It would be good for the club to get Robbie out and about Leigh when he comes ,if they do get premises in Leigh he could sell some merchandise on 1st day and sign them.

I agree totally.

Even though I'm as peed off as I was last night, realistically we have always needed to plan for the next 5 years, top to bottom.

That will be a better grounding than having a boom season next year and then stamping our feet when the inevitable happens and we dont get a 2012 franchise.

we also could do with letting kids pensioners and disabled in free or give them a free season ticket,that,ll get bums on the seats

not sure about this. same as them disabled parking bays right at the front of all super markets. i would make these just for people with mercs, porshes, 4x4s because obviously they have more money and will buy more stuff.

Yes and no

We really do have an opportunity before us here , But it needs to be thought out properly

We will lose some fans because of the quality of our opposition , that is inevitable , some will not be happy to pay to see us ' hopefully ' batter teams with big scores

But there are people out there who dont care who the opposition is , and would be very happy and most of all impressed with big wins

7/8/9 yr olds dont care who we beat

The club must approach the council with the intention of the council sponsoring the East stand to cover the stewarding costs , giving the club the ability to put families in that stand for free

Families only , no kids , no entry

No bar , to dissuade regular fans trying to get in for free

All tickets given out via organisations , schools , sports clubs , scouts and the like

Try to get sponsors to cover either free or cheap refreshments and ' give aways ' , provide other stuff like the stilt walkers and face painting

Make it a real family day with pre and post match stuff

Try to ensure that nobody gets in more than twice

And most important , explain it to the fans we already have , why we are doing it and the long term benifits of it and the importance of their continued support ' financially ' of the club

If that means giving out flyers on the turnstiles then do it

That's the only bit I disagree with - would sell dirt cheap season tickets for that stand (again, no kids, no entry) as I think people will grow used to the environment and would have a bit of a culture shock if going in to the North Stand after a couple of games.

Tricky one that mate. What are we classing the 'disabled'?

Those who are genuine, or those who are signed off for their working life with a 'bad back/stress/idleitis (*delete as appropriate)' who use their free parking badge to park in front of Asda, and then run in for 200 Lamberts?

Thats why we have a west stand

Not if the option is not cheaper , point being lets get them in the place and entertain them 1 st

how about giving em all a tenner apiece and a free packed lunch as they enter
