Pre Season Friendlies

So we have no money, what is a good way of raising money? Home friendlies maybe? So we arrange the usual away trips to Clevedon and Chippenham. Even if you only made a profit of £2k on a home friednly then play 5 at home and that's £10k profit for the summer.

Clueless, we'll end up only playing 2 or maybe 3 home games as usual. There will be plenty of teams from the lower prem and Champ who will come down.

It is the third pre-season friendly which the Grecians have announced, in addition to the trip to Chippenham and QPR’s visit to the Park.

Can't we have some lower league friendlies closer to where the fans live rather than where Tisdale lives?!

Totally agree, we should be arranging home friendlies against decent opposition to bring much needed finance. These away friendlies bring in no revenue but risk injuries to players from non league clodhoppers. The club keeps banging on it has no cash, so stop wasting money on trips to Bristol and Wiltshire, and play games at home.

You do know that it's the reserves that will play at Chippenham and Clevedon?

They still have to get there, thus incurring the petrol costs if nothing else. Why not play them at SJP?

 

[StroudGrecian]

Why not play them at SJP?

Because we've been invited to play them at their gaffs?

I'm sure we have! So that they can make some money out of playing ECFC presumably, gate money, bar takings etc. As someone said previously, even if we make £2k from playing them at home, why not do this instead?

So we can't afford to travel to play non-league part-timers, they should travel for the honour of playing us, for nowt?
