Club Financial Report Released

Re: Club Financial Report Released

If it results in better value to our members, more control, etc. then I think it's a sound investment. It's certainly not the reason memberships dropped so it's hard to criticise the figure on its own.

It really depends on the reasons for the large increase in expenses. Membership is there to generate profits that can reduce our club's debt and be ploughed into our football department. As I said, if it's a once off or there are other factors which are not apparent then it may not be an issue. I just think we need some explanation as to the figures as on their own they don't suggest that the transfer of membership processing was successful (at least this year).

What do you guys think of the equalisation fund from the AFL to be paid to certain clubs just because of bad management of the money. Should clubs who manage their finances well be expected to help clubs that don't manage it well.

I think we do well considering we compete with a hand tied behind our back.
The stadium deal for clubs is a disgrace, the revenue inspired conjured up dogs breakfast they call a fixture is a joke.
Personally I don't think we should get any percentage of other teams membership revenue, however we should get equal gate receipts teams make out of their ANZAC DAYS and Friday night blockbusters.Going to wait with baited breath in a few years when some of the big boys like the pies fall of their perch and still get Friday night games.
After all we did hear that Friday nights were for teams performing well.
