Myself and Deise attended the afters of the committee meeting last night. The Players were represented by Miker Kerley and Derek Whyte. We were asked for our ideas on what could be done in the present crisis. We outlined:
1...Selling Tickets and Poster Campaign..immediate effect. We feel that the tickets should be sold at a reduced rate to entice people to go.
2...Opening up the Club to membership €100 per year and holding AGMs, electing a Board etc..
3...Holding a battle of Limerick Game v Fairview etc.. (Thanks LFC in exile)
4...Organising a Supporters' trust. Say €5 per week direct debited by 100 people equals €500 a week, €2,000 per month and €24,000 per annum...There is no work involved and everybody wins as Club still gets revenue from Gates and programmes.
5...Holding a Benefit night at the dogs or Dance/Race night.
We bandied these around for a while and some were taken positively(Tickets etc) others not so (Fairview game ). The old Homestead was mentioned and they all seemed surprised that it was for sale and they are now checking it out. No asset means it will be harder to get an investor on board so it looks like we need to get some sort of asset, maybe an old dog track. Deise what did I forget to mention ??
Sorry I cant be around on Sat but Will be off on Monday to do whatever is needed
