Mal glad to help where I can you know that but I am disappointed that driving past the ground today the next match board still shows Donny!
I think the club need to stop being so defensive I was just giving you gentle nudge, like Linda has said why not email all fans on your database with a flyer and ask if they can put it up at work or in their local pub or shop?

Where's our marketing man that went to Australia to pick up all their current best practices and ways of working?
Fans above are coming out with great suggestions but the club should be co-ordinating this really-here's a few more suggestions:
Social Media
Schools
Local junior rugby clubs
E-mail to fans on data base
Cashfax/lottery customers
Local pubs and clubs
Local shops
Banner advertising in prominent places-roundabouts or like the one tagged onto punch bowl wallside
Leaflet distribution
Local radio competition for free tickets
Local bus external advertsing
etc.

Bit late in the day now to do all the above for Sunday which is disappointing. Have we got a strategy plan at Fax when it comes to marketing the club brand etc.? Do they need some help? There will be plenty of people with all sorts of skills out there- just needs co-ordinating.

I did'nt know that John, but if the club staff can't be bothered to walk 100 yards to put one up , what do they expect fans to do?

To be honest the issue of the Shay notice board not being up to date has been going on for a few years and it's probably the place people look to see who is on next.
I firmly believe having a local paper once a week has massively hit both teams' promotional ability as you no longer have the ability to build the excitement.

Totally agree Norman Bates but that's the way it is and we have to come up with a plan B to market the club and forthcoming games etc. Losing too many fans to simply think social media is the only solution.

I know it's a home game to widnes and we are expected to flock like pigeons to grain, but it no longer happens in fax.

Warrington are away to hull kr, free coaches to hull and only £12 a ticket. It's hard to beat don't you think.

All off season it's been dreadfully quiet and continues to be so, regardless of any issues when Calland was here the crowds increased. Marketing guru joins and we have gone downhill. Leaflets won't work, schools don't really work to be honest as parents just get letters home or kids that want to go, kids want everything and as parents we have to say NO, especially when it's £30 + food and drink for a few hours. Or some toy for £20 and longer enjoyment. It's a very difficult situation.

We have all seen things go viral on Facebook, with the share this post and you will be entered into a draw for a iPhone etc. these work!!!. Hundreds of thousands of likes and on your Facebook wall. Give away a season ticket to 1 fan if you reach £10,000 likes and it will spread locally expenencially.( bad spelling, sorry).

I got an e-mail today and will be booking 2 dining tickets for Sunday, hope to see lots of happy faces!

I have had a season ticket for the South stand for the last 15years or so and have only ever received a handful of e-mails in that time. I guess because I'm a season ticket holder they just presume that I will attend home games but a bit of advertising never goes a miss!

What's all this about putting a banner on't Punch Bowl. We have literally got a football fields length of free advertising space on Skircoat Road passed by thousands of people daily. Put up a LARGE advertising billboard there. It's not really rocket science or indeed expensive. Percy's, Yeastie Boys Tea Leaf IPA 6. 5 % Mmm!

Mmm

You need planning permission!!

How hard would that be? The council own the land! There's already a half-hearted advertising board there.
