Red Rebels

16 new FA considerations (this chapter is free)

Xiao Yu spent the next few days in the Butcher's Knife Stadium office, and even lived there at night because the house on Faulkner Street had been taken back.

"You are definitely the first club owner on the street in the history of football!" Walsh joked Xiao Yu like this every time he met, and then proposed whether to borrow at his house for a few days and wait to rent the house before moving. go.

Xiao Yu refused every time, because Walsh was also married, and there was a three-year-old child. The family of three was very welcoming. He was unwilling to be an electric light bulb that disturbed people's lives.

But it's also good to live in the stadium office, at least it's much more convenient.

The newly formed clubs are really busy, and basically they have to be finalized by Xiao Yu.

The warm-up match has been finalized. The first warm-up match is Droysten, and the time is scheduled for July 8. At that time, Droysten was training for two and a half weeks, so David Pace was in After talking with the team coach over the phone, they decided to accept New Manchester United's invitation.

The venue of the game is at the Butcher's Knives Stadium. At that time, all the ticket income will be owned by Droglesdon. New Manchester United will not take any money.

This is Xiao Yu's decision in return for David Pace's support for New Manchester United.

The second warm-up match is also in the Manchester area. The opponent is the Leif RMI team. Since Droysten will also hold a warm-up match, New Manchester United will rush away to challenge the opponent.

In addition, there are three other warm-up games, the opponents are basically low-level teams near Manchester, New Manchester United are all away combat, and the home team will pay New Manchester United a ticket share.

Don't think that the low-level team's ticket income is not high, but in fact, for an amateur team, it is definitely rich.

Take the Butcher's Knives Stadium, for example, it can accommodate up to 3,000 fans, but in fact the stadium can arrange 4,000 tickets, each selling for £ 5, which is £ 20,000.

Of course, in the low-level amateur leagues, no team has ever been full at home, whether it is a warm-up match or a regular league, even the FA Cup coming from the Premier League team, so Xiao Yu and others originally also I didn't expect the first warm-up match to be full, and they thought it would be good to have a ticket income of 10,000 pounds.

But actually?

On the second day of the club's announcement, just one day, more than 400 tickets for the first warm-up match were sold. Even David Pace felt such an incredible sales result because the Butcher's Knives Stadium is located in the suburbs and many purchases The fans of the tickets live in urban areas, that is to say, at least three hundred fans must have made a special trip to drive to support them.

"Maybe this warm-up match will be the first time in the Butcher's Knife Stadium to fill the audience!" David Pace said with emotion.

He is both a loyal Manchester United and the boss of Droisten, so he is now jealous and happy.

"This is just the beginning, not necessarily all year round." Xiao Yu smiled humblely.

"How much do you sell for season tickets?" David Pace asked with concern.

"More than three hundred, how about you?" Walsh replied casually.

Just then a call came in, so he walked over to answer the call.

Pace shook his head sadly. The club he has run for so many years is not as good as a new club just set up. This frustration is really a blow.

"We only sold less than 50 season tickets!" In the end, the head coach of Drouydon answered with a grin.

"It's okay, it's okay, haven't you just just begun?" Xiao Yu was embarrassed for a while, but he also secretly decided that if the ticket income was really ideal, he would have to pay David a maintenance fee for the stadium. Pace, after all, people refuse to collect rental fees, and maintenance costs are inevitable.

"By the way, is this our jersey design for the new season?" Xiao Yu pointed at several artwork brought by Pace and shifted the topic.

"Ah, yes, this is the style I asked the company's designers to design for you. Look at it!" Pace opened the seal of the artwork, took out a few design drawings from it, and spread it out.

New Manchester United ’s home jersey design adhering to the spirit of the Red Devils, using red color as the main color. From the appearance, it is very close to this year ’s Manchester United home jersey. The most prominent is the zipper collar. The left side of the zipper is the New Manchester United logo. , On the right is the logo of jersey sponsor David Pace Clothing Company. The zipper should be the chest sponsor of the jersey, but because New Manchester United could not find the chest sponsor, it was unnecessary.

They have already copied a Manchester United club, and they also want their jerseys. It ’s ... not kind!

"David, I think this style should be changed and the color also changed! It is mainly too close to the Manchester United home jersey." Xiao Yu shook her head and smiled bitterly.

Pace nodded, "Well, what do you want to change, you say!"

