I went to the Brighouse Gala at the weekend and Halifax RL had a stand there, they had a number of recognised players handing out leaflets, talking to the public and having photos taken with kids. Whenever I walked past the players had stopped somebody and were chatting away. The point is when do we see Giants players at these kinds of events? And if we ever do, are they ever recognised first team players? If the players were to go out and be seen in public they could chat to those who are on the fence about games, show their enthusiasm for the Giants and drum up some support. Teenagers are perfect for this kind of media, especially girls! They speak to a muscly rugby player in a t-shirt and shorts for two minutes at a gala and they are in love and these kids can go to matches on their own, they don't need parents to take them.

Also I know the players go into junior schools for chats about health and nutrition (which I have been reliably informed are 'a bit boring') but surely they could be doing actual training sessions with these kids in schools, get the kids excited about rugby, the kids would then go home telling Mum and Dad all about it and hopefully talk them into attending a match.

Before I get any grief, no i haven't been to a match myself in just over a year as I had a baby last June and am expecting another one in a few months but i fully intend to take both of them to matches when they get big enough to sit in a chair on their own!

3 games to glory
Should sell itself really :/

But yeah nows the time to push publicity

we did promos for the wire and leeds games and also promo for a half season tickets

if people dont know about us by now then they just arent interested in the first place!

Sometimes you say some daft things

People have the memory of a goldfish, and have to be told constantly - why else do companies spend millions on adverts? Coca cola are THE most famous brand in the world but still spend money and use gimmicks to get people to buy their fizzy brown sugar

It needs to be constant to get people in until they come on a regular basis, not once or twice a season but at every opportunity, yes people know where we are but I'd bet not even every fan that has a season ticket could tell you what day our next home game is

To do nothing results in achieving nothing. Just as on the pitch the effort off it has to be matched, and I don't mean in cheap tickets but in maximising exposure and making our last home games events - each and every one of them

all costs money im afraid, we just dont have the marketing department leeds , wire and wigan have.

lets hope we get more exposure on radio leeds, super league show and sky sports...think we will with sky wanting to get us on tv and also bbc with the cup

That is true alas.

Hopefully the next few weeks will see the name of Huddersfield Giants buzzing in the media
