I would like to go to academy and women's games if they are still held in Richmond. Unfortunately those details are often put out on Twitter which I won't now see.

Why not set up a new twitter account Buzz & get access to the info?

Its only stated since Monkey Lover was employed by the club and instead of throwings his toys out of the pram he should pay attention to the comments from the long term fans and use them constructivly. I wonder how long it will take before this post is removed,

If there's a knock on the door Wanty, don't answer it just in case it's a demented primate.

I doubt if he will come a knocking because I am banned from the Broncos sites so they do not have to bother about my comments anymore.

I wonder if DH is aware of how some long term fans are being treated on social media, wasn't he appealing to them to bring people to games ?

I'm another 25 years plus hospitality season ticket holder who is banned from the sites and games because I didnt agree with ML treatment of fans

Hughes cares not a jot for the fans of the club. It is his and now apparently his son's to do with as they please and as far as I can see now, Milner is using the twitter account to sell more of his product whilst giving away Widnes tickets for a fiver......it beggars belief

The advert has reportedly popped up in the Evening Standard today.

Will it generate enough support to replace all the old fans they seem determined to alienate?

Yes and probably no.

Disgusted.

They'd probably have banned "Young" Harry Stammers by now, wouldn't they? (Apologies to those of you too young to remember him.)

Like I've said, I'm done with this club. Wish I could stay away from this site!

I don't reckon he gives a monkeys - anyway he's going to get himself a new set of fans at Wimbledon isn't he?

DH is the money. His words to the fan base are written for him. He will have no idea what’s going on as he will be told what he needs to know and nothing more!

It’s got to be a positive but, as I’ve said before, with so many working at home the reach of the paper will be significantly less which is a shame.
Personally if we can get back to something like 5/600 paying home fans supplemented by away fans that would be a positive for next season. Last season it was embarrassing- only Skolars and WWR had lower crowds. Sadly C19 looks like it may impact on attendances again.

"

A lot of regular faces were missing from the crowd last season,
Covid was without doubt responsible for some, but that cannot be the only reason.

It would be a start but nowhere near the growth needed to make the required progress towards DH's crowd target.

The over 100% Hike in ST prices, plus having no idea where the games would be played, plus weakest squad in living memory did far more for attendances than covid IMHO.

And the only way you will get to grow attendances is by the quality of the squad and results on the pitch. You might get a boost for the first few games, but if the team is losing more than winning, those initial fans will drift away, especially when the 2022 football season starts in August, and the team either has nothing to play for, or is in a relegation battle

Yep, any analysis of our historical gates will confirm this.

Brentford was the only ground where we left with more fans than we arrived and I'll repeat it again, we didn't fill Trailfinders in our fluked SL season, so the move to Wimbledon is more about covering the failings of the management rather than another new dawn.

As for chip wrapped advertising.....it's too early for such ATL marketing. Brand awareness is best left to the Vodafone's of the world, we need to be knocking on doors locally and reaching out to lapsed fans.....it's far cheaper and 500% more impactful.A half page in the ES is £35,000 book price......[urlhttps://www.eveningstandardcommercial.com/uploads/files/ESI_Ratecard_and-file_spec_EveningStandard310120.pdf[/url....35k would pay for a whole lot of targeted direct marketing over a period of time, whilst the ES advert is forgotten as soon as you turn the page.

'Fluked' is very harsh on the players and coaching staff that got us promoted - and for one more point would have kept us in SL.

Good to see an advert in the Evening Standard! for the first game V Widnes! someone posted on Twitter this morning, has anyone seen it?

Sorry Jaybs I avoid the Standard like the plague- but I must say the Wednesday edition , with the property section, is very absorbent and excellent for lining the cat's litter tray.

Can understand! but when I am in London, it is a Novelty ti read!

Not sure why I can't get photo's to work sometimes???

It's the same ad I previously posted when it was in the Metro.

Apparently James has tweeted a SWTrains campaign is starting soon.

Credit to the club for finally marketing, I just hope they have chosen the right method given how many now work from home, even before the recent work from home order.
