Did we not have a mini-season ticket last year?

I know we've had them in the past.

Another one on a similar line is on the May Day bank holiday could we do something to remember Wembley '87 and past Halifax successes to try and encourage extra supporters. If you wear a halifax shirt or have a blue and white scarf you can get a discount on the game (such as £4 or half price).

Maybe the club could have past players paraded and make a day of it for club. Make it an annual day to remember how good our club is.

This could help shirt trade and scarfs too.

At the Cass game on Saturday I was talking to Gary Stephens who asked me if I was going to organise another `87 reunion so he could attend I replied I doubt it.Came out of Cass` hospitality and bumped into Paul Dixon and Wilf George ,someone said Roy Dickinson was there too.So there is still lots of interest from them all.So I think it would be a good idea to have a special day for all the past players to attend.

What about a sticker system where if you go to 8 home games in the season you get the ninth one free or something along those lines. Maybe get in for £5. That way it isn't as cheap as buying a season ticket but for those who can't make every game maybe it's a way of encouraging them to make as many as possible.

They can receive a card and the person on the turnstile can give them a sticker to put on there card at each game if they pay the £14. There are 10 league games and 2 nothern rail games at home so gives them a bit back for coming.

Obviously it's better to buy a season ticket but just a thought.

Just an idea, but it's an option i guess.

*In the way MacDs do there coffee offer, where you get a free one after six.

How about something aimed at the local junior teams. We could have a come in your kit day (during our sunny summer days ).

The parent and child can get in for £10 or something instead of £15.

Obviously this is dependent on when we play over that weekend.

This is an idea I suggested in my presentation when I was shortlisted for the job as marketing executive. (I lost out to Paul Ebray (?) in the end).

what about discount entrance fee for first hundred in or something, that way theyll end up spending more in the bar

just so you all know. . halifax rlfc gets nothing from bar sales in the ground. . all monies over the bar go to the council. . so if we had a really big game at the shay, say st helens in the cup, we would get extra revenue from ticket sales but nothing whatsoever from the sales of drink/food in the stadium

this looks likely to be the case in the new stand too
