I did question the value of the Evening Standard promotion last year, but I believe this one as an idea to be for one Sky Sports fixture and that a number of prospective fans are turned off by our poor crowds seen on tv, they haven't even researched the true extent of the problem the evidence is there to see. I would do it as a one-off targeted game and make sure you get five figures through the turnstiles, and the game, the team, the atmosphere, etc convince people that they could stretch to £15 a ticket in the future. A one-off promotion through Sky does not make it any harder than it did through ES, and I believe the positives, as stated elsewhere, outweigh the negatives.

The budget on the playing staff may have increased but the same attitudes remain in place as regards to marketing the club. Maybe a big Sky advert is the only way the club are going to spread the word beyond it's own fans. https://rewards.sky.com/skyloyalty/home/indexb.html and input Chad Randall for JTH and the best player from the opposition for Strettle and get it out there.

I believe the club are planning to offer some free tickets through ES again, although I can remember whether that was said for sure at the Fans Forum, so would it be better to favour the Sky reward route and look at a new and targeted audience, ie ones that have the equipment to view the sport on tv, the locale to travel to the ground and have the effort to get along to the game. There are a hell of alot of SS viewers of rugby league in the south, I would attempt to be innovative in ways to offer the tickets, rather than just 1000 free through ES. I do understand the devaluing angle, but for me it is more important to look solvent in the numbers of supporters stakes rather than quibble over the decline in the worth of the tickets through our own quantitative easing. Surely the pay-off is a worthwhile one if the end result is a game with a ground 2/3+ full, a decent game and lots of pretty young ladies handing out leaflets of how to get tickets for next weeks game. If the club are going to go down a free route, why not make it one that picks up as many passengers along the way, and I believe that you will get more paying passengers the following weeks because of it.
