| Quote: Khlav Kalash "Club promotion is crap. Without promoting the club attendances will continue to decrease and the demise of Wakefield Trinity will continue. Some say a winning team is the best form of promotion which to a certain extent is true, however, how on earth do you get a winning team on sub 3K home crowds
Carter has done a lot of good during his tenure but this has never sat well with me. Whilst the whole thing was built on sand, Glover knew how to create anticipation and build a bit of a buzz about the club. I’ve said it on another thread, who would realise Wakefield Trinity existed within the city boundary if you didn’t already know? I would guess many would think it’s a shopping centre primarily.
The club players are an asset. They spend enough time in Costa anyway so why not get them in Trinity Walk or the percent every Saturday afternoon preceding a Sunday match. Create a bit of a carnival event with music, competitions and photo opportunities. Engage with your potential consumer base. Don’t ignore them to only expect them to turn up with no incentive. History shows they will not.'"
Nail on the head here...

While I admit marketing/promotion is pretty poor by the club this doesn't help.
Im trying not to arrange stuff in the next 6 weeks so I can attend the home games but we dont know when they
are, so looks like I may miss some games I didn't want to.

In the w era of "every minute matters", surely you have put your real life on hold, so that you don't miss even one second of the action !
Seriously though, we cant even promote one of our biggest home fixtures in the season.
The time and date of the fixtures in the middle 8's are incidental in the grand scheme of things.
I really don't know how clubs under threat of the middle 8 and especially the clube that have to compete in it, actually try and assemble a competitive squad for next season.
It's quite ridiculous that clubs outside the top 8 are disadvantaged more heavily than ever.
Moving back to promoting the games.
If we want to increase S?T holders for next season, we HAVE to gain some additional interest over the next 7/8 weeks.
As another poseter has already mentioned already, there seems little likelihood of any early bird offer (of which there is usually a decent take up), due to us not knowing where we will be playing or in which division but, the next few weeks at least will get the club talked about and we must capitalise on the exposure and try and attract some more support.

| We don't have anyone responsible for marketing according to Mr Carter. I think his people skills could do with a little coaching because his sarcasm aimed at you on here is not justified. I know some of you are a little obsessed but with regards this topic you are just trying to offer low cost suggestions to increase the attendance.
I think you are wasting your time because reading his Twitter account he knows best at the expense of all other advice. I wonder if he is related to Nero and can play a fiddle.

If you remove your head from up his posterior and ask yourself what right does he have to make a sarcastic comment on his Twitter account about any supporter let alone the obsessives who post on here. He may make the rules and set the conditions but it is us who have to accept them and pay the money asked albeit getting less in number.

@WTWChairman
Have to agree with you, really unnecessary tweet that.

| I read the tweet last night and thought it was sarcastic, rude & unprofessional. Whilst acknowledging the contribution MC makes, this shows a lack of empathy with people who have different views, but still want the best for the club.

| Just a step back to the M C early days. He would be better to keep his remarks to him self. No people skills he needs help in that department.
Its his club and he can run it as he sees fit, it may be a good idea to engage the public not bag em.
Its a typical response from M C and it does not surprise me one bit.

Quite scary that even with such limited staff, we cant update the club's main web page to advertise our next game

Quote: wrencat1873 "With Cas visiting Belle Vue on Sunday, why aren't the club promoting the fixture ?
We've had poor attendance at home all season and the Cas game should be our 2nd best attended home fixture (after Leeds) but, there is nothing on the club website to even hint of the game, it's bizarre.
Of course the regular fans know what's going on but how do we expect to increase numbers at home games.
We are likely to be outnumbered by the Cas fans but more has to be done to "sell" the game.
Even so close to the game, surely it's possible to get some promotion work done on Saturday in the precinct in Wakefield. ????'"

I think it is necessary and ill advised but he has just as much right to post it as you have to post your opinions. Why should his rights be any different to yours?
