Any increase in sales can only be seen as a positive.

Lots of different figures being quoted in recent weeks. A job for Radio 4's More or Less programme



As dddooommm says any increase is good news. Let's face it, we've been through some bad times and we're still a fair distance from SL. Odsal in February isn't going to be a big draw to a lot of people. What the club needs to do next is go out and get a new audience like Peter Deakin did in 95-96. I get the feeling we're not quite doing that.

But off Topic, bue-chip company AON joining our sponsorship.

I suppose it's an upgrade from Manchester United for them

This is good news, some national/international companies, rather the local. Another step in the right direction.

Agreed.
The social media stuff seems to be pretty good. What else is going on (obviously I'm not party to that!)? Back in the day local radio ads and billboard ads were prevalent, though we may not nave the budget now.

Can we re-engage more of the 10,000 (ish) fan base we had back in the hey day? Surely contact details are on file to try?

Schools was always the other sure fire way to spark interest - free tickets and parents dragged along and hopefully getting hooked.

Season ticket holders - Bring a mate for say a fiver a few times through the campaign may also bear some fruit ....

I’ve heard local radio adverts over the past 2months, tied in with the early bird ticket sales.

Also big push for the kit launch today at the Broadway. Is it getting through to the target audience though?

Key is to get engagement with those who are completely new to the game.

I still think they could do more with local amateur sides but appreciate perhaps resources aren't there, especially with part time training.

But can they do something where they invite clubs junior teams to a training day/evening with 1st team players? Send them away with a free ticket to next match etc.
