, shoot whenever possible… no shots = no goals. We all know it ain’t rocket science.

Donnyfest £55 a pop

2024 Askern Music Festival Cancelled – BBC article

Formerly known as the Askern Music Festival and held on the village green of the old spa town.
The event didn’t take place last year as Doncaster Council wouldn’t issue a licence.
The previous year (2023) it took place elsewhere… with 3 hour queues at the bar and similar to leave the event.

This will be the first year it’s known as “Donnyfest”.

Looking at the acts… the word “who” leaps from my mouth. Though I’m not that much clued up on popular music these days.

We’re not a pub Rene they open 7 days a week 10+ hours a day, need heating at times ours won’t so much more profit to be made.
From what teams charge our fans for tinnies at matches never seen one below £4.50 it’s easy profit. Just the same that they could making if they opened up one or two in the ground at the moment.

Our boys wouldn’t pay that much for a tinny at home.
Away supporters are minimal and wouldn’t generate much revenue.
When are the restaurant’s opening days & hours nowadays?

Instal private boxes in the restaurant.

Convert the remaining space in the restaurant to a kids soft play centre.
Hot dog / burgers / nuggets / fish finger & chips & beans / peas would be the menú del día and served in a small tabled area.

There are loads of shops around the ground these days, women love shopping and it’d be a great place to take the kids whilst they (parents) catch up with the latest gossip with their friends.

£7 a session at Cheeky Chimps.
Extra charge for food, obviously.

Mainly bar takings in the beginning obviously a small entrance fee £10 ish and like I said start small and build up. Club can Ill afford to take many risks of which a stadium gig most of us to think is a no go.

12p profit a pint? – is it worth the effort?

Your casual pop in / out, 2 pints in an hour drinker will make you 24p

An 8 pint session drinker will tie a table up for say 4 hours and you’ll nearly make a full quid profit.

If someone nicks a couple of bog rolls then that wipes out that profit and leaves you in the excrement.

Stealing ornaments, accidental & deliberate damage / vandalism to seating, furnishings, fixtures etc and then either the ambience of the venue or your bank account is lowered.

A friend (stop laughing AWG) I went to school with has organised the annual Tribfest at Sledmete House for years. It’s his only job as he makes enough money from it to see him through the year. It’s a three day event, £82.50 per day, or £165 for all three days. As I say he’s done it for years, and it attracts around 4,000 per year, so the best of luck with attracting 10,000.

They are proposing / projecting a full house each day… 10,000 a day.

Curzon’s Match Preview

I’m amending my prediction:
Iron 2:1 Nash
[0-0 at HT]
Whitehall & Roberts
Mols for them

It seems to be the norm at this level.
However, it makes planning & building for the future difficult if you’ve aspirations of returning to the NL & then the EFL?

The BoD have stated that promotion is the target this season – but they are sending out mixed messages with these 44 week contracts.

Trust notes state that in future, the players will be on 44 week contracts (beginning of July to end April)

He’s (Whitehall) a goal scorer.
Banjo Beck isn’t.
When Whitehall & Roberts move on, who’s going to score for us?

29 goals between them so far this season I believe?

[Rene Artois]

I’d scrap appearance money.
Introduce mini league bonuses.
Each month is a mini league season.
Finish top of the mini league each month and pay each player in the squad a bonus.
Creates a team.
Under the present system those not on the pitch are ‘outsiders’.
It’s a team & squad game and there is strength in numbers.
Stupid ‘appearance money’ substitutions would be eliminated under this system.
How many times do substitutions backfire and cost points or momentum in a game.
It’s just an idea.

All for one, one for all !

The commentary dropped out a couple of times in the first half and they switched to the GTFC game in the second half.
I listened to the entire 2nd half on the Warrington feed.
They do make it hard work!

[Rene Artois]

Tuesday is our happy hour and we’ll sink our (g)nashers in Curzon.
They’ve only won 2 of their last 10 games across all competitions.
Iron 2-0 Nash
Whitehall & Roberts
Att: 3,456

[Rene Artois]

The first three points in the bank.
