Should we just accept your offering of 1500 (which you know wont be achieved|)

Why shouldn't it be achieved?

Not in terms of paying customers obviously but if the club market properly with freebies widely distributed.

But then they already dropped the ball at the Olympic Stadium whilst Skolars made comparative hay.

What the hell are you going on about? Do you tend to drink a little in the afternoon?

Will you be wanting the playing staff, ground staff, etc counted in the numbers?

Again provide some straightforward criteria and we will all have a go hey!

Attendance figures are flexible with a bit of creative accounting.

Saracens give away thousands of tickets & declare record attendances off the back of it.

It shouldn't be beyond even Broncos to canvas Ealing & surrounding areas.

Hell post tickets free through letter boxes if need be.

Very good point. For the first game in a new home we should expect at least 1500 even if it is primarily from giveaways to Ealing Trailfinders fans, locals etc. Just expecting the same old faces is lazy and does not offer a sustainable future. The attitude that sees 400-700 as acceptable is symptomatic of the problems with the club.

Re: Brave New Dawn : Mon Dec 21, 2015 8:31 pm  

You sayr skolars made comparative hay, you have no evidence of that until you see what numbers turn up at skolars first game.
If I recall correctly when it was announced that London broncos were involved in the Ealing Xmas lights event I believe you belittled that as a waste of time and effort, so engaging with the local community is wrong, not engaging with the local community is wrong! Interesting view.
How do you know that the club will not offer incentives to the locals, doing it now would be pointless the first game is still a couple of months away

Re: Brave New Dawn : Mon Dec 21, 2015 8:34 pm  

2,000 should be the target with anything close to 60% of that seen as a success. Freebies, especially to local businesses are fine, so long as we get data back in return to get the tele-sales, sorry.......marketing person to canvas throughout the season.
In my opinion that is....

Exactly! Genuine question, can Trailfinders hold 2,000? I only ask because I thought the Hive held 5-6k and that ground has a large grandstand running the full length of the pitch and terracing behind both goals. Trailfinders has what, a couple of hundred seats in the pavilion/ stand? A couple of hundred more in the stand thing behind one goal? How many can fit in standing around the pitch? Is 2k possible, physically? Genuine question as I say.

I very much doubt there will be 3020 officials present.
