Quote: Kiyan "While Salford lacks a centre, what it does have lots of is smallish festivals, fun/ family days etc May - September.
I had suggested to Vickers ( which he said was happening, but didn't) was to buy a decent sized side opening trailer, get it professionally wrapped, add a decent LCD TV showing some highlights and big hits and get Mitsubishi to lend us a decent 4x4.
Get it to the festivals with some Academy players talking to people about RL, flyers for the next game, run some competitions to get contact details, have some merchandise and tickets to sell! You could prob even find some volunteers to help for a free top. ( Eg Irlam live is coming up soon, with a decent line up, but I bet the club will miss the opportunity to engage directly with thousands on their doorstep who actually pay to go to events and have some disposable income)
Apart from the festivals get it to media city, the Lowry etc and places outside Salford occassionally and on match days use it as a club shop at the stadium.
My guess is it could be done well for a one off £20-30k which a decent opportunity to get get Raging Bull, Mitsubishi and the Lowry to chip in.'"
You can have all the advertising you want it goes out the window, when you get there and see a load of tripe.
