Quote: bren2k "What happened to the Man Utd marketing bod we employed some months ago?!
End of term on Friday in Wakey; I'd have badged it as an end of term bash and been into as many schools and colleges as I could, with discounted tickets for students and teachers - it would have been straightforward to come up with a one-time deal to entice kids to come, who inevitably bring adults. Maybe get some school bands, gymnastics teams, even rugby teams to play each other - pre-match and half-time entertainment sorted out, all based loosely around the end of term theme.
It's not rocket science - but it does require a bit of vision and some investment.'"
Verity (ex Man Utd) still works at the club, I think they are more focused on sponsors and selling out hospitality than promoting the game to the fans on the terraces
Getting really frustrated with it, the 6000 fans keeps getting mentioned but how do you get fans into the ground when they don't do anything about it. You have to invest in marketing to get the fans in, putting a few tweets and a few things on FB isnt very good.
Social media should be hammered to promote the game, old stories and highlights of games from the past. Get the rivalry buzzing but we fail on every level of marketing.
I buy a ticket to be entertained.
