keighley Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 So, add in casual walk ups and away fans and the mythical 2,500 average that used to be the standard for a SL licence will easily be achieved. Good for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futtocks Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Those ticket holders are likely to see good things too, going by the team's form.

Krytensmate Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 That's what happens when people get off their asses and work at it. Good for them It helps when the fans can see some tangible reward for a successful season , in fact up to now other than the move to FT ( funded in no small measure by the increased central funding ) and some good recruitment the club havent actually done much if any marketing What is needed if this new structure is to succeed is further increases in central funding further down the Championships Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweaty craiq Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 Yip, no marketing at all, bar exposure on Local TV, National Press, Sky, BT Sport etc its amazing how that suddenly happens - magic. Town is talking RL again, every school assembly is being visited with players and trophy's etc Probably the most talked about club in the close season. Give me No Marketing every day of the week.

It seems odd that there are all these thousands of people waiting in the wings for the structure of the game to change. I would hope that people who aren't 'fans', or who are even new to the game are attracted to the centurions. hard work, imagination, positivity works and it pays off in other areas: positivity breeds positivity.

To be fair craig the TV and press has been down to the recruitment , wouldnt you say ? , and we've been visiting the schools for years ,not always with a trophy true ,I was meaning more around town marketing , especially as I still believe most still dont know what this season is all about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes our ave in 2004 of around 1,800 was poor considering we had Tommy Martyn that year playing some great stuff , this season with guaranteed ( hopefully competitive for the 1 st time in decades ) games against Bradford and London with potential matches against 4 other current SL clubs though is without doubt looking interesting to our wider support base How many ' new ' fans we attract is the big question and challenge ,that is where I would like to see more work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could be giving nothing to the lower leagues and going in to an SL season with a 2.5m salary cap and a £2m central marketing budget and bang on another 2k to SL clubs and end the season with an 11k average. Conversely we could give a flat 1.5m to every club and cut the SL SC to that and have the championship SC as that, we have a tight and tense competition in the middle tier getting 6-7k people every game, but SL loses even more of its best players and only averages 8k, with the accompanying loss of sponsorship and visibility. Hows everyone else's season ticket sales? there doesn't seem to be much shouting from the rooftops about how this new systems is attracting people to SL clubs, or C1 clubs, or even all championship clubs.

sweaty craiq Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 Do people really think that the virtually guaranteed significant average attendance increases in all divisions will not be heavily promoted as proof the changes are successful, it will be factually correct and if it changes the perception of a declining sport then Brilliant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree with that , and I'd expect an initial drop overall , success would be for all clubs attendances overall to grow from that starting point as more ' bored ' fans return and bring with them new fans as interest and a sense of importance is spread further than the top of SL who have won anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padge Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Does that mean early 90's was much higher than SL years? Are you saying the game was healthy in the early 90s? Or are you saying attendances were higher?
