Re: How are we going to help the club survive?
Won’t ask for my season ticket money back but won’t be spending anything else on things like tigers TV or new shirts etc.

Re: How are we going to help the club survive?
I'll go with not wanting any recompense as a season ticket holder and hope other measures can help too. After all we are #ONECLUB COYF
Re: How are we going to help the club survive?
For my part I'll happily put away what I would have spent on tickets during this suspension and give it to the club, to lose a club that's been a big part of my families life for generations would be heartbreaking,every little helps. #COYF

What about we ask Fulton to stop taking money out of the club whilst all this is going on? His dad never took anything in interest?

He may be the majority shareholder but the club belongs to everyone who is a fan. Without fans there is no CTRLFC. Remember IF inherited the club from his Dad with huge loans attached to it. It will outlast him if we want it to.
At times like this we all need to do our part and rally together. £1 or £100, wherever we can keep the club solvent for future generations to enjoy too.

Use the brick money? Not massive amounts but must help?

Re: How are we going to help the club survive?
I think the onus is on the club to come out and tell us what they need with a detailed and honest appraisal of our situation along with details of how they are going to adjust the operations.
Following the announcement today it looks like this is going to be a 12-16 week slog into the summer months.
For me, the club has to close retail outlets and put every item of stock online that they can and sell only via phone or digitally. This will mean they can manage staff resource better. Without having the risk of catching/giving the illness to customers.
I'd carry on producing Roar, perhaps getting involved past players, historians, current players, fans - literally anyone with a connection to do interviews etc to create digitally and to send out via post. I know this was monthly anyway but we could potentially up the editions.
Whatever way we can monetise something and do it digitally/phone/by post we should.

I think the onus is on all of us, the whole community and even other clubs to generate ideas and assist wherever we all can.HuddsTigers wrote: ↑16 Mar 2020, 21:43 I think the onus is on the club to come out and tell us what they need with a detailed and honest appraisal of our situation along with details of how they are going to adjust the operations.

Tiger Tv has a huge role to play for me; I’d be making sure we have the bandwidth and library available right now; it’s quite aan easy way to bring some monies in.
Classic games every Sunday, with Skype broadcasts of players who took part in the game, all kinds of things, text chat section for all people watching the game etc. £5 this weekend to watch the 94 regal trophy final and build up rounds highlights. Heavily advertised on the website.
Meeting organised and all clubs attended, chaired by Eamonn McManus with the chief subject being how to financially stabilise clubs during this period. Vital.
This might kill the bloody game. It makes me angry because all we need to do is ask over 60’s to self isolate should rhey wish, alongside folks with issues already. Everyone else can and will take the hit.
It’s like bloody war of the worlds.
I’d be tempted to actually GIVE people the illness, town by town...

Re: How are we going to help the club survive?
It's a huge risk and those with kids and younger people still have to go and work in the NHS, wider health and social care, emergency services, retail, manufacturing etc, all that can spread to those demographics you mention, even self isolated.
You are right regarding TIGERSTV. It has to be the centre of our operations too. I'd be working with sponsors to get promotional clips for them ahead of videos like we already do for a couple.

Legally the club is nearly completely owned by Ian and Janet Fulton.HuddsTigers wrote: ↑16 Mar 2020, 21:34He may be the majority shareholder but the club belongs to everyone who is a fan.

They have increased their share holdings dramatically.
Jack's loan agreement accrued interest at 2.5‰
above the base interest rate. This is now being paid.
The loan is a huge millstone around the clubs neck and is payable should anything unfortunate happens to Ian or Janet

Re: How are we going to help the club survive?
Having just watched the bbc news I will be amazed if we see any rugby this side of June. If that is the case, we may have no game to come back to at all. Every single rugby league club is in jeopardy and I can’t unfortunately see any light at the end of the tunnel. What an utterly depressing time we are living in. This situation is going to need all rugby league communities coming together for the good of the wider game. How we can do this? I have absolutely no idea.
Re: How are we going to help the club survive?
It’s hard to come together when we have to stay apart
Re: How are we going to help the club survive?
The only way forward as I see it is to scrap the loop fixtures and the Magic Weekend, treat the present situation as an off-season and resume fixtures after some rescheduling in early August hopefully with League matches finishing in December. The Challenge Cup might need to be scrapped for this season or played in successive weeks as a precursor to the 2021 season which might have to start as late as April with a similar reduced fixture list of 22 fixtures. It’s not ideal, especially for Championship and League One clubs, but we got through the Second World War with Emergency Leagues. In the meantime we need the help of Sky Sports as other sports are affected and only Premier League clubs would be unaffected as much by the loss of income. Sky Sports would also be in trouble without matches to televise, so it would need to telelevise previous matches to survive, so perhaps in the case of Rugby League they could create a pool of finance to be distributed amongst ALL Rugby League clubs to help the sport survive. There would still however be the problem of players’ contracts to sort out. But for all sport this is an unprecedented situation in peacetime.

Starting in June gives us time to play a shortened season where teams play each other twice.daytona wrote: ↑16 Mar 2020, 23:54 Having just watched the bbc news I will be amazed if we see any rugby this side of June.

No loop fixtures. No Challenge Cup.
Each team loses three home games. ALL gate receipts from the remaining games should be split equally between the 12 teams. This should include any play-off ticket sales and the Grand Final. In this way, no clubs should be disproportionately affected.

Subscribe to Tiger TV, it's about £50 for the year, if the majority of households ( Cas fans ). subscribe, it would be a welcome income,.Mysterio wrote: ↑16 Mar 2020, 12:15 Yes. Survive.
The ramifications of the suspension of the season will push lots of clubs including ours to the very edge of administration if you ask me!
Clubs like Salford, Hull KR, us, we’re going to have to think of things FAST.
TIGERS TV CLASSIC GAMES EVERY SUNDAY £5 each is my shout. For now.
You get all the gamed from 2017 onwards, the academy games and the womans games, plus interviews, You can cancel it at anytime and get a massive fix of RL .
Re: How are we going to help the club survive?
Without the Fultons we wouldn't have a club, we would have folded years ago, we couldn't just slip into admin like the Bulls and Waky, because we have an asset what would cover the debt, that would be sold to pay the creditors, and the death nail for the TigersHuddsTigers wrote: ↑16 Mar 2020, 21:34He may be the majority shareholder but the club belongs to everyone who is a fan.

Re: How are we going to help the club survive?
We should be rallying round next few months rarther than having another pop at people I agree with the people that say Tigers Tv should play a crucial role in the shutdown which I see lasting for months

Re: How are we going to help the club survive?
And I think we should all stop thinking about how to complete the season.
Right now, our one and only concern is how to keep ALL clubs afloat.
