Its a online ticketing draw , so you wouldn’t have been able to buy tickets at game i know you know where to buy them , but we need to make it as simple as possible for neutrals who don’t know where to purchase tickets from Edited July 4, 2022 by Batley Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogerT Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Woodman yes, but usually full unless they put a bigger coach on and publicise it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Nicholas Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 John puts news out on Twitter & Facebook yet it either doesn’t get to people’s notice or it does but has no impact on whoever sees it. We ask people to share posts again to try to get it out there. But is it working? We need to sell the Grand Draw tickets, we need to get bigger gates than 800, we need to engage with people. We are trying but it appears we are failing. Anybody any ideas how we can improve because we are frustrated and not sure what to do. We let people in for £11 but still can’t get 1,000 there. We win games and play decent rugby but still.... There must be something we can do but are not doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Nicholas Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 As for coaches then Supporters Club would still run a coach if could get people to go I am sure. A 50 seater needs 50 people to make it pay not 10 and cost of a coach now is ridiculous so it can’t run at a loss. I so wish we could take a full coach to away games but I don’t think we can. If I am wrong please let 50 tell me I am and we will rectify it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The official club website needs completely revamping and utilising to advertise the clubs commercial opportunities. There are some splendid hospitality lounges in the Long Stand built around 4 years ago with the help of lottery funding, but no mention of these on the website at all. Also did the boxes ever get named after ex players apart from one after Simon Wilson? A great choice by the way. I've never seen it publicised if they did.

Kevin Nicholas Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 I keep getting told websites are oldhat and everything is social media so is this wrong? I have no idea. The boxes in K2 Stand are sold out with season long sponsors apart from one big one near half way line. They were not built with lottery funding but with the help from sponsors and monies from finishing in Middle8’s in 2016 by the way. The boxes have got signs on with names of explayers but due to lockdown maybe we have not publicised them enough which we will do now. This is interesting for fans but regrettably doesn’t get more people to Club. So there is plenty of things that we are open to criticism for but moving forward how can we get it out there to get more people watching us is a massive problem which we have not solved and if we are to survive we need to. We as a Club are not alone by the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barfieldlad Posted July 4, 2022 Author Share Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) Thanks for your reply. I would think that a companies website is the first port of call for finding out all about a particular company, and that it's website should be doing everything it can to sell and promote said company to it's customers and more importantly potential customers, but maybe I'm old hat? Also with part of our central funding being determined by traffic and hits to the website, that is surely a worthwhile reason to have a site of the quality to attract visitors? Thanks for clearing up how the boxes were funded. I was told one of the boxes was paid for by lottery funding to double up as an office for Craig Lingard, but it appears I was told wrong. Which other players apart from Simon are the boxes named after? Edited July 4, 2022 by barfieldlad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerT Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) Hello there Kevin, Yes twitter and facebook are important and so is the Website, I don't use them often, but tonight I have for the first time shared about the draw on both platforms. Edited July 4, 2022 by RogerT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Nicholas Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Correct that first box was a Community office and we did get some funds towards that. Now the office is the portacabin lower down where we got no further funding. Thinking about it that first box could be used for sponsors on match days if not used by the Community team. As from this year website traffic has been removed by Rfl as a funding factor for whatever reason. We will get out there the names of all boxes. I am not saying the website is of no use just apparently not the first port of call perhaps nowadays. So if looking for particular information about the Club maybe but not the first place to browse for news and not the place to prompt people from. Still should be a good source of information and news though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody any ideas how we can improve because we are frustrated and not sure what to do. There must be something we can do but are not doing. On the point of engaging, I remember some time back that Redditch Bulldog via this forum offered his help with the website to the club free of charge, as he said he had expertise in this field. I don't know whether the club ever took up this offer, but if not, would probably be best speaking to him about the relevance of the website and how useful it could be for the club. I seem to remember Supertyke who used to run a very competent unofficial site offering his help too. Further on the point of engaging, and more concerning, I heard on Sunday from a club shareholder that shareholders are not being invited to meetings and haven't been since long before covid. If the club isn't even engaging properly with its shareholders, it doesn't seem surprising that it's finding it difficult to engage with anyone else.

Bill H Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 There doesn't seem to be an obvious way to order more than one ticket at a time. If there isn't a way or if the way is not obvious then it will have a severe impact on the draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
