Paddock: Sorry, but who apart from a 1st year Marketing student thought that 5,000 plastic Oyster Card Holders was going to add to the gate?
DSWG: ? Puzzled by what you mean? What did I get wrong? The free tickets thing.....yeah, I have resisted it in the past but mainly because when it has happened the club haven't "followed it up", but what else do I have to be sorry for?
You two have my respect as you are two of the most loyal supporters the club has...the problem is that unless the club can find another 3,000 like you, they will continue to ship cash like confetti!
I make no secret of my disdain for the clubs activity (or lack of it) in the marketing department and the figures between 2000 up until now do nothing to disprove my rantings.....
I repeat.....fill the ground for Salford....by hook or by crook...even if they have to bus kids in, but make the effort. 4 weeks of 7am to 8pm working days.....run up a phone bill, spend some cash on leafletting/advertising in a local free-sheet...I mean REALLY have a go.
One of my abididng early memories of the club is when two very active supporters helped arrange a leaflet drop in the brentford area and it was done purely by "fans". I picked up the flyers from the club and then that staff member who gave them to me simply said goodbye and left for home
. The Club need to get pro-active. The staff need to be made aware that all of their Jobs are on the line if we fail to get more bums on seats. Everyone from PB down to the Tea person need to get involved.....
as it is......does anyone expect a 3k gate for the Salford game? No away fans to speak of....I reckon the high 2,000's will roll up, putting us on a 2,600 average......
I apologise if I upset some on here by speaking bluntly, but I don't apologise to anyone for what I am saying.
Come on Quins...Prove me wrong. Please......prove me wrong!
