Our crowds are steadly growing, we cannot expect another 500 - 1000 over night. We are better supported than most of the other teams in the championship, and the away support at Fax and Barrow has been tremendous. No plaudits on the clubs web site about that though. Lets build on the positive's of this season, we are moving forward.
From a marketing point of view. I see very little advertising in the surrounding towns, Atherton, Golborne, Tyldlesley and Westhoughton are only a mile or two away and should be area's the club are targetting for new support.
Also the French are coming Bradshawgate and the Spinning gate should be full of banners and flags promoting the challenge cup fixture, and lets not forget the local supermarkets where thousands of folk visit every week. Advertising in the local papers needs to be increased, yes there is a match report, but you have to read it if you want to find out the next fixture. There is not stand out advert for the next game. If it is a new supporter, we need to catch there eye.
The club needs to get out and touch the public more if we are going to generate more interest in the local community. Like I started with, we are moving forward, lets focus on the positives.
