Is this the way forward

Over here every football team and rugby league team has its own club that provides huge funds for the team..They have 3 or 4 bars in the club fruit machines and restaraunts. The brocos have a huge club about 10 minutes from the stadium and have around 20000 members, be them fans or just locals paying about 10 quid a year membership.On top of that they get revenue from the fruit machines and also from food and also function rooms.The money made at the club provides funds for the playing side of things. they also provide busses to get the fans to the ground on match days..Also over here you dont pay for transport to get to the game as the price is included in your ticket price (10 quid by the way to get in).The club also has a coutesy coach that takes you home at night 7 days a week (free).It cateers for young and old and if placed in the right area could be something teams in England could make good money from.

If the club was placed within a 20 mile radius of the ground in say Hillingdon it would have a community of thousands that even if not football fans would join.Also a cheap night out rather than paying 3.20 a pint would appeal to families.Cheap food aswell..Also somewhere that has a few function rooms that could do weddings all year round aswell as other functions throughout the week brining in revenue all year round..Its an idea that has not been tried before and one that does work as its brining in millions over here.
