9x WSM finalist! Member 662, 3372 posts	Post Edited: 02.12.2009 @ 11:58 AM by terryhollands I would pay up to 30quid, if the contest was well run and had good athletes! I personally think the way to get big crowds that pay the money is to get Mariusz and Zydrunas in the comp. The lituainians and poles seem to turn up in droves to come and see their top guys! As for the training day thing! people pay £25 per hour to get coached by some idiot who has no clue. I agree with Mark on this one, people would pay to get coached by top guys. Most of the people that would pay wouldn't really be competing strongmen I don't think though! Also would I pay £150 to train with Zydrunas for the day, Damn right I would!

technical retard Member 172, 36827 posts SQ 310, BP 205, DL 335 850.0 kgs @ 108kgs UnEq	terryhollands said:IMost of the people that would pay wouldn't really be competing strongmen I don't think though! That was my point though, surely that would be your biggest target market? Most competing SM know they can train with elite (or close to) level strongman for free anyway I have trained with Felix and his crew The Cowdreys & Woods train with Terry Carl trains with Rob etc etc

I agree. What I said was £120-£150 is unrealistic for one day with a pro. Especially if in a group. No doubt people would pay a sensible price for a great experience.

Nah I'm gonna have to get back to you on that one I mean strongman is such a technical sport that you never stop learning. So learning and being inspired by international calibre athletes seems like money well spent. Of course you could have a hour with your local high street solicitor who is quite happy to cream your £150 + VAT per hour, while you moan about the size of your neighbours Leylandii hedge. I merely use that as an example because if we don't value the top guys in our sport, how can we expect the wider public to give two hoots? A lot of the top brit guys do give their time free, training, judging, lending kit etc etc .... the mistake is taking it for granted
