All academy and reserve home games are recorded by the club.

Wigan Bull has arranged with the Bulls to co-ordinate (sensible!) responses from his merged "Club – Fan Interaction" and this "FAO of any club officials reading!". These will be fed back to the club on a regular basis.

He is therefore a stallion of the first order

and certainly gets my thanks . . . as is the Duffmeister for working with WB from the Bulls perspective.



[size=150=red[uPLEASE[/u keep the posts sensible. It's going to be a hard enough job for WB.

[uPLEASE[/u refrain from posting "funnies" here.

[uPLEASE[/u use it as it's meant to be used and not for offering advise on topics such as, say, coaching - there are already numerous threads on that already.

This is real opportunity to get your ideas, input and suggestions to the clubs direct attention.

Good luck WB!

Aye, gonna be ruthless (as ever...). Use [url=http://viewtopic.php?t=412071&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0the gubbins thread[/url for comments on other people's posts that aren't further suggestions in themselves.

Good work Wigsy. Will get the grey matter into overdrive and put some ideas down.

what has happened to junior bulls club every month? they have organised 3 big events this year but my kids used to love going once a month.

cant be because people didnt go because it used to be packed every month.

How about some of the player's songs (as created by af) being pitched to the crowd at half time? Fans could perform their song, words on screen or in program, crowd can vote for their favourite by text (could this make some money for the club?) and then the winning song sang the next game for the player?

Something along those lines anyway!

Away kits that mean something - RAB hoops, amber with thin RB hoops, 93-94 style green, yellow and purple hoops, 91-92-style red with a RAB vee.

Price promotions on tickets - buy one, get one child's ticket half price, buy 2 get one free, etc.

Also on season tickets - free entry for a second person to Celtic, Harlequins and Cats.

Yes, I know that some of these will just be taken up by people who would be going anyway and know a season ticket holder, but this amounts to sampling. Retail manufacturers invest a lot of money in sampling products for free and when the biggest barrier to entry for people to he RL market is price it seem essential to get people through the doors for that first time / first time back. Every other in stadium game day initiative stalls if the people aren't there to see it, as it otherwise relies exclusively on word of mouth to bring people back.

Even go the whole hog and go BOGOF on the Saints Sunday home game for all home and away supporters, market the hell out of it and aim for a crowd of 16k+ thereby improving the gameday experience and increasing the chance of people coming back.


Personally I'd do a permanent buy 5 get one free all season. This might sound like a lot to buy but it's amazing how far some people will go to access an offer. The sums boil down to 6 people buying a ticket at £15 rather than £18 and could be the sort of thing that gets groups of mates who already go to games pestering oher mates to make up the numbers.

Could the club put artists impressions of the plans for the Sporting Village on display somewhere in the ground. Possibly the touchdown bar?

I think this would help create a bit of a buzz about the place and I'm interested to see what the development may look like.

Can I just suggest with regards to future fan forums, when it goes to questions from the floor, hand over a mic to the question asker so everyone can hear what's being said.

Here's a thought . . . though it's been pinched from other/earlier posts on RAB.

Given that from time to time the Bulls replace their ground flags / ground "Bulls Logo" displays and the like, couldn't the club auction these off on e-bay.

Memorabilia collectors and Bulls fans alike (especially one's in Cornwall) would love the opportunity of buying such things that adorned the Temple at Odsal.

The cost (inc. time and effort) would be minimal and it would be a cool thing for the club to do.

A photo of the item (the buyer covering postage) and a few lines of text would be all that it would take.

. . . now about one of those flags that sdorn the stnd . . .

Serious suggestion for next season. For the umpteenth time, how about a Neromania day?

Save it for the Summer mind - wearing togas, masters and slaves, Roman soldier outfits, gladiators (not that fellow from the film though, keep your hands off our Sammy!), chariot racing, a bit of vino



As they say in his home country - he's a fasta than the pasta!
