Probably a good example of the editorial and advertising/promotions desks pursuing different agendas and failing to talk to each other.

Quote windy one 2010="windy one 2010"I am sure the fella said first of many visits. Lets hope so. from small acorns and all that'"
He was a freelance who was hoping to sell a short piece to the ES or Metro. It would only have been a couple of sentences with a quote from a newby on how good the game was, but he obviously didn’t manage to convince editorial to run it.
To his credit he did put in an awful lot of effort to brief himself and talk to as many people as possible. Ten minutes after half time he was worried when he saw a number of freebies leaving but in the end he saw that the vast majority who stayed were happy to have come. He was particularly surprised and impressed by the number of passionate and knowledgeable southerners he came across, having believed only northerners had any affinity with the game and he was quite taken with the away crew angle (small group regularly invading northern strongholds.) So even though nothing came of this particular evening it could lead to stories down the track.
An interesting by-product of the ES exercise is that it jogs the memory of oldbies and lets a vast number of people know that RL is alive and kicking in the metropolis. One guy told us he was prompted to put in an appearance again having been reminded by the advert how good was the matchday experience down at the Stoop. That effect might account for a very small number but how many more people were made aware by the advert that RL exists in London? Just getting it into people’s consciousness has got to be worth something.
Congrats to PP on his excellent bit of PR work on the Comeallwithin board.

Probably because the game was rubbish and they fancied going to the pub instead.

Haow many is "loads"?
Seriously......I am slightly worried that after about 1,000 people or so requested freebies that the club has yet to contact them directly and ask them what they thought. An email should have been built "before' the game kicked off and the email sent as soon as the final hooter went.......IMO that is

getting anything in ES is a start......I would have suggested that a "snide' letter from a "newbie" to the sports editor at ES thanking them for the great free offer and how much of a great time was had by all...........ego boosting and fawning, but probably would have been printed
Journalists have bigger egos that Sales people

I got a email to say I'd "won" and my tickets where on route.
I suspect the way that the tickets where dispatched, tickets in envelope with address label stuck on meant that the tickets issued and redeemed on the matchday were not traceable as I suspect they didn't record which "guest" received which tickets, making a "targetted" follow up survey to those "guests" attending impossible.
As for no coverage in the paper, I can understand that space in the physical copy is limited but to find no follow up article on their website was to say a tad disappointing.
But as Morcheeba sang "Rome wasn't built in a day.".
Keep the faith.
