Good idea but bearing in mind its a week before a lot of people will be going to Perpignan and cost as well as taking annual leave could be an issue?
I don't disagree with it I'm sure it would be great of we can get a good following certainly free transport and reduced tickets would help

But the fact its a Friday night would put a lot off I think

Yeah, there are pros and cons on whichever match picked. I've asked club for official sales to saints last few seasons, and then set a target with that in mind. As mentioned on here , my 2000 may be a touch optimistic

, but I still think the club/we should challenge ourselves.

The key is to try and make it seem like an event within the normal season. Bit similar to what Wigan did with their 'big one' themed matches over the last few seasons. Need the club to buy into that, which hopefully they will.

yep wigan did the big one with us and our turn out was very poor! think it was £5 a ticket too!

anything near 800 would be great

prob had 400/500 at wire and that wasnt on tv

Interesting feedback from club. Last year we took 220 to saints. With the free travel we took 750. We took 450 to wire.

If we could match the 750 that would be a real result. If club were to contact everyone that went to wire as targeted sales. Run concentrated marketing as an event fixture, I think we could certainly achieve it.

As fans we have the fanzine, Facebook, the supporters group, this forum.

The club is going to be targeting the magic event as a similar thing.

this could work if the club started pushing it and maybe some of the sponsors could get involved, like has been said before, if the club can offer free/ subsidised travel it could help.
although our away followings have been pretty decent so far this year, saints on a friday night has always been a hard pull, as there are no directs trains and it takes over 2 hours to get back.

also don't forget a lot of our away support is form based, if we are on a bad run then people just won't be bothered going
