If you have any questions regarding the newly-formed ShrimperZone.com limited company, leave them on here and we will try to give you answers.
 
Is it true you will be taking your share options in pies and roast chicken?

Thanks

Graham
 
Have you considered adding a Donate button to the site so people can ermm donate if they see fit to do so?
 
Can we celebrate the launch of the newlimited company down at Reflex?

Actually, its probably for the best if the answer to that is a no....

We will be making a few subtle changes to the site in the coming months and may be introducing merchandising to raise funds to make the site self-funding. It is planned that we will have unobtrusive advertising as a means of income. This will all be discussed at our next board meeting.

We have no plans to charge membership fees.
 
shrimperzone t-shirts perhaps with on them

''I saw napster buy a round''

''I saw Leeboy play 90mins for SZFC''

''Uxbridge - I'd rather be watching the rugby''

or how about "I'd should really sponsor SZFC instead of SUFC" ?

On a more serious note have you thought about contacting the club with regards of possibily advertising either in the programme, perimeter boarding inside the ground etc

Matt, I think blatant advertising would be cost-prohibitive at this stage, we may try subtle ads , streakers with "www.shrimperzone.com SUFC's no1 fans site" across their bum cheeks and the like.

I'll put 'www.shrimperzone.com' on my banner when I'm at the Premier League darts next Thursday. That'll get the punters flooding in

How about a lottery syndicate that benefits the website financially...

Members of the site lay down say a £2 stake which is fixed every week (via paypal etc) which obviously means work for you mods to make that possible using this website...anyway, the money is then used to purchase as many lucky dips as possible, any winnings that result from this are then shared equally amongst the punters....

But, here is the beneficial bit for Shrimperzone Ltd...

A minimum returns cap is put in place, which is decided weekly, by the amount of punters that have parted with their hard earned...

For example say 100 members have put in their £2 for that week, then for the punters to get a decent return (im thinking £50 each) we would have to scoop £5000 for that particular week...

Any prize less than the £5000 (or £50 minimum returns cap, depending on number of entrants) goes into the Shrimperzone Ltd kitty....

Obviously you mods can decide on what you think would be a decent minimum returns cap, I was just thinking £50 would be a good figure to start at, anything less than a £50 win I personally wouldnt be that bothered about, although I wouldn't say no of course!... but the cap can be decided by a vote across this board...

Apologies if I haven't explained this idea a bit more clearly, getting ideas from my brain on to paper (or websites) isn't one of my plus points!!...

Thoughts?...
