Quote: Czech Bull "What a load of rubbish! Fans should have to ask if there are any ticket offers??? The idea of offers is that they are advertised in the hope that fans take up the offer, a good half season ticket offer may entice more fans who might not attend matches otherwise. '"
Fookin hell, might it? Astonishing. Hang on ... you don't suppose that, er, that's the precise reason why they did it?
You suggested that anyone who is looking for offers should ask! I was pointing out that these offers need to be correctly advertised so that people that might not be actively looking notice these offers, simple really.
The club have two of my email addresses, from pledging and being a season ticket holder for many years, up until this year. I never get any emails at all from the club to either email address, no offers or anything. I wonder how many more people are the same, it seems quite a lot.
I was suggesting Facebook, Twitter, forums, email drop etc as free marketing ideas, not necessarily relating to this one offer. A few weeks ago the club offered the discount on clothing after full time, something hardly anyone knew about, causing a lot of bad feeling, great marketing. People have also mentioned that there was a half season ticket available before the season started, which a lot of people also didn't know about. There is nothing stopping someone from the club having a private account and posting a link to offers when they are available on here and other forums, this offer may have been mentioned on here, but clearly many other haven't.
Do I feel silly for pointing out where the club is failing? No, no I don't.