"Zip-up collars are indeed very popular. It is said that Manchester United's jerseys are selling well now, but I don't think this kind of jerseys are comfortable to wear. I suggest using a circular collar. The collar can be made in other colors. The two pull wires are directly connected to the collar. I think the two pull wires are best for one green and one gold. "

"Green Gold Army?" Pace immediately understood what Xiao Yu meant.

Green and gold are Manchester United's predecessor Newton Heath's jersey color, so many people also call Manchester United the Green Gold Army, but later Manchester United's jersey design gradually abandoned these two traditional colors and changed to red.

"Yes, I think the material used in our jerseys should be a bit retro, and I hope everyone who sees this jersey will remember our Newton Heath!"

Speaking of it, Xiao Yu outlined the style of the jersey he wanted in his own mind, and finally he came up with a brilliant idea.

"The jersey is red, the ball pants are made of pure white, green and gold for the lines on both sides. The material used is preferably mesh, of course, it is not okay. Then put the New Manchester United logo on the left, and your company name In the same place as the main sponsor. "

"We?" David Pace was surprised.

"Yes, David, you have helped us a lot, both lend us the stadium and take charge of our jerseys. You are our main sponsor. I think that no matter how hard we try, there is no way to find one better than you. Better sponsor! "Xiao Yu said sincerely.

"But ..." David Pace was a little flattered.

"No, but David, if you don't accept it, you don't have to do that jersey!" Xiao Yu said it on the spot.

Hesitating for a moment, Pace shook his head helplessly and pointed at Xiao Yu. She wanted to say some words of gratitude, but she felt that she was too out of sight, and finally she still had a look in her eyes.

"Well, if there is nothing, then I will go back first. At that time, I will let the designer change it according to your requirements, and then bring it to you for confirmation, and then produce it immediately!"

After that, David Pace left.

As soon as his forefoot left, Walsh came out of his back, his brows locked.

"What's wrong, Andy?" Xiao Yu looked at him, thinking that something had happened.

Walsh sat down in front of Xiao Yu and handed out a notice from the FA, "The FA has taken into account the special circumstances of the Northwest Division B this year, so it has decided to adjust the first opener and let us face it away. Lick CSOB. "

"Why? Haven't they all been arranged before, did we fight at home?" Xiao Yu was a little surprised.

"That's right, but our current season ticket sales should be able to sell about 800, do you know? Even many professional clubs in the C level may not be able to sell so much, so the FA has to consider us Whether our opponent ’s stadium has that ability to play against us. "

Xiao Yu was a little distressed. He never expected that in the amateur league, it would become too much trouble to be too popular with the fans. This was a strange thing he had never heard before.

"If this is the case, then you have to negotiate with the FA, but do n’t schedule our home game at the same time as the home game of Drouyden, otherwise, I really do n’t know What to do in time. "Xiao Yu could only smile bitterly in the end.

Can the FA arrange for him to refuse?

However, sharing a stadium with other clubs is indeed a big trouble. Just look at AC Milan and Inter Milan, but if you want to build a stadium by yourself, it is not realistic.

At least for the current Xiao Yu, it is absolutely unrealistic, because he doesn't have that much money!

"Yeah, that's why I just talked to the FA for so long. I was afraid of such a conflict. But really, Xiao Yu, I really don't think it is a way to rent a butcher's knife stadium for a long time."

"I also know, but for us, for the time being, there is only one way to rent. I think we should first look at the situation of the stadium this year, and then pay more attention to whether there is a vacant stadium nearby. To find an opportunity, we still have to rent a completely for us Stadiums, or stadiums that do not conflict with our playing time. "

"Well," Walsh felt the same way. Sharing a stadium with others was too much trouble.

Then I took out some of the jersey design styles that Pace had just brought over and discussed with Walsh. Walsh also agreed with Xiao Yu's previous design, and felt that it was really easy to add green and gold, plus retro fabrics. Resonate with fans.

The two then discussed the logo of the New Manchester United club.

This was designed by Walsh in the bar by a group of members of the Red Rebels brainstorming. The shield in the middle symbolizes the spirit of the Red Rebels to defend the soul. The surface of the shield is divided into two layers. The top is the same as the Manchester United logo. Sailing boats, representing Manchester's port trading city, are the same red and yellow stripes as Manchester United's earliest previous team logo, representing nobility.

Although this is a brainstorming takeover, Xiao Yu still feels that the team logo design is too simple. Whenever there is an opportunity, he must find someone to design it again, preferably under the premise of retaining the tradition of Newton Heath. Add some modern colors.

When the team logo was determined, it was time for Xiao Yu to agree with Messi. 2k novel reading network
