Well for me, I'd just look at their website. Same as if I wanted to go watch some athletics or some
Although I see the value of advertising events, in modern web-friendly Britain you don't have to look far. It's more a matter of letting people know we exist.
I'm not desperate for the poster that says we play Bradford next home game. It won't attract someone just passing the stadium. But those same posters/banners etc just remind you that we are there and something is happening.
If I were in charge I would do that. It wouldn't cost a lot. And to be honest, with a bit of work building good will in the community, people will do it for you.
I'm not against spending money on advertising, I'm just saying, when money is tight, that tends to go first.
