Another good signing for me and again could lead to other things. The off field matters are just as interesting for me as the player announcements as its helps gauge where the club is going in the near future. Certainly looks very positive especially when you compare where we was just 5 years ago!

Good stuff
Would love to see more down the Shay, lets snare some fairweathers and get some new people hooked on the match day experience.
I would love it for more people to come down and take a look at the Champions, we need to cash in, for years now I have wanted them to pick a game and get as many in as possible for as little as possible. Has to be a decent game though and the offer should be available to away fans and neutrals. Go for it.

Did you not do a game last year where you gave a away tickets at a local show and got more extra people to the shay than attended the actual show where you handed out tickets. I would try this ploy again as it seems a winner  |

The RFL lent us their manual: "How to submit an license application by unconventional methods".
It was a one off excercise, sanctioned by the Red Hall goons for the purpose of playing along with a sham procedure, set up by the RFL. In so much as it allowed us to drop in on their land in a jellyhopper and submit an application, it was a success. It would serve no purpose whatsoever in any other circumstance but will be used next by Toulouse in 2014  |

Welcome onboard Tony, I think your marketing expertise will come in really handy and the Board needs strenght in numbers.
I must also say a big thankyou to Matthew Turner who pushed the club forward in its communications last year hugely, keep it going mate.
The thing we need is to get outside the hardy 2500 to 3000 fanbase we have and reach those who have not come down the Shay ever and may be tempted to try it.

You mean the Agricultural Show where over 20,000 people attended during the course of the day? Get your facts right before you spout drivel |

Is it usable ?
And I am deadly serious , if your marketing bloke wants to attract and keep new local fans he needs to create a better atmosphere at the Shay , it is a good layout now with the ' patio ' area , having a decent away following in the North stand  would help with that
Just a thought , what if Leigh were willing to do the same for the return match on the Thursday night ? , what do you think the ' take up ' would/could be ? |

this guy knows what he wants,,
TEN thousand fans watching top flight rugby league at the Shay.
That is the long-term target of Halifax's new marketing director Tony Abbott.
www.halifaxcourier.co.uk/local/A ... 6679766.jp
would be great for him to do that, and i for one sure hopes he does,  |

I know about 25 years or so ago, John Stabler the then chairman of York RL went around every school in the York RL area giving away free tickets to the kids. His thinking was that if a child wanted to go to the game an adult would have to accompany them. I think it didn't work as 20 kids would go with 1 parent,but it could be improved. Giving tickets away to kids that lets them in for free if they bring a non season ticket holding adult for example.
for those kids that parents are season ticket holders already they could bring a friend of the family. I am also sure that the club could also arrange a young supporters club for season ticket holding children.
Its just a thoughticon_biggrin.gif

Free kids tickets dont work
The Skircoat stand needs to be sponsored by the council , they pay the stewarding costs , you put families in it free
No family ever gets more than one ticket per season
You put transport on for away fans giving you all 4 sides of the Shay being used , a leap of faith is required |

I like your thinking, but being treated as a normal human being for wanting a bottle of pop with a top on (to keep the bubbles in) would be nice at the LSV.
Seriously, you have some good thoughts, but most clubs will want to try and maximise home support given the lack of numbers from most teams (Widnes/Leigh/Fax excepted). |

They worked at Odsal
No chance of the council paying for anything and I wouldn't expect them to do so due to the cutbacks they are having to make elsewhere. |

Their council used to give them 80k a season as a softener though.

I wouldn't be too surprised that your marketing guy says he is aiming for 10,000 fans. As far as I can remember, with the licences last time, 10,000 average attendances was on the famous list of 10 criteria that you could score points on. The Widnes chairman has never said he wanted 10,000 whilst in our division, but he did state back in 2008 that it was important that we demonstrated that we could get 10,000 if we were in SL. Even in Wakefield's announcement www.wakefieldwildcats.co.uk/2011 ... statement/ they state that not achieving 10,000 crowds will count against them. Basically all the clubs have been told by the RFL that they will only give you a licence if they believe you have the potential to get around 10,000 fans week in, week out. Obviously Quins and Crusaders don't really need to worry about this criteria as far as the RFL are concerned, but from a financial point of view, I think 10,000 is also viewed as a magic figure where you can remain competitve but also self sufficient. Any SL side not getting 10,000 fans either have to rely on outside investment or make cut backs on the field. |
