TORY BOY- MY BLUEPRINT FOR THE FUTURE
IT'S TIME FOR CHANGE
Lets see new and dynamic modern thinking taking Bristol City forward . So as a fellow investor I am offering this sound advice coming from a true business perspective and untouched by romantic woolly sentiment towards our brand.
CHANGE THE NAME
Every dynamic company rebrands itself to stimulate sales. So lets rename Bristol City Football Club ASHTON GATE STADIUM LIMITED once and for all to give out a clear message to fellow investors that this is a forceful business and will be ran as such.
REDUCE THE CAPACITY AND CHARGE MORE
It is clear that the price increases this season of up to 40% have yielded a profitable return. Brand loyalty has been tested here and consumers will pay more. Time to sweat this revenue stream for all it is worth and the market can withstand significant increase of at least another 50% per season ticket unit.. Pay on the day sales or tickets bought in advance should cease in order to force fans to pay for inflation busting priced season tickets.
The business would become more profitable by downsizing capacity by shutting the Micra Wedlock stand except for away support, closing the Bristol Evening Post Dolman stand and the Blackthorn Atyeo stand. Once this exciting but necessary step has been completed ASHTON GATE STADIUM LIMITED would reap the desired monetary dividends. Pay on the day would no longer exist, employee numbers would be dramatically slashed, costly maintenance of stands no longer needed, fixed overheads reduced, lavish savings made and AGSL could get on with the more lucrative business of bringing season ticket prices in line with other leisure pound competitors like Arsenal for our core customer base.
Smaller Gates, higher prices but more revenue is the future!
MOVE ASHTON GATE STADIUM LIMITED
Its time to move our thrusting business away from its current base surrounded by South Bristol slums and the lower classes. There is land close to Leigh Delamare Service Station in Wiltshire close to the M4. This site is on green belt land and is a site of scientific interest home to Great Crested Newts, rare species of fauna and flora, an animal sanctuary, Ancient Roman burial grounds and local Farming peasant dwellings but a sweetener to Giles who is on Wiltshire's County Council Planning Policy Environmental Services Department will allow the business to re locate.
This site will have excellent transport links to the M4 as our new target market will drive up to the state of the art four thousand seater stadium and any who rely on public transport obviously can't afford AGSL anyway. Relocation to this state of the art facility will see four stands full of beige corporate hospitality boxes, casinos, debenture lounges, Five star restaurants, Sushi Bars, Cinemas, Tie Racks, Starbucks Coffee houses, saunas, solariums, Squash Courts, Driving ranges with professional coaches, the largest beige corporate conference facilities in the South west, five thousand metres of exhibition floor space and one thousand beige luxury padded seats in each Executive class stand.
LET THEM EAT CAKE
Our competitor Arsenal F.C have a club motto Victoria Concordia Crescit (victory comes from harmony) and adopting the phrase LET THEM EAT CAKE will define the business's direction. For too long lower social classes have meddled in attempts to rebrand the club and even an attempt to change the business's traditional badge for a more upwardly mobile, dynamic and modern logo was prevented . LET THEM EAT CAKE will underline our policy with new prices, base relocation and rebranding to the blue collar Consumers football is for Corporates not Communities unless you can pay for it and this is the way it is and the way it is going to be.
UP THE CITY LET THEM EAT CAKE
