Of course advertising works, whether it's tv or posters, it's called brand awareness!

Bingo. What is Fax's brand at the moment? It's that we are a begging club, a club that people should feel sorry for. In the latest article about the game on LRL our CEO is worried that we may not get 850 paying customers through the gate against one of the best teams in SL. If that is the attitude from the person at the top then what hope do we have?

I get that this is a tough sell game for many reasons, Ive said myself on TRL that the draw really does not appeal to me and in my opinion is literally the worst draw that we could get with no hope of progression and a low crowd but I saw the Catalan squad and saw Sam Tomkins name and had forgot he was still playing and straight away i'm thinking how great it is to see one of my favorite players of all time possibly playing at the Shay. Catalans certainly have some players that could have helped sell this game for Fax but the way this game has been marketed we may as well have been playing Dudley Hill.

Well we’re not advertising on TV or debating the value of advertising in general just the means of doing it and in context would a poster work for you then Tony?

Do you know of anyone that it has done?

Would a poster bring the price of admission down or motivate someone to spend the current asking price of £25 on something they either have lost or have no interest in on a freezing Saturday for a game there odds on to lose likely by a significant amount?

By the way the club have done this in the past and it made no difference to attendances but If someone thinks that a few posters / flyers would make any difference for this game above and beyond the other platforms that the club have used such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, then that’s up to them and is one thing and is nothing more than an opinion based on nothing more than that!

But when their great idea isn’t taken up it’s another thing for those people to use it as an angle to belittle what the club have done and somehow connect that to the major issues affecting the entire game shows very little awareness of the reality never mind awareness of brand.

The reality is the game as a whole is on it’s ar%e, the club just like the rest are caught up in it all with their own set of individual issues involving the ground, tax of a dormant company from years ago etc etc etc, there simply aren’t any quick fixes for the club or for the game as a whole.

For a fact the 2 remaining directors have personally given up their health and their wealth (to the sum of hundreds of grand) (and serious illnesses) affecting their lives and their wives and larger families.

For months they have been battling the huge challenges that we know something of and trying to keep the club afloat, at the same time and currently their working hard behind the scenes on trying to get new ownership in that can really take the club forward so please forgive them for having other things on their minds and not using a few posters / flyers and take that into account when talking about awareness.

You'd be surprised at the "power of the poster", faxcar! There's a poster stuck on my local's wall when they decide to hold a pub quiz. It's not the same day every week so it's not as though the attendees turn up automatically .... and it must work because quz nights are well attended. Then our local annual rush bearing festival is advertised through banners and leaflets. And it's packed. Then we have the regional galas getting plugged by banners, etc ....... how else would people know? I could go on! (But I won't :wink: )

Super 1st half from Fax. This team deserves some support.
