Quote: Dunkirk Spirit "I’m glad you got a positive from that. I can remember another positive reaction you had earlier this year. I think it was at the time when the leaflet drop and Trinity walk screen advertising was being discussed (whatever happened to that I never heard of anyone getting a leaflet)You had a meeting/discussion with MC, about possible developments on the West Terrace. You seemed very positive then. Are you still as positive about that development, after a few months of silence. Not a dig at you,(excuse the Pun) I’m just eager to hear some positive news.
Loads of people got leaflets. I'd say it was quite successful.

I didn’t and I can see the floodlights from my house. Have you been provided with the areas that the leaflets were posted or were you relying on the distribution company.

Why on earth would I be provided with the distribution?

I thought you had organised the company who distributed the leaflets.

Here we go again, any opportunity to have a pop. The club decided which areas they wanted to target with 12,000 leaflets, I think that was the amount.

That isn’t the whole of the city, even you can work that out. Why try and make an issue, utterly pathetic.

Personally I’m hoping this was a test run and when the time is right they will blitz the whole city pre-season. One costed to the club or a sponsor.

Just for once accept that some posters on here and the club did a good thing for a very modest outlay.

I got one and I dare say the three games targeted were relatively busy so a success. Helps that we won all three.

Quote: vastman "Loads on here got a leaflet, my mother got one!

No idea about Trinity Walk, probably not the timeTBH.

Whatever happens to the West terrace is directly linked to what funding we get for the redevelopment.

I can tell you that the west terrace is last in the cue, it’s an add on if we can find a way. Even if the discussed idea does gain wings id say it’s a few years off. I’ll happily let you know when I know. HTH.'"

Did it encourage her to go to a game ?

Nope, but I shouldn't think she's the target audience.

Exactly that's why I think the leaflet drop is worthless because the majority just go to the bin, the only way to find it it works is by offering invites with the leaflet to either the club shop giving a discount, or a game of their choice, did the leaflet have either option?

I don't know what you do as a living but I have worked in marketing on and off for thirty years. So I can tell you that yours is a totally ignorant and clueless statement, sorry but it is and typical of your more recent bitter demeanor.

The purpose of this leaflet drop was 'Scattergun" as we used to call it. It is expected that 95% will probably be glanced at and go in the bin. The other 5% may get a response of some sort.

This approach was used mainly to remind people that the club was open for business again and had not disappeared during the pandemic. How it is used in the future now we've had a trial run may differ and be far more proactive.

What I don't get is your need to moan, complain and snipe. This drop was funded by some fans who liked the idea, it wasn't taken from the player budget or any other budget, it was a one-off.

You didn't contribute, your choice but that means it's got absolutely nothing to do with you, so butt out and show some respect to other fans who did what they thought best. Maybe even offer them the same gratitude they offered you when you did the crash barriers, or are you more important than the rest of us?

Not your best post ever.

Leaflet drops are a numbers game.
Hopefully if you drop enough of them, you pick up enough business to cover the cost and when those people "buy again" you get a return on the original cost.
Of course most of them end up in the bin, just as the leaflets for pizza shops and supermarkets do and "we" may not have got this one right.
However, it was a fans initiative and cost Trinity nothing at all so, in that respect its a no lose or maybe a win/win.

It's a pity that it couldn't be done when restrictions on fan numbers were done away with but, it was certainly worth a punt.

Correct.

But what bugs me is this was a fan initiative so why does it bother people in the way it seems to. I’d get it if it was the club paying for it when perhaps the money could have been spent elsewhere but it wasn’t.

As you say it was a punt after some fans complained about a lack of marketing.

It strikes me that the MC honeymoon is over with some and they just want to have a go. Two years ago I reckon nobody would have objected, a lot of uncalled for negativity has crept in aimed mainly at people doing their best under tricky circumstances.

Fans need to give the club a break imho as they can’t seem to do right for wrong and it’s not fair.

Just been announced on Radio 5 that Hudds v Cas is off because Hudds can’t raise a side “due to Covid”, and the game’s been awarded to Cas, 24-0.
Is this correct? If it is, what’s the difference between that and Salford? Am I missing something?
