Facebook page. The club have sold approx. 2200.

Can't understand the club taking the mobile shop away from the City centre just 3 days before the ticket deadline. Would've made more sense to use the unit and people for some late canvassing amongst the shoppers.

I agree it would've been beneficial to have it open, particularly on Saturday.

100% agree, perhaps its a staffing issue, centralising all staff at one place may be beneficial though, i don't know.

Must admit it seems a strange time to shut it with the deadline so close. Guess its a rent due issue and theres no point renewing if we are opening a shop shortly. But with that and the lack of real marketing of the offer it gives scope for the offer to be extending a touch longer if the targets not hit.

If we are 300 short with a few days left (and more importantly a pay day looming) i think we will reach the target, which is excellent.
I think we have missed a trick in hindsight though, the deal has not been particularly well marketed, if it had who knows how many more we could have sold?
Lesson for next year perhaps, however i was not at all confident that we would get anywhere near the target so its a modest pat on the back for the club, and it shows that along with a good deal the supporters are backing what AG and co are doing and that has got to be a good thing if we are to grow from strength to strength.

the cynic in me thinks that they would love to just fall short so they could claw that extra £75 of the adult books

Think they'd find themselves handing out a lot of refunds first.

I'm sure the club are aware of this too.

Is that a new sideline?

Is that for blue members?!!!!

I have to say that although marketing has never been WTW strong point, I have seen this in more places than probably any other initiative we've tried. I'm sure an experienced marketeer could put forward different ideas but you can't say people don't know about it.
I'd say if we reach the target is a direct result of improved marketing. It's on the web site, on at least 2 social media sites, on posters, announced at the ground on match day, on tv.....what more do you want?
The quality could obviously improve if we went to Saatchi and Saatchi but you can't know ck the volume or effort.

Improved marketing, most definitely (but then that wasn't difficult was it?)

Still think we could have done more - used the boards around the city (which admittedly have gone now), advertised in Yorkshire Post\Evening Post, had staff out around the city centre more (happily being addressed this weekend).

we could have a new calendar well Phil but only if your Mr Dec in a floppy santa hat

i think the target may be reached or as near as!

we moved a few a months ago and just a call check adress is correct

I have tried and tried again to contact Davide Longo at the club to verify disabled and carer access. Have been trying since the Bradford game and he has never been available. Well enough is enough and that is 2 from their target.

Have you spoken to bluejayaway? He might be able to help.

i once went for a curry in town. there was a toyota avensis with wakefield trinity logos on it parked in a disabled spot outside (car park opposite wilkinson's - or tescos as it once was). mr longo was inside eating a meal with his mates. there was no blue badge in the car. don't expect somebody who has been promoted above their level of ability to act competently. it’s bound to lead to disappointment

Its a shame to hear you are having problems, i thought this was all behind us and we'd moved on.

Getting mine and the beetroot muncher's tomorrow!

"a modest pat on the back" isn't a criticism, it's a realisation that we've done a good job but we could and should have done it better.
Adverts in the YP, YEP, Lge Exp and Wakefield Express, used a larger presence from the playing staff in the city centre and the local communitity, billboards etc....
A lot of what we did was preaching at the converted, we should have looked wider and will need to look wider if our support base is to develop.
As I said, I didn't think we would reach the target, now I feel we weren't as proactive as I think we could have been.
Either way as I also stated, it's hindsight.

Is there any reason you have to speak to him specifically?

I say that only because I got tickets for some disabled lads earlier this season, and one of the shop staff was able to tell me everything I needed about disabled access and entitlement for carers etc.

I'm not making excuses mind - if you left a message, someone should get back to you.

I've just sent you an email

Elston on Twitter this morning. Hopefully he is right.

I wonder if glitter will fall from the roof and sirens be sounded for the lucky 2500th person???!!!!!
