That's a decent call - a dual reg could do him the world of good.

I just still have the horrible feeling they are preaching to the conveted. I suggested using Hyde in the Barnsley area, get him and a couple of others as far as Penistone Grammar (he went to school there).'"
I've got Good News and Bad News:
Good News is that the board at the top of Broadway in Lupset is no longer being used to advertise the Bradford game.
Bad News is it's not being used to promote the Season Ticket deal or anything else either because it has gone!!

| They're horrible anyway - they look low rent and chatty.
We should get some of those massive bill-boards in strategic places - the ones that Eric France has, until recently, been plastering with scantily clad ladies; they certainly grab the attention.
I'd also invest in a couple of those tow-along boards - stick them on the back of vehicles on weekends and drive them around town, parking in high volume areas for periods of time, them moving on. If you want to be radical, there's even a Leeds based company that featured on Dragons Den last year - they hire out electronic ones that can be towed on a bicycle - few of those round Wakefield city centre on a weekend are bound to grab attention; they're green and healthy too, so a good fit with a sports business.
It's not, as they say, rocket science.

So why do us amateurs (in a well meaning way) come up with these things and the pros come up with nothing? Very odd. Where's our 'brilliant' TV ad now?

Probably because we've always employed amateurs in the marketing postions. Mind you I imagine they have sod all budget to work with anyway.

Said at the time the money used for the TV ads would be better served promoting the club within the City.
The bill boards is a simple but effective idea. Even the Cathedral School has utilised this method. A few well placed bill boards around the city, perhaps with a massive picture of a number of the players, similar to what they have in the touchline bar, would certainly grab peoples attention. Stick the season ticket offer information on as well. All in all I imagine, ratio wise much cheaper than 30 seconds of prime time TV in getting more people to the ground.

| I phoned up and ordered a ticket/gold membership on the first day of the offer, and duly got a £100 charge on my credit card bill.
Now, a month later, I have received an email from the club confirming my Gold Membership. Not sure whether to a) get excited - target hit, no £75 bill coming my way! Or b) shake my head at the predictability of WTW taking a month to acknowledge my pledge and continue hoping (as unlikely as it is) that we will hit the target...

| Would be nice to get the city centre covered in red white and blue. Massive flags, banners and bill boards everywhere. All comes down to money, though.

You would think that our wonderful Council might help with something like that, to mark the fact that a local, self-made businessman has taken over the city's only professional sports club and not only rescued it from extinction, but guaranteed a further three years in the top flight, putting the city on the national sporting stage.
Not to mention promoting sport and healthy lifestyles to kids and other communities throughout the city, aswell as getting women and girls involved through dance and touch rugby.
Not to mention working his nuts off to provide the city with a world class sporting facility.
Not to mention, in a time of recession and rising unemployment, providing jobs both within the club and it's supply chain and associated businesses within the city.
I wonder if there's a particular reason for WMDC's apathy towards the club that does all of the above things...?

| Heard a radio advert today advertising the offer. I think the club are copping some unfair stick here.
