I do not believe in Dance acts in TW2, but Wakey are to be applauded for their efforts getting a 7k+ crowd for the visit of the welsh. 4 weeks continuous hard graft by their back office staff, together with the expert guidance of someone who was not long ago helping us out with marketing strategy goes to show what can be achieved.
The same can be said of the marketing effort of the RFL for the Manly game. People got off their @rses and badgered pubs/clubs/papers/websites etc to push the game and we got 6,500 odd LOCAL types to watch that game.
I really am starting to tire of banging on, but really...what do the back office staff do? They have 14.5 working days between now and Castleford. 8 hrs a day is 116 hrs. If 115 hrs aren't spent marketing the game then something is very very very wrong.
9,975 fans needed......2,000 assured...so 68 fans an hour needed to get them.
1 phone call to BA......would you like 400 free tickets to the stoop for your staff? Yes! Good. All they will have to do is take part in an exit poll by email the week after the game. We will forward you the link to the poll and you can ask your staff to tell us what they thouhght of the day.
Thank you.
Pick up phone, dial Gillette.......

It isn't brain surgery, but the club do seem to think it is

So you're prepared to dish out free tickets to every Tom, Dick and Harry just to artificially beat last year's average attendance? Brilliant!

While you're at it why don't you issue every homeless person a ticket too? If they all turn up you might fill the ground.

Oh dear.......here we go again!
I would happily dish out free tickets to any employee of a locally based large multinational company in the hope that they would
a/ buy a beer or a burger
b/ enjoy themselves
c/ possibly consider coming back.

Would you rather we forked out 20k for a page in our local paper?

...anyway, haven't you got a school uniform to try on

What the players do need to realise is that if they put in another stinking performance a lot of folks will think hard about renewing season tickets.

I cannot think of a worse period for trying to sell season tickets.

The performances, the economy etc etc. We need a few good results by the end of the season if people are going to fork out for next year.

Maybe they think we will get amnesia and forget the second half of the season.

and the poles are all in Ealing
OK, BA or SKY TV next.......

Glaxo Smithkline Beecham? About 10,000 emplyees there alone, assuming they haven't decamped to the peoples republic of low wages.

I'm with GF on this one just hand them out, another thread says mass clerout needed sadly I think that may relate yet again to season ticket holders.

Worst bit of managing expectations ever to say we were going to win the GF

Obviously

I came to a deal ages ago with David Hughes, he stopped telling me how to spend my money, and in return I stop telling him how to spend his.
