I would personally get a road show going, a coach and 3 or 4 players and go round the schools getting the kids actively involved in a 2 or 3 day P.E. session.
Now i understand that there are a lot of schools but i doesn't matter how long it takes.
Even offer free tickets after the session (god knows there's enough room)

The problem is that the Club are currently doing this and winning
rlawardsrl for it, but we are not getting any tangible results at the gate from it.
Yes, by all means spread the gospel to Kids, but also give them a family ticket after the session, where 2 kids get in free with 1 paying Adult. Junior goes home that night and badgers Dad/Mum to take them to the game. This is the Long game that the club are playing at the moment and I believe it will get results in the long run, but in the interim, let's see a little bit of initiative and clever thinking to get bums on seats.
Had an idea last night that might work (then again, might not).
Run a campaign every week in TNT selling game tickets to our convict cousins. The rules are simple, buy your ticket, register your details and at half time, you willbe entered in a draw for a weekend away in a European city. The main reason that the Southern Hemisphere bar staff come to the UK is to explore Europe, so a £15 ticket to watch a great game AND the chance to win a weekend away might just be too good to turn down. As well as TNT, posters in the Bush walkabout and other well known haunts may have the desired result. Cost of weekend for 2....£250.........so 17th ticket pays for that. Commission on tickets to TNT may well push this up to 30 tickets, but still.......the maths do add up.
