Subject: Personal Message from Matt Calland



Hi there



Hopefully by now you will have read that I have signed a new Two year contract that I’ve been offered by the Club. I’m really pleased that the Club has so much faith in me and I’m happy to pledge myself to the Fax for the next couple of years.



Obviously this is a big commitment from both me and the Club, but both of us see the future as very bright at Halifax . The stadium will be finished in time for the start of next season, we have a really good scholarship up and running under Colin Smith and Martin Gonzalez, the team is playing well so far and we shall hopefully be in the running for silver ware this time.



You may have also seen that the Club are starting “The Road to Super League” campaign now, giving ourselves plenty of time to achieve all the other requirements on which the RFL insist.



The biggest part of getting the Club fit for Super League will fall on Martin Hall and myself, and that’s getting a team fit for purpose. We have the basis of a good squad right now, but as every team that’s been promoted recently has found out, it’s a really big step up from the Championship to Super League.



If we are to apply for Super League and get in, we’ll need to strengthen the team. I reckon we’ll need around 5/6 new players, and I’d really like to start to assemble that squad over the next couple of seasons, but that obviously costs money!



And there’s really only a couple of ways we can raise that money. Obviously more sponsorships, but that’s going to be difficult over the next 12 months given the economic climate. . . .so that leaves us either trying to increase the crowds at home games or trying to increase our lottery sales.



So I’m appealing to you as a Fax fan. . .if you’re not already a member of Cashfax might you think about spending a £1 a week? . . . or better than that could you collect from your mates at work. . as an agent you’d get great commission and you don’t have to do all this by yourself. Richard in the lottery office will help recruit your workmates as members for you.



We’ll need 150 new members for each new player I can sign. . . It seems that less than 20% of our season ticket holder are members. If they all signed up I’d be able to sign all the players I want. . or perhaps there’s someone in your family or neighbourhood who might join. . .you’ve a much better chance of winning than on the National Lottery.



I’ve now committed myself to Fax for the next two years, over the next couple of weeks you’ll see that a lot of the players too will be as committed. . so what about you? Are you committed to taking Fax into Super League? If so please get behind us and help me build a team that you’ll be proud of.



You can join the lottery by ringing Richard on 01422 342792, or he’ll be around the South stand area on Sunday looking for recruits. Hopefully you might be one.



Cheers





Matt Calland

Yeah I got that too..


I was thinking whilst reading it, why not send it to the courier as an open letter so that it might reach those people that are not on the mailing list? My thinking is that the people on the mailing list will predominantly be part of the cashfax, season ticket holder etc so it's like we had before of already telling the people that are already involved whereas the letter in the paper might reach out that bit further.

it states that less than 20% of season ticket holders are part of Cashfax so there could be another 800ish if they all joined

Yes but I would have thought most of the mailing list make up that 20%.. icon_wink.gif

how about someone from the club contacts the 800 season ticket holders by telephone, explain the purpose of the exercise/get them to buy in and then send round the cashfax collectors with the direct debit forms, sign them up there and then, bring the form back to the club to process - how hard can this be?

I had a phone call from Andrew Perry a few weeks ago asking me to join. I said yes and that someone would call to collect the money as an agent was in my area but as yet no-one has been.

Can we set up a directc debit?

Hi C Cup

The answer is no but you can set up a Standing Order - at least that was all when I signed up when it first started. It's the same for the Gold Club too, so why not join them both like I have?

I'm going to join too, i am on the mailing list but probably never joined because i was still a student last time it was mentioned to me...which was a couple of years ago!

I have spoken to the club and they are sending me out forms...i said to send a few extras so I can try and convince a few work mates, no reason why every1 wouldn't be able to do this, at the end of the day a lot of people play the lottery and although its obviously much smaller prizes, theres a lot more chance of winning. Plus who will miss £1 a week?

I think I'll do just that. I'll give the club ring.

Cheers.

Only special supporters got it. icon_lol.gif


I got it so must have been mailing list.

Still believe sending it to the courier as an open letter would be a good idea to try get more people to read/see it
