Oh yes, love a good marketing thread. Dont get me wrong im as p££$$d off as the next man. Actually sat with some Hudds mates at the game on Tues and it broke my heart look over at the away end, but blaming 'marketing' isnt the solution!!

Now i could be wrong but over the many long drawn out years ive been following Salford they have tried all of the suggested above and i thought it had been debated to death that the 6k at Swinton was all freebies, who buggered off cos it was too cold at half time and never returned. IIRC Golden Angels wasnt it?! It used to sicken me when people in my local takeaway had some of these tickets. Im all for us spreading the gospel and i can live with the need for some freebies but it put me in a real rage when i spend my hard cash (as do 100s of other loyal supporters) and 'fans' get in for free!!! - i know thats what us fans are supposed to do & im comfy with it most of the time but a strongly worded letter went off to the club that day.

Wardley Red i feel your pain pal (i really do!) and know your frustration but do rest assured the club does some good stuff. Like has been said above the Rock Radio promos are great. I know the station isnt everyones cup of tea (i more of a Smooth man myself ) but we obviously have a good thing going there and its just good to hear ppl talk about the Reds live on commercial radio. New website just lauched and the Pub scheme thats been talked about here are good efforts. If anything i get too much stuff in my inbox email wise, but i think the text reminders we seem to get this year are a good touch.

This kind of stuff is good too - www.reds.co.uk/trybeforeyoubuy

Ive worked in sales & marketing for over 15 years and as im a bit of a sad geek take an interest in what we do and how it compares to other sports clubs. What we do isnt world beating by no stretch of the imagination but we seem to be moving in the right direction at the moment. Really think we just need to hold our nerve and keep going. I for one would rather have a crowd of 4000 paying full whack that a crowd of 6k with 4ooo paying nowt and never coming back.

Leigh seems to be doing exactly what I suggested above ...

Can't see any reason why we can't do this on a shoe-string?

Would sit really nicely with the good schools work we already do and would begin to develop a group of kids ready for the big move.
