Simple isn't it , the ticket office staff have been running a RL club for years let alone the sales of tickets , but did the Stadium management put these people in positions to make decisions when they started running the place ? , no , as with most council run organisations they are incredibly badly run with massive wastage and far too many ' made up ' jobs , this is all the way from top to bottom , too many chiefs having too many meetings with agenda's focussed more on keeping themselves in ' easy ' positions rather than actually making the thing a success

it won't happen overnight. despite an excellent start in a non promotion league.

don't know about anyone else, but no advertising will make me do anything i don't want to. You can make people 'aware' of the games, offer incentives etc. WE shouldn't need that. 4100 for our first ever home game in Sooper League, tells is as it actually is.

MAGIC WAND anyone?

We were discussing this issue yesterday. Many people around town were asking how they had gone on - so there is some interest there - but I believe not enough to go to games. I think for the following reasons:-



1) games used to be mostly played on a Sunday and generally one home and then one away and so on. You got into a routine that Sunday was your rugby day. Now this is not the case and therefore you cannot have that routine. It is unbelievable that we do not have one home game in the whole of July.



2) as many have said in the past, with no promotion what is the point. It didn't matter very much if we beat Sheffield yesterday or not. We can still "tick the box" later - and even if we did we are not gauranteed promotion.



Lack of regular games and lack of incentive have lost people's interest to go to games.

the merchandise is a must! i want a sticker for my back window of my car, the bits n bobs will sell quite good!



im sure setting up a stall in the market would be great! im presuming to set a stall up you have to pay some sort of fee? maybe we could advertise the market on the screens, so we dont need to pay to sell there

ALL advertising at the LSV goes through them not the club so deals like the one proposed are not viable.

The last time they had a 'market stall' at any other time but Christmas it was an expensive flop.

I've lost my old car flags, anyone know if we have any or are planning to. Maybe take some pre-orders (100+) then get them made.

I've never bothered with car flags before as I don't tend to drive to away games, but would be interested in getting some as well now that I'm in the habit of driving to home games.

Our Andy was at one time setting up an online shop, he was beta testing it a couple of weeks ago, but again who is going to run it, AFAIK no one has any retail experience and finances have never been enough to run a shop certainly not an 'off-line' one, and whilst the LSV management doesn't seem to mind the staff selling small items what would be the feeling if they ran an a bigger stock from there? and is there anywhere where stock can be held? selling 'stuff' on match days would be out of the question so when should it be sold? and by whom? after all it has to make a profit.

Same thing with an on-line shop, the majority of sales would have to be dealt with on a fast turnaround, they are operating with a staff member short as it is so who does it?and where? and when? I have no room for stock at my place and I would think no one else at the club has.

No. It wasn't.



Saturday 6pm and Friday 7-8pm came out as being better.

One answer to most of the problems that all clubs have



Collaberation between clubs



I repeat , we are NOT in competition with any other Championship club apart from when we play them , and for a 1/2 month period in the close season when players are being signed



For the other 10 months of the year we need to be working together



Until that happens we will get nowhere

According to the E-News, something to exactly that effect will be happening for the Widnes game. Would like to think that those tickets will be in the East Stand, would look great to have all four stands well-populated.

I understand the question was asked when in SL, the logical answer would be sunday 3pm due to local away support, the suitability of HP outside peak summer and live games on Sky on Friday nights.

Now Saturday evenings must be tried 6pm ko, imho. No away support to worry about and it leaves Sunday as family day.
