Trailer is here in the works yard unused,

we couldnt get funds for it to be finished off, ie for it to be sign written etc and other issues on where it would be allowed.

Yes I am in the town centre.

well hopefully in the next few weeks we will be able to have a poster up in your window!

Yeh no probs,will display whatever you want.

Welcome to the board Mike and I'm not knocking your OP, it's something we all know we're poor at, but at work we’ve tried on many an occasion to communicate with the workforce by putting posters up with various info on. Unless you can take all other info down it can gets lost amongst everything else, or no one bothers to stop and read it.

We’ve now found that by putting ‘the message’ on the outside of their wage slips, we get more feed back, (not always a good thing!

) but as they take the message home at least we know they or perhaps their wife, sees it.

Would it be possible to try something like that? Perhaps ask shops to stick an advert on the box containing the goods their customers have purchased.

Something along the lines of printed self-adhesive address label, stuck to a Pizza box lid, lid of a meal box from local sandwich shop/Chinese, Toy’s from Argos, TV from Comet, etc? Would cost pennies to produce.

White address label Red writing perhaps saying….

Thank you for Shopping in Our Town.

Leigh Centurions V Someone
At LSV at such-a-time on such-a-day.

Maybe to much text but you get the idea, needs the shops to support it but aren’t certain shops like Munchies Sandwich Shop, Leigh DIY, etc already supportive, start with them and build on it from there.

That would certainly tie in with having shops as 'official supplier of .... for Leigh Centurions' etc as a progression from that. I think the traditional 'stationary' posters can come in handy in takeaways and the like though when people are waiting around and reading whatever is on the wall (I know the Mandarin on Leigh Road have still got a 2009 fixture list displayed!)

Hi ste, I could design small laminated flyers advertising The Leigh Centurions and showing the website address. I will put them on my counter for anyone to take.If I am given permission I will do this right away.Oh and by the way ,I do have a website and i already advertise the Leigh Centurions on a drop down menu.

Only Jonny could suggest this , what next ?Leythers in Cherry and White Turbans?

Ok billboard campaigns might be something the club looks at once we're in the super league but i do think we need to look at a way to advertise the club more succesfully - and cheaply. I think the club needs to take more advantage of its status in the community- Leigh has several big supermarkets in the vicinity of LSV (Asda, Tesco, Lidl, Sainsbury's, Aldi & Morrisons to name a few), all serving the vast majority of Leigh residents, would it not be an idea to have one A1 poster in each supermarket foyer advertising the next Centurions match? wouldnt cost much and which store manager in his right mind would refuse? in the end of the day more supporters means another box ticked, another step closer to the super league and the obvious benefits for both the club and the local economy (which would obviously benefit the supermarkets), its a win-win. A poster advertising the next match, half-time entertainment, ticket price etc in each supermarket and a few in the shops in the town centre (such as Cokey's) and im sure we'd see an increase in attendances.

BACK FROM THE LEIGH CENTURIONS GAME

By moving games to friday evenings the club would be aiming at a young ordiance,young families,couples and singles,if thats the case then FB, twitter and other outlets of this type seem to be the way forward these days,also the club need to aquire as many email addresses as possible so they can communicate as much info about leigh rl as possible,maybe once a month.

Iv'e no idea how or why but iv'e recieved a few emails from the crusaders and one today from the south wales scorpions giving me info about there clubs.

Strange that, I've been receiving emails for SW Scorpions. Where have they got my email address from? If its the RFL then I'm not sure that should be happening

In jail

I was having sex on the pitch, but some bugger turned the lights on.




Replied.

Did the 'Arris Hawk hurt

Moving games to Fridays aiming to attract younger fans and lose a load of the old ones that makes sense!

It sort of says to me ' we cant attract the youngsters, they want to watch Wigan/Saints/Wire. So we will focus on the teenagers and adults who will make Fridays a part of their social life'.

Dangerous strategy, but who knows it may work.

It makes me wonder if Beaumont had anything to do with it AGAIN haha

The Directors were looking at the money that could be saved , on Stewards if only one stand was open , like Sundays game , maybe only the West Stand used

.

In numbers, if crowds dropped 300 at a cost of £40k a season, but 10 corporates came in at £10k per season each the decision is a sound financial one.
It will be interesting how things develop.

So we could be a rich club with no fans ace!

Just a thought. Although having a club must be number one although you wouldn't think it sometimes.

So your saying that corporate could make more then the extra fans that would come on Sundays then Fridays?
Say if we sold all the boxes the main room and board room were all sold out with corporate.
How much would make compared to an extra 500 or so fans through the turnstyles?

Like most appear, I too am a little disappointed we’ve gone for the Friday nights, probably the wrong thing to say on here but I quite enjoy watching the Friday SL game. But putting my personal preferences to one side, I also don’t think it will do anything to improve attendances, I know we get very little any way but we will get even less away supporters, and with the kids now playing summer rugby I can see their fixtures moving to Friday nights.
