Insert Name Here aka The Ownership Thread

[Jeterpool]

Hunter venues would just do a new deal with the knights members club to allow access during the winter season.

So if HSG own the lease, the Jets would, theoretically, have priority. No?

Whilst the number of members is large for newy, I'd be surprised if there was not a significant drop off if a new owner came on board and didn't have cut price packages at the same prices as HSG.

This would be my fear too. However you hope that a new owner sees the benefit in keeping lower priced memberships to retain a high number of paying customers. This would be influenced by the lease they would get on the stadium, I guess. If they are getting a cut of food and beverage sales, etc, then they are more likely to keep the prices low.

It will also be interesting to see any sponsorship drop off, and a return to a competitive sponsorship environment between the two teams and what impact that would have on the jets.

Back to having no shirt sponsor again. We aren't going to be appealing because of our lack of success in recent years. Actually, since the Tinkler take-over we haven't made the finals...right?

While I would like to think there is a ready made Newcastle based alternative that the FFA has just in case, I wouldn't put it past them to follow the money, wherever that leads.

Yep. As I said earlier they have a product to protect. If the best outcoe for the product is relocation then that's how it goes. I'd still think this region has a very very strong case.

If the knights do go there own way & Tinks keeps the jets, I wonder if that means that we'll be in for another colour change to distance ourselves from them, a return to the gold or maybe embracing the E&C as our home kit with a new away.

Possibly so. No better way for Tinkler to say "I love you guys after all" and appeasing us by doing such a move while increasing merchandise sales as well.
