What will having Wallace as coach mean off-field wise?
« on: August 02, 2004, 02:36:48 AM »
Will Wallace's signing automatically mean a increase in members, corporate sponsorships and crowds in 2005 or will the heartbroken Tiger faithful be cautious/cynical and wait for signs of success before jumping on board? In other words can we crack 30,000 members next year?

From a membership perspective I rekon he is worth at least 5000 members. So I think we will top 30,000 next year.

From a sponsorship prespective - I see Wallace as a wonderful sales man - the way he promoted the Dogs was sensational. It is the lower level support were he will help I reckon - the cotieries. I think between Wallace and Wright we are on a winner.

Cleary....he is a self-promoter which means he will promote our club as well. I think the mere fact Danny is gone means we will get more members and with things being a little brighter, yes a lot of external revenue will go up.

Finally looking forward to the Royal Oak next year.....going there knowing we are a chance as opposed to expeting a 10-goal loss.

If we can reach 30,000 members in 2005 (an extra 3,000 on this year) just from Wallace's appointment then that equates to roughly an extra 3000 x $140 = $420,000 in the Richmond coffers. Add the extra sponsorship and the reductions in expenditure such as the TPP reduced to 97%, etc... and we should be on our way to balancing the books again after the disasters of the last two years (and especially this year).
