."....but was told I can't have seats I picked out since they are reserved for away fans."

I wonder if you'd claimed you were an 'away' fan who wanted to watch Quins home matches you'd have been sold a season ticket in the seats reserved for away fans? With the next nearest club how many miles away, why shouldn't RL supporters of other clubs, who live in London, go to watch RL at Quins, as neutrals or even temporary supporters of the away team? Perhaps the Club could be more aware of that potential source of spectators?

On the way up to the Skolars game yesterday, I noticed that just outside London Bridge station, large signs had been erected on building site scaffolding advertising `Lassco`s` the architectural salvage company. The signs are the vinyl type giving the company logo and contact details, which can be easily taken down and posted on other areas of the site/other sites/buildings etc as the building work progresses......i.e. the original purchase cost for the sign is a one-off payment.

The signs face onto the railway near a major train network junction, so potential exposure to the travelling public is huge. No idea what any of this might cost, but in these difficult financial times I would have thought that many building companies might be receptive to such an easy revenue earning scheme.......where all they have to do is look after a sign. Get a working relationship with a builder and they could roll this out to other sites/areas.

Might be worth a look at?....no pun intended

The Evening Standard has a new editor

Not sure if this is a good or bad thing for us. He comes from Tatler...which would be more of a fit with our Union brothers.

Currently reading BBC Radio presenter and journalist Stuart Maconie's book "Pies & Prejudice - In Search of the North" (he's a Wiganer ). He would seem to be a likely advocate of Rugby League in the South.

CPA is the most cost effective way to market. 20% commission on every ticket sold as a direct result of promotion is £12,500 out of £60,000 for 4,000 tickets.
IF say, the London Paper was to run a promotion all week, offering a free raffle ticket with a prize of a box and full hospitality when a ticket is purchased, you would need 0.8% response to get 4,000 sales.
Book price for a page is £18,500, but you and I both know that £10,000 is nearer the mark if not even less. So, The London paper (or any of the others) gets a promotion to run that should generate anywhere between £8,000 and £15,000, we get 500,000 opportunities to raise our profile and not 1 penny changes hands unless it works.
Metro ran a campaign in 2005 for 6 free VB's with a ticket. 6,500 turned up to see us beat Leeds. Our average that season was 4,003........it ain't brain surgery
