I will if we can get a bunch of us together (wearing our replica tops etc).
I'll do ASDA if we can get permission to give out flyers just outside their doors (again provided we have several to join in as the more fans / colours the more we get noticed).

I will too but my printer does not work. I shall talk to Lynda about it this evening at the Poker night.

Fickle fans who come on a good deal to watch us play Catalans will not attend again should we get hammered, no matter how good we think we are, sorry to be negative and all that, just a realist I suppose

Agreed but the ideas are right, for me the Train cup semi would be a better target game, and then hopefully a town centre good luck etc for the final and build from there.

I doubt there is a single rugby fan in town who does not know how well we are currently doing.

If he/she cannot be bothered to get off their backside to watch it, what good are posters and banners?

The town needs to ask itself if they want a decent team because we've got one and there is still a barrel of excuses why not to come.

Not disagreeing with what you say but they can help our cause.
I went watching Fylde RU based on seeing one advertising there game, not a massive Fylde RU fan but a occasional watcher, heard they had done well, lost touch , saw the advert , spent £35.00 on the day.
Will be going again.

Have to say the posters / banners are more useful in trying to tell those who don't know about us who we are so in a way it targets 2 sets of people, lapsed support and new support.

Lets be honest a poster on the bypass (like we used to have) would be a massive move in the right direction if only to keep our club in the eyes of the thousands of motorists who drive past it.
How many people have read the quote '(re)living the dream' whilst driving down the bypass ,a poster around there would be handy

Don't get me wrong Demon it was just a example, we could use any game to build it up.
Have to say I brought 3 people to the Widnes game in the cup who hadn't been for a while and after 30mins thought I don't believe this, let down again (I can't repeat what those who came with me was saying).
Luckily it came good in the end

Is that the same trailer some fans chipped in for??
Fans/Directors raise a couple of grand to help the club and it never gets used is the problem becoming clear?
Also the numptie quoting 2500 avg gate at home forgets to add 2 games v biggest draws is what the figures are based on ignoring NRC games, the 2500 is of course much lower than the corresponding fixtures last year.

WE can do so much more but the club must take the lead and engage those able and willing to help, not let them spend money on a vehicle never to be used. When was the last fans forumn - NOT LISA !! This is the tool to start things.

'thick', 'boy' and 'numpty' now. Cheers Maurice.

It's no wonder people in Leigh don't bother with the club. Makes me feel like not making an effort either.

Re: Clubs cry for help : Tue Apr 19, 2011 8:08 pm  

Do you make an effort now?
Quoting irrelevant stats doesn't count btw
We have a challenge and we need to meet it head on.
