This ones as old as the hills but walking through town today, I really feel we are missing a trick by having next to no presence in the city centre.

Obviously this costs money and money is tight, but for instance last time I went to Bradford they had the "Welcome to Bradford - Home of the Bradford Bulls" - sign in the interchange. Why not something like that? Maybe get it painted on the double 2 bridge?



Does the club or even the trust have funds to produce posters or stickers that could be handed out to businesses in the city centre for display? A volunteer facepainter giving the kids a RW&B face - anything really!

Just feel that keeping the "brand" in the local populations eyeline, if it can be done for relatively cheap could be a great asset.

I know what your saying, but is it actualy worth the cost

How many people in Wakefield DONT know we have a Rugby League team against how many do know, but choose not to attend games.

How many people in the world don't know there is a soft drink called Coca Cola against how many do know, but choose not to drink it?

With any advertising it's cost versus reward and if there is a positive reward to be had, then surely we would already be taking out extra advertising.
However, if there isn't a return or, it's negligible then MC isn't going to spend brass.

The old "A" boards did keep folk informed but, sometimes the new fixtures seemed to take ages to be changed ??

From what Michael Carter has said there is no money to advertise, not that there is a reluctance to spend it. Hopefully the new commercial manager will get some much needed revenue in and use some of her experience at a sports club who everybody knows about but still feels the need to advertise their presence at the local airport.

the cheapest way of advertising is winning trophy's, get that right and then skys the limit

Exactly my point

Aren't leaflets, posters etc old hat now?

Surely social media has taken over??

And Snowie IS bang on! Lots more people will come watch a winning team!

Unless they live in Huddersfield

A trophy winning team is all when and good, but how do you acquire one when not enough punters come through the door to facilitate it.

so I could be wrong

Your never wrong Snowie ,my old mucker.

Probably impossible to give an answer to this question but I would think it's actually quite a lot of people.
Wakefield has changed immeasurably since the glory days. Successive generations of people from the Asian sub continent, Africa and now Eastern Europe have arrived in the city with zero knowledge of RL let alone Trinity. With very little success and very little advertising presence how are they going to know about the culture, heritage and history of WT?
I've always thought the club has missed a trick with the population around BV. It would cost relatively little to send circulars to all houses ia certain area around the ground offering some concession to attend a game (as recompense for the inconveniences very other week????). Get the locals involved.
Also - every Road sign showing that you're entering Wakefield could have a sponsored, "the Home Of Wakefield a Trinity" sign. There should be one at Westgate station and it he bus station too.
