Quote: waterfield's finest "When is en ex-fan truly an ex-fan? As I've been saying on here since my first ever post being a fan is not black and white. Every GMR-listener has their trigger point to become a paying spectator again.
At the two extremes, for some it may take a SL Grand Final or Challenge Cup Final, for others they will go home and away no matter how low we fall.
In between there is a big long sliding scale ranging between 500 and 10,000. It would seem that I'm a fairly fair-weather fan who bails out at about 2,300!
Basil's appointment just jumped us up the scale by 500 I'd guess.'"
I agree , but the problem is nobody can guarantee anything on the pitch side of things
All you can try to do is play attractive RL and then get the people down to see it , hopefully that along with as good a matchday experience as you can provide will entice some to want to either start watching or to return watching
It is a simple enough business plan , produce a reasonably good product , let people sample it [ for free if neccessary ] and hope they then want to buy it
My reasoning is that some have tried it before and decided they no longer liked it , but there are a lot out there that have never tried it
You chase both , problem is some will only buy ' the best ' and if you cannot provide the best they wont purchase , whereas others who have never bought that particular product might be willing to purchase something not quite the best but still a good product
Sorry I hate using all the ' buy and product ' stuff but it is the simplest way to explain the thinking
