kcab sfrawdder Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg

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 icon_wink.gif ' 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

Quote: Starbug "Try to ensure that nobody gets in more than twice'"

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?

Quote: JENKY "Than EVERY OTHER Championship 1 team next year and a lot of Championship clubs in the support department.
We also need to be the big draw in the town when we play at home.
We are down now and must be planning to be the BEST by a long long way next season - the planning MUST start at 09again favoured over a English Heartland club icon_confused.gif:
Those that live in Leigh and within 10 miles of Leigh should also be targetted , along wqith every school , youth centre , amateur club and sportsclub with block book cheap tickets or freebies.

We need people back or to follow the club otherwise last season will be remebered as one of the best icon_eek.gif
I actually think filling a ground by offering reasonably priced tickets (Then ensuring your merchandise is easily available to add to your coffers on matchday to recoup some of that money) , incentives to familys and buy early deals is just as good as playing in front of a hardcore of 850 paying top whack.

They did.

They also did a deal for a cheap season ticket with promises of updates on sales, it didn't take off as expected and fizzled out without really making a success of the fact we moved into a state of the art RL ground.
