Jesper Fjeldstad writes in today's Adelaide Advertiser that the Adelaide Crows are ambitiously aiming to sign 60,000 full paid members. He also writes that they are looking at non football ways to increase their football department revenue spend from a middle of the table $16,000,000 millions dollars to a top of the range $25,000,000 million dollars.
Now, the purpose of this thread is not to discuss the pros and cons of aiming to sign 60,000 members or to bad the club when they fail, but to discuss different ways the Crows can increase their non football revenue?
Jesper list 3 ways the club is investigating the potential increase and they are currently looking at buying into a Hotel that has poker machine revenue attached to them (Peter Hurley I guess will help with this), Real Estate (any apartments that get build on the AAMI Stadium precinct would be a viable investment) and buying and selling shares.
Please don't allow this to get into a slagging match between the administration, Vs Port Adelaide or just saying we are not very good. By the looks of it, they are trying and that is good enough at this point.

- HOTELS: Adelaide is a rarity in the AFL that it has no gaming revenue, and is considering the purchase of venues with poker machines
- SHARES: even though the Crows have watched nervously as other clubs have gambled and lost on the share market.
- REAL ESTATE: Adelaide will consider looking at commercial real estate, which could increase the club's growth in a quicker way than the traditional income streams.
