Legends game.
I read a few weeks ago that on average, we take about £50k in gate receipts for a game?
Once the seasons finished, how about a Legends fundraiser the week after the concluding league / play off game?
Iron Claret Legends v Iron Blue Legends
12 claret legends and 12 blue legends.
6 legends play the first half for each team and the second set of 6 legends play the second half for each team.
10 fans play for the clarets and 10 fans play for the blues.
The first set of 5 fans play the first half for each team, the second set of 5 fans plays the second half for each team.
Claret team = 6 legends & 5 fans
Blue team = 6 legends & 5 fans
For £500, twenty fans get to pull on the claret & blue of Scunthorpe United FC, get changed in the changing rooms with their heroes of yesteryear and to actually play 45 minutes in a game with and against their idols!
20 x £500 = £10,000
2,000 (attendance)(a guess) x £15 = £30,000
Program, food, drinks = £20k (guess)
Sponsorship (annual Legends Trophy) = £5k (another guess)
Total revenue = £65k
If match day staff volunteered their labour, then this minimises the costs and maximises the funds raised.
Just an idea. It might be a load of tosh or it could be a good opportunity?
LT would be a perfect match-day commentator over the PA.
UTI.
Good to see that the owners / staff of the club read this forum.
A penny for your thoughts
