How about a couple of bucket collections this season by the u20s players to help pay for themselves?.

Just saw the owner of the snack a jack butty shop in Lowton and she said she's 'fallen out with the club and hasn't been for 2 years'. She used to go every week.
I asked why and she didn't answer.

Odd.

That's a fair point - I was in Tesco in St Helen's last weekend and their under 18's were doing exactly that by helping packing bags.

I was thinking that a simple "like" on Facebook or retweet on Twitter would also do the trick to spread the word. However a match hasn't been announced on the Facebook fan page since Swinton on the 2nd Sept last year.

To answer the advertising Question ?Yes there is very big Ad Board on Atherleigh Way , announcing all up-and coming games at the LSV ,the Posters for Shops and Pub windows will be back very soon , along with Reporter and Journal messages , there is a Lottery Club van driving round Leigh and District advertising the next home game , and as has been said Parky Pig attending everywhere , we are only short of a Barrage Balloon

.

It was mentioned about drinks and food prices , well the LSV with Legends bar , have dropped their drinks prices , done special offers of 4 pint jugs , and the food prices are very resonable now and the food is good , but how many have tried them ?

We are now at a point where the Board dont hide anything , they are very open about things , and tell the fans as it is , Rob Parker said he was going to try to get the players more involved in the Match day expeience , they are leaving very little to chance in trying to make things better ,we will never live in a Perfect world , some will always gripe , that was proved last night , but the effort is there , the Club , are doing their best , the only other Solution is PRESS GANGS

.

Glad you told me that I use to go in for a bacon barm or two or the odd butty or two now I,ll make mi own

Well said Ian

Parky Pig does good Bacon Butties

Personally i have a Dog that cant digest Waterfields Pastry , so he wont eat them .

The Pint I made re drinks was too possiblly give offers if you buy a certain number of match tickets, I regularyly read these boards and did not know about 4 pint jugs/reduced prices in the bar etc so what chance does Mr Newcomer have?

Posters will only do so much and very few people will take note, they needto be activley in the community on a constant basis

That will help to get a missing fan back, lob a brick through her window and make sure. Rather than acting like a miffed teenager it would be better for the club if you have a conversation with her for more details.

That is why I made the point earlier about contacting people directly. Hear them out and try to heal past spats, then give them incentives to return. Surely that is more effective than any poster.

To be fair, I am one who will try to use the services of businesses that support the club where ever possible. After all isn't that why a business advertises with the club in the first place?

If I want a solicitor I shall use Widdows Mason or Hattons, If I want drilling services the first company I will look up is Taylor's - And if I ever want a Steel Erection I have it on good authority Padken are the people to sort it.

You get the idea.

Better than Viagra?

I will let you know

The only way to maintain or actually increase a fan base is to constantly bring in new supporters , just begging old ones to come back is doomed to failure as all it will do is accentuate even further the reasons they stopped going in the 1 st place , nobody likes being ' Told ' what to do

A business has to provide a product or service to survive , the quality and/or price of that product/service is the only benchmark people will consider when deciding to purchase

Improve the product and enough people will pay to attend matches removing the need for any more begging plea's

i see robin van persie has done an advert at the leigh sports village.just a long shot but how about inviting the man utd team to a game (i hear a lot of them watch rugby league).promote the game in the paper and ask them to sign autographs for the kids at half time or do a draw for a dozen kids to have a penalty shoot out or something along them lines.a lot of kids have never been to the sports village and may want to come again.i know its the wrong shape ball game but how many extra could that bring through the turnstiles.

How about Justin Bieber instead , just change the sign to Be Leigh ber and he might chuck us a couple of million out of his back pocket

Trevor said last night free tickets do not work and it's not a route they will be going down and I understand the reasoning behind it but do issuing an amount of free tickets work or no?

When you go in Asda and Sainsburys why do you think there is instore sampling going on? Offering out Free samples from anything from Kenco coffee, cathedral city cheese to Muller Yoghurts and etc etc

Obvious isn't it? These companies are giving this out FREE in order for you to sample their product it then purchase it.

So does it work or not?

we dont want him,guaranteed be late no one would ever come to anythin again..

Its called ' Direct ' marketing , and it works better than ' indirect ' marketing , which is what the club does , indirect marketing is the lazy way , and quite often it can cost a lot more than the direct route

I also note the ' Branding ' issue being mentioned , once again , yes it is a good thing , providing your ' brand ' has value , but as Robbie Paul was once heard to state , everybody knows about the Leigh brand , but it has no value , so improve the brand , or dont bother

Basically we couldn't market water to a dying man

Then he has confirmed what I thought , he is an idiot

Welcome back sex bomb.

I am with you totally The Bieber will be easier to get and a bigger draw for the Girlies.

I am never going again if we cant get the Biebermeister at LSV to sing and dance with the cheerleaders at Half time.

People keep going on about the matchday experience.

Believe it or not I have been to most RL grounds and a few footie stadiums.

What do they have at Wigan Wire Leeds Man U or City apart from the game ? What's the difference between our ground and any other in that regard ?

My view is there is no difference apart from the number of fans who attend.

Ours are currently in decline as are lots of other RL clubs and I have said many times if you remove competition from sport or business for that matter you get stagnation.

We have a good team for the league we are in. Now if there was a chance we could get out of it that might make a difference.

Teams like London Broncos and a few in the top flight realise they are stuck in a league were they will always be struggling and their crowds too are in decline but are boosted by away support ours aren't.

Fev curently think they will replace a team in the top league. When their fans realise it won't happen their crowds will decline too.

I have a solution and have mentioned it many times on this board.

............ but he doesn't have the final say, does he?
