Crocs' Business Model Leaked - flawed?
I find it amazing that people on here all seem to know what's happening with the Crocs, especially Mick, who apparently lives in Melbourne. It's not all secret stuff going on, sure there are some stuff that they have to keep to themselves until things happen but we people who are helping and supporting them are kept up to date on the rest. When the NBL finally hands out the licences to all clubs, then we expect the people who are waiting will sign on or sponsor our club again. Mark, Cameron and Pat are doing a remarkable job in saving our Crocs and to the Council Committee member who leaked info to the journalist in the Bulletin, I feel is just negative to our Crocs and wanting to stir up trouble. No one can say whether we will survive next year, can anyone say that their club will be either. I look forward to the season. GO CROCS

Pie in the sky - all is not well in the land of the Croc. They were offered assistance at the TEC but this was withdrawn and they still get slugged a small fortune. Season memberships, sponsors are all down and basically the momentum from the initial support from the city has flopped. The 3 leading the new entity dont have any traction with the general public and everything is always behind closed doors. There is a really strong group of true crocs supporters trying to help, but the 3 directors haven't embraced the community ownership ethos and alienating the faithful and the fence sitters. Putting your hand out for money to stay alive is a bad start. The Business Plan is an absolute farce that can't be backed up with any fact/projection - fact is they haven't the number of foundation memberships they need, sponsors wont commit without the new NBL committing and season ticket holders wont commit if its the same old shit from last time.
Crocs will be in next season, but I don't see them being viable the season after with new teams coming in.
