That sort of competition seemed to work for Kennedy, makes sense!That's the beauty of elections though, you can choose which one you want.
I'm not looking for an overthrow of the board or anything like that. The good thing about triennial elections is that any group trying to take over the board would have to do it in two subsequent years, there's less chance of an ambush. And definitely not ungrateful for the work they do (e.g. I know I'm not anywhere near as qualified!).
I just think we have had strong candidates who've contested elections in the past, and we should be looking for all the best people possible. Our confusing football club membership rules make it very difficult though.
We need to to go into debt to finish it all?! That has me a wee bit confused and a whole lot disappointedJust a reminder from last year about the costs involved in the fit-out
Yep. SameWe need to to go into debt to finish it all?! That has me a wee bit confused and a whole lot disappointed
There is actually , maybe just not at Woolooware .Yep. Same
And this time there is no “developable land” to pull us out of the doodoo if we start struggling with coin!
Really not sure why owning the stadium is a good thing unless we sell it.I didn’t get to the last AGM, but from memory we were still also going to keep a separate smaller investment fund, even while borrowing for the fit-out. The basic idea being to take bank finance while it’s available, given it’s stable and relatively cheap (e.g. compared to a pizza shop loan).
So we would have Kareela, Cronulla St, the Woolooware leagues club, stadium, and this investment fund as assets still
If we own the stadium don't we get 100% of the naming rights money?Really not sure why owning the stadium is a good thing unless we sell it.
Who is paying us to call it “Shark Park” at the moment?If we own the stadium don't we get 100% of the naming rights money?
And I reckon there would be more income sources available too.
Good point. But we've had naming deals in the past, and I'm sure the clubs counting on that income source in the future.Who is paying us to call it “Shark Park” at the moment?
We need that income stream back.Good point. But we've had naming deals in the past, and I'm sure the clubs counting on that income source in the future.
Now of course I may be totally wrong, but I suspect the club finally what's best for its future financial security.
Probably but I'm guessing it ain't cheap to maintain the ground.If we own the stadium don't we get 100% of the naming rights money?
And I reckon there would be more income sources available too.
NiceAt the time of the recent Hall of Fame announcements the following appeared on the Sharks website -
"Going forward, eligibility for the Hall of Fame requires a player to first hold Life Membership. Additionally, no player will be elevated to Immortal status unless they have previously been inducted as both a Life Member and a Hall of Fame inductee."
It is now obvious why the words Going forward were used .
