Couple of Questions

Post by fozzovmurton » Wed Jun 27, 2012 6:12 pm

To start with, I would like to say thanks for the work put in so far, done a great job even if there has been some hiccups along the way, I got a couple of questions

1. When it comes to the running of the club, do we have a base in Darlo for this purpose or are we going to be based at Heritage Park or the board just work from home?

2. Membersbip Schemes...I remember when I was a kid, I used to watch Sunderland they had what I think was called The Gold Card Membership for about 20 quid(about 40 Notes today), would we ever set something like that up or is that specifically what the CIC is for

3. Is there still a few Volunteering opportunities, I am interested in helping, although I am going to attend games next season, I would give some time to help, say:-

In the bar(before and after the match and at half time).
Stewarding.
Turnstile Operator.
Hell I would love to be a mascot if and when we decide if we want one or not in future.
Manning a club shop or ticket office for a few hours a week...

So if anything is needed then please PM me...

Keep up the good work guys

Fozzo, The CIC membership is "the" membership as far as I am aware - and the online shop has some sort of loyalty scheme going too.

Would be great to see a mascot doing the turnstiles by the way, kids would love it :thumbup:

I was thinking about a mascot as a way of attracting kids, they do love it, I think it is because they are part of something and it may bring kids back week after week

Good idea all round.
Might be worth asking folk for ideas about new mascots.
A mascot which chucks sweeties into the crowd will be very popular - though they would be intended for the kids :D
Kids might turn up just for that!

PS: You weren't Darlo Dog were you?

No, but I did show an interest in being the Mascot in 2010/11, I think there was some kind of competition for kids going on to come up with and design a new mascot for that season...

And the thing with a Mascot it doesn't have to be restricted to matchdays only, the mascot can be a link between club, community and schools, using the mascot to build up relationships with the local schools, also building up a relationship with local Radio Stations and going out on Radio Roadshows...There is probably lots of potential different ways a mascot used and utilised

We all work from our own homes/offices. There is no intention to hire office space in Darlington, and the office at Heritage Park will only be available for us on matchdays.
