Ok, I won't discuss any further, I'll just add up the pledges by the end of next and I'll take the figures to the club (though MC already knows I suspect) and I'll make my suggestion, I'll also mention that Digital still seems a favoured option by some and leave it up to them.

If we can get it up to the £600 mark at least I'm sure they can find something useful to do with it, with or without our suggestions

I think just leave it for the club to work out how best to use the money imo. From past marketing they have done I'm sure they will have a better idea of what works and what doesn't.

Maybe they will do another free entry for NHS staff, that would be a nice gesture after everything that has gone on.

If that were true then we wouldn't be running this thread would we? The club get plenty of cash from me to do with as they please. This was a parallel idea I think?
I know Homme Vast has probably killed it off though so I guess we'll just go and buy another hoody or something.

Nah, I'm still up for it. Let's see how much we get and what they say next week.

I find your hoody fetish a bit disturbing

OK folks, whatever the club decide to do I think we need to be around about the £800 mark, if we can get to that I reckon they would make up any minor shortfall.

We are at £500 by my reckoning, which is absolutely brilliant but we need another 12 pledges to make that figure,

So this weekend can anyone who's not already done so can they put their names down if they wish to do so. Also if any of you can give a nudge to any forum members they know who don't visit often to please take a look.

Thanks

i'm in.Just let me know when & how.

I've another pal who is in.

Count me in. Cheers

A very noble idea Vasty, but it seems a very sad and sorry state of affairs, if the club are having to rely on fans, to provide the backing for marketing. Feels like my time as a treasurer at a local amateur sports club back in the day.

It all seems a bit amateur by the club, but not the poster's who are willing to take a chance and part with a bit of brass.

Good luck with it though.

Quote vastman="vastman"Ok, folks the Trinity Walk screen, which IMHO is far and away the best one is a non-starter as far as I can see. For two weeks you don't get much change from 4k!!! It's also booked up for months although I got the impression they couldn't have been less interested in us. I honestly think that's a waste of some serious money that the club could use elsewhere, just my opinion. Anyway, I've looked at the alternatives for our budget and I've come up with this. I think it's much better value for money and will make more hits. 15,000 A5 leaflets printed and delivered for £975 if we can get that high. I've not run any of this past the club but for me, it's a no-brainer. Needs to be done for the first match where there are no Covid restrictions IMO or it's a bit pointless. I'd suggest we target residential areas where the demographic have some interest, Eastmoor, Sandal, Walton, Crofton, Sharlestone, Stanley, Lupset etc. If we can go up to £1,265 (you could add Normanton, Wrenthorpe, Outwood etc) but I'm sure people at the club would have a better idea. Obviously any other suggestions welcome. I'm also willing to chuck in for free 200 A3 posters and a downloadable A4 version if the club is interested and people are willing to distribute them. https://www.leaflet-media.co.uk/wakefield I've mocked up a rough idea, not sure if they are double-sided and if they are it might only be black and white but assuming they are. Is everyone happy for me to pursue this idea instead? '" Hope it goes well Vasty, the leaflet drop was one idea I put to the board back in 2016, targeting areas of the city that weren’t selling very well, and also new build estates. Leaflet drops was one way I used to promote my business which I started back at the end of 2019, which has grown steadily, and this has been quite successful for me, and if season tickets get sold, it will make back its money

Let's go for it. Great way for fans to support the club in a not expensive but significant way.
