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 |

| Quote: Leigh24.7 "But surveying existing fans just gives you preferences - not additional fans. We need to know how many EXTRA people would come if the day & time was changed. Two ways of doing that - (1) survey town centre / ASDA / Parsonage area or (2) try it.
Like I said previously - was the 25% increase partly due to the KO time / day ?'"
My post was in response to the debate about when we should be playing and it's impact on the current fan base , as for getting additional fans then that is a totally different problem , personnally , i'd let em in for free , and then get their contact details as you can then ask them what you would need to do to get them to return |

That is not a bad idea matey - the club need to do a major one off 'thing ?' to try and get an immediate significant increase in crowds. They are increasing and may continue to do so but it needs to be by more than a couple of hundred each game. |

In the 60's I remember a match where women were allowed in free it worked as the crowd for that particular game did go up.
I expect most of our present female fans have season tickets but it might work.

Glow my lad plays for Leigh Miners.
Also Starbug Leigh have the best sort of database out there they have the superleigh lottery thousands upon thousands of Names and address's get a mass mail out to them people about promotions, special offers Mid season ticket prices and yes feed them info and hope to get a bit of feedback back from them , see if we could get them down to the LSV. there are plenty of things LSV could do to try a boost attendances.
IMO beginning of the season and a majority of last season we where barely breaking 1600-1700 gates now where seeing 2000 - 2300, where getting back the people who have lost interest because the team werent doing that well, yes maybe £14 to see your team get hammered is their own decision, but now where getting all them people back in bits and bats because where now winning. lets just wait and see what the next couple of home games bring. also whilst we are winning and playing some good rugby exploit it to the full to try and entice people back.'"
So you have become a supporter of the club , not a winning team , not a particular coach , not a particular bunch of players , a win , lose or draw loyal fan , those are the sort we need , not the " I'll watch them in SL " fan , or the " The beers too dear " fan , or the " I'll not watch them while the Directors are ' strutting their stuff ' and taking all the money out " fan , but who are those fans , and how do you get them ? |

Warms the heart to see such geniune supporters are still out there great stuff.....so lets get them in with a family ticket,no freebie just a fair price to hook them,it costs nothing to the club as these people were not coming if the offer was not there? |

Starbug has also suggested ' proper ' cheerleaders sponsored by ' Barbs ' with auditions held at ' Barbs ' , as for the ' Milfs ' 
How about a ' Mother and children ' ticket for a fiver if you spend more than 50 quid at ASDA ?, put them in the East stand with a load of ASDA freebies , I'm sure the Co op would be chuffed with that  |

[i:5a56um9q]Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.[/i:5a56um9q]

You dont use the same bait to catch different fish
Now what type of audience would you attract with a load of scantily clad young ladies dancing on the pitch ?
When hubby is at the pub on a sunday afternoon how do you entice down the kids ? , you get mum to bring them , how do you get mum to bring them ? , well I'd suggest a load of fit young men in tight shorts , but you will not get women coming to a match on their own , how often do they go to the loo on thier own ? , so you need to get them in groups as basically they need somebody to talk to every 30 seconds , so a combination of offers via schools and shops
