As a community, we must all become more involved and have more of a say in how our clubs are designed and run. Melbourne Victory may be a success story, but our clubs are failing us because the club has no community attachment and no personal sense of belonging.
The FFA is always looking for wealthy individuals to invest in the expansion and survival of football in Australia and NZ.
What I propose is related to all clubs, including Melbourne Victory, but I will use Don Matheson’s NQFC as an example, for they are the latest casualty.
The story you have all heard is that Don Matheson wants out as he is bleeding 40k per week keeping the Fury alive.
If Matheson is prepared to stick his neck on the line in order for us to have a successful Townsville club, then I am prepared to bleed from my pocket with him.
We are now in this together.
I propose $1000 to buy a share in NQFC.
In return I want:
* a position on the board of directors.
* a say in club logo, colours, and away strips
* to know the financial viability of a marquee player
* a know which marquees and players are in consideration
* access to the budget, financial reports and future forecast
* my voice to be heard
In today’s age, we don’t even have to come into work to do this. We can do this from home.
We need 1000 local investors that want to invest in an Australian Football Club.
NQFC competes Nationally in the Hyundai A-League, with the possible riches of Asian Champions League and the Club World Cup.
One million dollars will secure a position on the board of directors. As shareholders, we now have a voice as to the direction of our club.
Now that I am living my dream of owning my own football club, I am also running a business.
How else can I contribute to make my businesses a success?
I will offer to drop advertising material and promotions every week to every household in my neighbourhood, as will the other 999 community board members in their neighbourhood.
Keeping my community informed about all NQFC news, activity, functions and match day promotions.
Good ol’ fashioned advertising delivered personally to every household of Townsville.
I will offer to put posters informing my local football club of NQ match day; I will support my local bar, takeaway shop, café, mechanic and hairdresser.
In return, I want promotional material be displayed in their shop front window. I can also arrange several key players to attend my local football clubs training night to have a lite run and meet the lads.
I will arrange that all the other divisions and age groups are not neglected.
Am I not engaging in my community?
It’s time we work together. Executives, players and community are responsible for a successful club and if the club bleeds money, then we all take the fall.
It is time we feel a part of something bigger instead of relying on the corporate leaders for the answers.
