I have to say that although marketing has never been WTW strong point, I have seen this in more places than probably any other initiative we've tried. I'm sure an experienced marketeer could put forward different ideas but you can't say people don't know about it.
I'd say if we reach the target is a direct result of improved marketing. It's on the web site, on at least 2 social media sites, on posters, announced at the ground on match day, on tv.....what more do you want?
The quality could obviously improve if we went to Saatchi and Saatchi but you can't know ck the volume or effort.

Improved marketing, most definitely (but then that wasn't difficult was it?)

Still think we could have done more - used the boards around the city (which admittedly have gone now), advertised in Yorkshire Post\Evening Post, had staff out around the city centre more (happily being addressed this weekend).

i think the target may be reached or as near as!

we moved a few a months ago and just a call check adress is correct

I have tried and tried again to contact Davide Longo at the club to verify disabled and carer access. Have been trying since the Bradford game and he has never been available. Well enough is enough and that is 2 from their target.

Have you spoken to bluejayaway? He might be able to help.

i once went for a curry in town. there was a toyota avensis with wakefield trinity logos on it parked in a disabled spot outside (car park opposite wilkinson's - or tescos as it once was). mr longo was inside eating a meal with his mates. there was no blue badge in the car. don't expect somebody who has been promoted above their level of ability to act competently. it’s bound to lead to disappointment

Its a shame to hear you are having problems, i thought this was all behind us and we'd moved on.

Getting mine and the beetroot muncher's tomorrow!

"a modest pat on the back" isn't a criticism, it's a realisation that we've done a good job but we could and should have done it better.
Adverts in the YP, YEP, Lge Exp and Wakefield Express, used a larger presence from the playing staff in the city centre and the local communitity, billboards etc....
A lot of what we did was preaching at the converted, we should have looked wider and will need to look wider if our support base is to develop.
As I said, I didn't think we would reach the target, now I feel we weren't as proactive as I think we could have been.
Either way as I also stated, it's hindsight.

Is there any reason you have to speak to him specifically?

I say that only because I got tickets for some disabled lads earlier this season, and one of the shop staff was able to tell me everything I needed about disabled access and entitlement for carers etc.

I'm not making excuses mind - if you left a message, someone should get back to you.

I've just sent you an email

Elston on Twitter this morning. Hopefully he is right.

I wonder if glitter will fall from the roof and sirens be sounded for the lucky 2500th person???!!!!!

Not a bad idea - the 2,500th could win a hospitality package for the first game of the season; write a press release highlighting the massive increase in uptake etc, get some photo's done handing over a giant season ticket and hey presto, instant media coverage.

Then, the masterstroke; use the press release to announce that we're so happy with the way the Wakefield public have suppported the offer, we're doing a similar prize for the 3,500th ST sold.
