Free Game Friday night at the galpharm between the Giants and Catalans, spreading the word to see if any Fax fans fancy watching potential super 8s competition.

Just log on website and order a ticket it's as easy as that good value for any common rugby league fan out there.

Yep. I remember the last Giants v Catalans horror.

Maybe that's why its Free

So do I,got the attendance it deserved too around 300.

Can't make this one. I'm washing my hair!

Hang it out once it’s washed and head on downs.

Lol! I'm saying nowt!

Must be using same shampoo as me Wash & Go. Washed it and it went!!!!
Didn't Koukash do something similar, re giving away free tickets, at Salford before he left?
Warning bells there for me if they are having to resort to that tactic.

It's all about getting people on mailing/marketing lists for future events

it was 2300 the last time in the cup not 300.

think be more 7k or more this time, nothing new we have done this before against catalan years ago and 10k turned up

Are you related to Diane Abbott?

Maybe officially 2300 but i watched the game for 30 mins before i realised it hadn't been played behind closed doors...

They must have counted everybody 3 times inc players & officials.It must be my eyes im off to Vision-Express on Monday

good sensible chat on this forum i see

closing in on near 4000 tickets sales now for this game

there will be 4000 season ticket holders there in anycase.. more the merrier !

be a tough match against catalans who are on the up like ourselves.

I'll go....

Oh hang on I forgot, I would rather shove wasps up my arris.....

...but unless either Leeds or Wakefield collapse, at least one of Huddersfield and Catalans will be playing in the M8's in a couple of months. I'm happy travelling to Sale this weekend and paying to support my own team thanks. Good luck with the exercise, and you'll maybe get some folk to send marketing messages to (I'd use a temporary e-mail if I was interested), but cheap (or free) tickets come back to bite when you eventually put the prices back up to sensible levels.

I fell asleep the last time these two teams played and was shown on Sky. The only thing that kept waking me up was a cow bell that kept being clonked every time more that two passes were strung together.
Product will need to be a lot better on the field to entice the 10k people turning up this time to come back again, or the job will be a waste of marketing time and money.
Good luck with it and keep the Fartown flag flying.

Sales? Really? I thought you were giving them away. Dumb idea. Some people will take anything just because it's free and probably half of those 4,000 won't bother turning up on the night. After all, it's cost them nothing anyway and they'll probably revert to their original plan of watching Portugal v Spain in the pub. And as for the other half, very unlikely they'll pay next time out (seeing that they haven't paid before).

Charging say a tenner is another matter, however. Might only get 2,000 taking up the offer, but will net 20 grand for starters and more likely be repeat attendees given they're paid summat this time round.

Its a shame to see genuine Fax fans slating another club for trying promote themselves/the game and open up to new fans.

..or even entice some of our fans to watch the mighty giants? Nah, stuff 'em!

Doesn't look a great att at Salford tonight either

Shocking match. I wish I'd watched Love Island. A stranger switching this on, seeing the poor quality together with an empty stand and 3 sply populated stands, would laugh if told it was "top tier rugby league". Nay, not just rugby league but SUPER league!

It's about time these 2 jokers stepped aside. They've had their turn and time for refreshing new clubs with keener support.

I note it didn't give the attendance at the end. Less than 2,000 I would say.

If that is the case why don't Fax reduce to a tenner and get 4000 down bringing atmosphere to the game ?
Not a criticism just a comment.

Not sure if any of you on here watch Rugby League Backchat (Journo's from League Weekly/League Express and a freelance) on Freesport on a Thu but they discussed the merits of bottom 4 SL and top 4 teams Championship. Ironically they all agreed that the two who played in last nights game were not adding value to SL and should go. (last nights attendance looked embarrassing and nowhere near the business metrics they rammed down Fax's throat as a fail when Franchise was around) Huddersfield's attendance was poor inthe Challenge cup v Catalan.They also felt that Toronto Tolouse and Leigh were the only ones who would add value to SL. Fax and Fev were dismissed. I also watched the new SL CEO on Sky build up. He can certainly talk the talk! Allegedly£400k salary being paid by the SL clubs for this guy. Seems out of proportion to Whitehaven on public appeal mode; SL attendances at the lower reaches of 2,000 for bottom 4 clubs and Huddersfield giving free tickets away to attract people in.
