Major Trend Analysis (3) 1999 2012
Major Trend Analysis (4) LAST FIVE YEARS INCOME
Initial Findings of Trend Analysis • We have squeezed costs, except rugby • We have not driven revenue • This is not sustainable • Best case if nothing changes, no cash in five years • Most likely case, no cash in less than three years
A Sobering Thought "To that end, at the instigation of one of our committee members, Iain Maddox, a Business Development Board is being created whose aim is to enhance the size of the legacy, with the aim of generating enough finance to enable Haddington Rugby Football Club to establish itself as a Premier 1 Club. With this and hopefully a good year financially during our Centenary Year, the long term future of the club looks secure" AGM 2010
We have a great history Made by a host of great people on and off the pitch Many of whom are in the Great Clubhouse in the Sky We owe it to them to continue making this great history There is no “Do Nothing Option” Do we all agree?
Meetings with Other Clubs (1) • Lismore • Gone down the Charitable & Multi-Sports route • Their Clubhouse has broken even without rugby • Lots of use being made of it, by many groups • Much to gain in terms of gift aid, sponsoring and funding • Worthy of a separate study
Meetings with Other Clubs (2) • Preston Lodge • Sold Club and kept proceeds in a Bond to produce income • Community Centre did not work, Goth did until recession • Slashed rugby budget and were relegated twice • Now looking at getting own club again • Done all they can to cut costs, lots of similar stories • Strongly advise retaining club
Meetings with Other Clubs (3) • Selkirk • Town of same size, but in National League • Benefitted from Insurance to rebuild clubhouse • Raised £75k of their own for rebuild • Open licence with heavy use of Clubhouse • Sevens earns them around £15k • Approach to playing budget similar to us • Lots of good communications examples • Can hold a wedding and a rugby match at the same time • Good model for us to aspire to • Strongly advise having separate bars
SWOT Analysis (1) Top Three: History Place in the town Youth set-up
SWOT Analysis (2) Top Three: No Clear Plan Communications Fabric of Club “over stating the negatives”!
SWOT Analysis (3) Top Three: Clear Plan Greater use of Club Increased Community Links “Potential to be Great”
