someone at the club [url=http://www.league.quins.co.uk/news/9908.phpLISTENS[/url

While I fully understand the ' chasing business ' marketing ideas , it is ' base ' level support you seem to be lacking

Have the club any initiatives in the pipeline for that ? , other than letting existing fans in for less money if they wear a footy shirt

Pretty sure they've been doing stuff with the CoC for a while now

Even better. Hopefully they will get some business out of it. Problem is, it's never publicised (until now). It may well be that this has been going on for ages, but how are we supposed to know if they don't tell anyone. As it is, I have a close mate (union thru and thru) who owns a company in the R&T CoC and he has never had any contact with the League side of the club.

Get him to contact the club

Why?
Should he phone up and say:
" I normally take my contacts and customers to RU games as well as Polo, cricket and occasional soccer games but was wondering if there are any opportunities available at Quins RL"

So, the job of order maker becomes the to job of an order TAKER etc etc etc etc.........I'll let HKBronco fill in the rest.

What. So this is down to you is it?

not sure.
tell you what though, it was in a business plan I sent to the club in 2005.
I don't care if it was my idea or not, it just goes to show the wheels are turning at tw2 and the hamster is showing signs of life.

Good to hear.

Is the Cannons Health Club still across the road from the stadium? How about running a promo with them. Have their Personal Trainers go to a Quins session and see how the guys train. Then get the Quins trainers take a Boot Camp style session (if the training field is still there) and everyone who attends gets a free ticket to a selected game (make them earn it), also to give something back to Cannons to help promotion, anyone buying PT session that month gets a free ticket to a game.

Now that there seems to be more junior teams etc, does the club still do the "cashback scheme"?

So it probably ain't then. But you do care GF, otherwise you wouldn't have pointed out that you previously sent them a business plan 4 years ago with something that was coincidentally (or not) in it. It also sounds like the club have been doing it before. But now it's good by you as it's been reported on their website. So basically, nothing's changed. We just publicly know about it now.

Why doesn't everyone put their ideas in writing on here. In one thread. Then get them all off to the club. Let them decide what to do with the money they have. And where they can spend it. And more importantly, if they can spend it. Go through every subject from tickets on the day, to season tickets to match day experiences. Then if the club cannot physically do an idea, that's the end of the matter. No more whinging. No coming on here saying my idea is brilliant so the club must be shıt as they haven't done anything. etc. etc.

What do you think?

I try not to when it comes to being baited.

You ain't. So what do you think? And everyone else of course.

I think it's a great idea.



We will combine all our ideas, send them to the club, the purse holder won't release funds for any marketing and then we all shut up about the fact that 3,300 is an unsustainable gate figure and watch it shrink even further.

Like my ideas or not and whether the club implement them because of my rants or because of someone else thinking of them, I will continue to bang on until something tangible is done about this;
AVERAGE GATES IN LONDON OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS.
2000 - 3430
2001 - 3232
2002 - 3803
2003 - 3545
2004 - 3460
2005 - 3918
2006 - 4238
2007 - 3428
2008 - 3630
2009 - 3368

Basically, we have spent 10 seasons "treading water". We have a few owners over this period, none of whom have spent a brass farthing on marketing and as such, even Celtic Crusaders are making us look stupid with a team rooted to the foot of the table



This is a public forum and I will continue to post what I want so long as I don't break the AUP.
If you don't like it RB, avoid reading my posts, but don't try to stop what you don't understand, just because you don't understand it.

I don't understand??? A bit condescending ain't ya?

What we'll do then, is we'll do it all your way. Is that the right way?

Leave it out geezer. This very thread is all about you. If you bang the drum loud enough is solely around the fact that the club is doing something that you think you have suggested. It's not Windy one, or Listy or Homer is it? Even then it sounds like the club had done it in the past, but because you weren't aware of them doing it you'd previously put the boot in.

Is it adulation you seek? Because that's how you're coming across. To quote H K Bronco. "your new-found martyrdom is not an attractive trait"

<EDITED a bit>

Why don't we put statues of gutterfax in all the empty seats ?

Are you saying Gutters is statuesque?

It took a while but now we get to the crux of it.
Your opinion is that I seek recognition for something that may or may not have been prompted by me!
Well that's just B0ll0x and as I said earlier, you were baiting me.

I deal in currency......not platitudes and plaudits. I make money for whomever pays me or my company or I am out of work.

I posted a link to the story with a title about "if you bang the drum", not LOOK AT ME, AREN'T I GREAT.
I repeat, all I want is for the club to thrive. I don't want any back slapping or recognition.

This is decending into a point scoring excercise and I really can't be @rsed debating my personallity with you. As I allude to above....."you don't have to like me, just pay me" is the way I do business and it's worked quite well so far.

Fine. No worries. The thing we'll always agree on is that we want the club to thrive and survive.
