Message: [QUOTE="Number6, post: 2864742, member: 9008"] The issues with the Titans are in the DNA of the club or really lack of it. What are they? What makes them special or attractive to fans? Are they a Queensland team - colours, players and attitude say no. Do they represent their region with diehard local supporters? No Are they a fun team to watch for a family night out? Not usually. Initially had hopes for another SEQ team but at this point enjoy watching them burn themselves down repeatedly. As much as prefer a team in Perth reluctant to abandon GC to AFL. Not sure about a private consortium... last private sports team ownership on coast ended in the loss of licence. Why not open it up to members as shares with a leagues club taking a minority interest as a second revenue pool. 1000 people (especially businesses and famous Gold Coast people) paying $5000-10000 each for a 51% share overall as 'platinum members' who get discounted tickets and 'discounted advertising' to make it the people's club. The those 1000 bring their family, friends and employees and before u know it you have a full stadium of mostly fully paying customers and merch flying out the door at slightly discounted rates (vs discounted at end of season by whoever can be bothered buying it). Need to be inclusive to regions are GC for southern Brisbane and Queensland. Also find someway to make it an iconic Gold Coast experience at games for the tourists too. Change colours and branding to have more Queensland feel and start a no d***head recruitment policy even if it hurts for a couple of years and stop poaching from other Qld teams, instead focus on bringing GC locals and QLD players home from interstate or Super League. And fire Tallis and anyone else with a toxic attitude (cough Hayne). Then aim towards an exciting playing style. Hire the walker bros for attack coaches. Might not win much more but people will enjoy their games (winning is less necessary if people have fun watching them try). Even as everyone's second favourite team (lot of people like holidaying on GC) will increase channel nine exposure and start snowballing. Like a more educated plan but if they just keep doing business as usual and failing on and off the field, might as well send licence to Perth. [/QUOTE]
