For anyone not aware this Fri night the Under 23s play at the Shay in a play off match and it would be super if we could get a big crowd down in support.
They have been playing really well and have been geting reasonable support but if we could get a good Fax following I am sure it would lift their game tremendously.

As I understand it, we play Oldham again (who we beat last Thursday) for a place in the final against Featherstone, please correct me if I am wrong.

Is the kick off time 8 o clock?

yes its oldham again and winner going to fev and yes its a 8 pm ko,

The club don't market it well enough. Last wednesday morning, fans were asking me, when it was, how much it was, etc etc, then i had to ask the club on facebook!

If the club promoted it was by donation and what time it was..a bit before the morning of the game, i am sure more would come!

Our club is poor at marketing...its simple stuff though.

Entry is by donation, the kick-off 8pm to be confirmed by the RFL. If anyone would like to volunteer their services in a marketing capacity please call at the office.

The under 23 and the under 18 team games are by donation only, with the proceeds going to the Fax Trust.

Yes it is well worth the trip me and mine will be there so spread the word and get yourselves down to see the young lads in action.

My criticism is constructive though...sometimes it has to be said and its not against individuals its against the club as a whole..and what with our main sponsor being marketing professionals!! I don't know if they've tried it though, but how about contacting the local uni's and asking for volunteers as that way you get expertise and they get something to put on their cv. I did this as a student (not in marketing) and was seen as added value on my CV. Yep and I raised £350 in sponsorship and put in £200 at auction so i am doing my little bit and will do anymore like flyering, etc or whatever.

Good comment. For probably the last 3 seasons, FCHT have had at least a couple of Uni students from Huddersfield each season as part of the media team which has improved the website content massively.

I once contacted the club about doing some work experience in a marketing role in my Uni days, I spoke to a big fat bald bloke who told me they had no need for me, he then told me about his own expertise at marketing and how the Blue Sox brand was very innovative but he didn't want to take all the credit himself, anyone know what happened to him.....?

I think he went into advertising. I'm not sure of all the details but I know it involved stripping naked and having "Goodyear" tattooed along his body.

STOBART anyone??
