No Live Radio At Grundy Games

[artiefeelgood]

If I was the visiting broadcaster, I would call the game from the stands via telephone and tell that old man coach...who cares, your team is awful.

If no radio makes a better gate, why not? The true football fan will go to the game. If not having a radio broadcast gets an extra 25 it is a good thing. Some persons will never be able to attend because of work, health, etc, but for the true fan the gate is the lively hood of their sport and I am sure they would sacrifice a live broadcast for a better field for the kids. I am a Grundy fan and go to every game. If for some unseen reason I could not make it to the game I would want to hear it live on the radio, but if the decision is made in the interest of attendance (gate Money) not to air these games I understand, wouldn't any real fan.

 

After reading some of these posts it is easy to see the difference between a true fan and a wanna be.

 

Del, it was very appropriate to notify other teams of the policy here.

I'm going to have to agree with those who believe that a live radio broadcast has very little if anything to do with the size of the gate. In fact, I believe that live radio broadcasts actually increase the size of the gate. It's all about promotion. Grundy's policy is severely outdated and research has proven that the more you put a product out there, if its a good product, the more people will buy it.

 

Look at Tullahoma as an example. There are two stations that broadcast every home and away game. Yet each week hundreds of folks follow the Wildcats wherever they play. During home games that place is always packed. When Franklin County visits there are four stations broadcasting the games. Yet there are still 6000 fans.

 

You see if teams are competitive they will draw the fans regardless of the broadcast.

Live radio has no effect on the gate at a high school game. In fact, a lot of people go to the game and take their walkman and listen to the broadcast.

Del, unfortunately your system of rules regarding the broadcast media are antequated. Might want to get your coach to see the light about the effect that radio has on a gate.

Not my place. I'm not his boss. Not a battle I care to engage in.

Yeah, and I need a lap dance, too!! Only us high-tech-red-necks can appreciate and operate these complicated pieces of equipment. Didn't you read the sign outside the pressbox, NO GIRLS ALLOWED. It's our club and we don't want no distractions, or for that matter, curtains, throw pillows or rugs. Heck, if we had girls up there, we would probably have to clean up the place.
