Generally these things need to be time limited or just for specific games, but I do agree get more folk through the door and some will come again
Just hand out free tickets for the indivual games concerned, if it is organised (I know i'm asking a lot of the club by current standards) they can have them printed and go out and about to schools and hand them out, what better than for the players to split into teams of 3 or 4 and go see the kids themselves, hell if we had a decent mascot they could accompany them.
I know for a fact that many kids confronted with 4 rugby players and a mascot chatting and throwing a ball about with them for an hour or so and then being given free tickets would be home as quick as a shot pestering to be taken.
Yet again it comes back to why are we the fans coming up with these ideas and the fact that the mascot is an utter abortion that is neither use nor sodding ornament.

If the golden angel scheme worked and made the club money and gained loads more fans they would have continued to run it. Therefore it didn't work!
They club needs better advertising! posters, flyers, radio campaigns etc. On match days there isn't a single poster telling passers by that there is a match on.

No one said it gained them loads of money. I don't get why they stopped it because it DID work no doubt about it. It just seems that as soon as trish left the whole marketing/sponsorship/matchday experience left as well.

If i recall rightly the sponsers paid for the free tickets to the games so the club did make money, however with the current dross on the pitch no decent pre match entertainment etc etc why would any free ticket holders want to come back when the current fan base are only turning up out of habit. I actually brought two young new faces to the celtic game the only bit they enjoyed was the hotdog.
