| Quote: Leyther Always "No one is talking about employing someone on an £80k salary with a £60k budget get real, we all know that budget is a pipe dream! We are talking about a few posters around the place, use the trailer that has been mentioned, get reserves in the town handing out leaflets on Saturdays, etc!
Yes I fully agree the program we have is fantastic but again this something for the established fans, they need to be targetting the town and surrounding areas!
Its fantastic that the fans are trying to help but the club also need to use these people! It's been mentioned on here that people from the club read this board so they know people want to help, why not get them all together and brainstorm ideas!'"
But to have a marketing strategy you need to dedicate someone to take care of it or it will fall apart at some point. That is another wage or wages. To print flyers and posters for each game is a £1000+. Most of our players are part time with other commitments and the others are probably doing the community stuff. Tell me if I'm wrong but did the club not recently have the players in the Spinningate Centre playing games with the kids? If you had a second job where you worked mostly in the evening and at weekends. Then were told you had to go and spend more time away from your familly and mates maybe for no pay ( i don't know if they get any thing I am just putiing a scenario together) would you be happy. The players are there to play rugby with the odd PR show if you ask me not to be used all the time for it. |

Having seen how hard and how many hours some people at our club put in I feel they need defending sometimes. Like I said before they are coming back slowly. When the stayaways come and see trys like todays, in surroundings like we have they'll be back.

You can't Matt. I thought the Barrow fans were in force too. I would say about 150. That makes 2400 Leythers. The familly is growing.

Good post mate.A lot of our players are part time which means they probabley do 40 hours a week and then give "i know give the wrong word" lots of time to leigh rl. if they give up anymore time for the club iv'e got nothing but admiration for them. |

I'll be honest the 12 o'clock kick off suits me fine. Robin Hood, Leigh v Barrow then Hare and Hounds for Wiggin-Saints and then take the mrs out for tea. Happy days.'"
Well you are right again. 2207 for the same match last season.
Word of mouth get into peoples faces about this. Leythers come to the LSV for great entertainment.
The tipping point could well be if we qualify for the NRC Final in July.  |

Also the numptie quoting 2500 avg gate at home forgets to add 2 games v biggest draws is what the figures are based on ignoring NRC games, the 2500 is of course much lower than the corresponding fixtures last year.

Next step is to promote the Catalans game now, maybe consider the barby outside if the weathers ok buy fresh burgers etc (can be frozen if rains).
Put up big Marque(sp) outside of legends bar get players in their after they've done the presentations upstairs create a MM bar style atmosphere, a band maybe or disco in the marque.
Try and get the kids wanting to come back.
