But you wouldn't , because it would be stupid and pointless and a waste of money

Why would Fax waste money targeting Bingley when they have the whole of Calderdale to go at?

Bingo

As you have a better understanding of that part of the country

1 IYO are you in competition with any other Championship club for fans ,corporate support and sponsorship

2 Which towns/area's would you consider as viable to market HRLC in apart from Halifax itself , and would those towns/area's be in conflict with another Championship club ?

3 Do you think working with other Championship clubs is a good idea ?

1 - Fans no, corporate support, potentialy along with sponsorship

2, The key areas are the ones on border with Bradford and Huddersfield such as Queensbury, Brighouse

3, Depends on what area?

Corporate and sponsorship is always a posssibility , that then comes down to whoever offers the best deal

So those borders with Bradford and Huddersfield would conflict with which Championship clubs ?

None

why wouldnt you?

sorry that should read, i think they can, they think they can which is why they dont want to share their approach to marketing because they both believe they can both attract people from these areas.


if they are, clearly it isnt working, but that isnt to say it cant, or wont.

Because, there are enough areas within Calderdale that need to be targeted. Is Bingley are big Rugby League area?

My suggestion is that the RFL would supply a marketing manager who would be responsible for overseeing a team [ made up of one person from each club paid for by the RFL ] of people who would work for 4/5 clubs from one area [ Fax,KeighleyBatley,Dewsbury ] marketing the games in those towns , probably concentrating on whoever was at home in any particular week [ so one week they'd do 2/3 days each at Fax,Batley , following week at Keighley/Dewsbury ] meaning every month each club would have a weeks worth of marketing done by a motivated , experienced team with the back up of a manager and shared knowledge of what works and what doesn't

so nowhere do people have the reasonable choice of supporting Halifax or another championship club?

If the purpose of the marketing is getting bodies through the gates then i think its a great idea. But clubs would still want to market themselves to sponsors etc and i think they should keep hold of this responsibility.

So either they aren't , which would suggest they cant afford to

Or they are , but are not doing it well enough or are not good enough at it

So the answer is ?

i dont see it as an either/or situation. You can do both can't you?

and once you go that way dont you have the same problem but with Batley
