Low crowds in my opinion are still low as the board has never implemented many of the core ideas put to them 2 years ago, the media is the be all and end all,if the media back you, then the people will follow. Its brilliant that we have a winning team, but a waste of money if we arent banging the drum in the media enough.
The new board seems to be pushing far more than the last regime, and nick settle is doing some sterling work in my opinion, but its simply not enough. This is a problem in the whole of rugby league i know, but we will never increase attendances,sponsorship and general awareness of what the panthers are about if we continue to push ourselves randomly and without a clear marketing and public relations strategy.
Saying that, im sure we will get some half decent publicity in League express and league weekly when we beat Leeds, maybe even a picture from the game

when the new chairman took over there were muted hopes for the opportunity to build a new small stadium in the town - about 4,000 capacity with i guess potential to increase. there are also a couple of venues in south blackpool that have amatuer footy played there. with a bit of a touch up they could be possible venues, near to the scorpions field

but yeah the club could do way more to promote. i've said this many times, suggested ideas, offered to help in the past but nothing ever came of it. good press in the build up to the leeds game, but that needs to be maximised locally off the back of it. maybe its for the supporters to try and do more to force the issue. i try and get a new person down to the games at woodlands whenever possible but i know that isn't enough (not every one in lytham puts the union and golf above league!). i've been on a number of wigan forums trying to encourage a few people to use the £5 offer through the summer, and i know a few people were down fo the haven game on that basis too.
