do you still believe in santa? If you want CPA deals, go to groupon or grabone or whatever they're called....

Give me 500k over 3 years (wages and budget) and I'd deliver a 10% year on year increase in attendances.
2800 + 10% = 3,080 +10% = 3,388 +10% 3,726............if I hit the average in year 3, pay me twice that for the same increase over the following 3 years....The result is 4,959 average at a cost of 1.5 million.......over 6 years.
Give David Hughes has wasted 1.5 million on one years cap...I'd look at my offer as being better VFM.

By the way...people generally aren't sure about working with me....I am slightly rough around the edges....but within a couple of weeks when the results start coming in......they get over their fears.

I don't suppose these will settle the club renaming argument but here we go, all from the 2011 news archive on the club website. You may find more. www.londonbroncosrl.com/news/72.php www.londonbroncosrl.com/news/69.php www.londonbroncosrl.com/news/198.php www.londonbroncosrl.com/news/207.php Wow, didn't we have high hopes

Thanks for that BOI but you won't shut Gutters or Jaybs up as they both like to have the last word.

FFS, talk about two bald men fighting over a comb...

I will believe it when it all happens! (if it ever does) I have known a lot of people in life who can do the talk!



Wish sometimes I was bald Dan! when I was at school always had it cut every two weeks and still do! so I need the comb badly......

No, what you need badly is a pair of friggin mittens so that you can`t use your keyboard!!!

LOL!

You and Dan are not doing too badly for the number of posts! in only a few years, I have only done a small amount more than Dan since 2002 when the forum became RLFans.com Just can't say nothing when someone keeps coming up with the same marketing over & over again, if his CV is as good as he makes it out to be, I feel David Hughes would have sent a private jet for him!

I did marketing for over 20 years but I would not like the job.

Good points DSWG, apart from the potato comments which are well over my head

I am getting less interested in the Broncos because of our results, the general attitude of the club, coach and players the effects have this have been:

I am too embarrassed and can't be bothered to bring friends any more, when they ask I bring them but hardly ever happens nowadays

I will only go to home games because I have a season ticket and enjoy seeing some of the people that go, if I hadn't already commited I doubt I would bother. Away games are out of the question now apart from seeing saints new ground.

And I'm less interested in this board because it's never interesting anymore, it's regurgitated arguments all the time with less and less contributors. I used to like talking about matches that had happened and were upcoming and talking to other fans about where they were watching matches and who was travelling to where. (fair play to Paddock for still spotting cheap train ticket deals) but all in all the forum can depress me as much as the team

My CV is more gripping that a basket of Robert Ludlum thrillers, more saucy than 500,000 shades of Grey and more classy than all of flemings Bonds combined.



I told you on the last page what it would cost to go from 2,800 to nearly 5,000 over 6 years...Gus reads these boards, he knows it too....but I'll tell you what the club will do......rather than employ me either as a consultant advisor for a few days a month or full time working remotely from here (ie, night shift)...or maybe make me a relocation offer



, they'll instead see who's languishing in the comms office at the ECB or Wimbledon....should get another bargain there, with the added bonus that Gus already knows how good they are....Like Imogen was

I wonder whether he types with mittens actually.

FFGunny.'[ou ....shou[d mENT10n th47

Those of us who worked with Imogen, found her professional and competent, she was treated very shabbily in my opinion, I understand that, she went on Jury Service and was not told not to return. The same could be said of Petra.

I am sure she was very good at what she did......it's just what she did with regard to the promotion of the club, wasn't very much.......and that's not just my opinion....it's kind of backed up by the results (or lack of them).

I am a realist...and I will say this in here defence.......Gus went on record as saying the crowds were down to bad performances on the team.......then he lets her go...........make your mind up Gus.....whose fault is it?

She was in fact a press officer, and not responsible for marketing, that was Gus's baby. Gus gives the impression of thrashing around but not addressing the main issues.

from an email recieved after I wished her luck....


I call it as I see it....her linked in profile does too...


What part of the MARKETING was she not responsible for?

I repeat...Gud blames the crap team then sacks her.....I am not defending him BTW.

Mea Culpa, she acted like a press officer, talked like a press officer and looked like a press officer, one should not get taken in by appearances. She deserved the boot!

GF looks like a punk, dresses like a punk and is one! Doc Martins were always going to come back into fashion as were drain pipe jeans(or skinnies as they are now called)!! hang in there and it all comes back into fashion.

GF-Why do you think the club has not taken on board any of your 20 point plan- serious question?

PUNK'S NOT DEAD......[size=50it just smells that way[/size



I have no idea. It's not like any single one of the 20 ideas was new/unique.

There are people far more talented and creative than I ever will be who earn more money and righly so I will add, who come up with genius new ideas.....
...I have no doubt that the person who formulated the "Kompare the Meerkat" idea had doubts as well as sceptics in their own agency who weren't sure......an awfull lot of marketing is smoke and mirrors as well as guesswork.

What I proposed was simple, short and cheap (some were free) campaigns that would have involved legwork, unsocial hours and buckets of enthusiasm... IIRC I first posted a version of it in Sept 2008........since then, there really hasn't been anything of substance from the club. I am sure Imogen is a lovely lady, as was her predecessor.....but I fail to see how these people justified employment on 45k a year......and yet managed to shrink the averages down from 3.9 to 2.8....that's nearly 30%....whilst spending what little marketing budget there was available.

The ideas I proposed, notice, they aren't my ideas, may or may not work, but I tell you what, they wouldn't have seen a 30% drop in numbers.

As for Jaybs being curious to know if I'd be all bluster, or if I'd knuckle down to it.....I repeat, I would have died trying if I'd been given the chance......but hey ho...we'll never know!

As it is, it would seem I have torched my bridges with the club......I was contacted pre season, I said I'd lay off until after the Castleford game...I did, but as soon as I began to criticise what was occurring (or what wasn't to be more accurate), the emails and calls dried up.......until they became curt Texts at stupid past midnight telling me that Orient was a SL standard ground and commenting on how negative I am........

NEWSFLASH: Give me something to be positive about and I'll be positive......I post what I post because I care not to score points on a virtual forum.

Tony Rea got "shunted" for only having accumilated 13 points by July 2006......make us all smile Gus....get rid of the train wreck that is Powell.

Dunno if its already been mentioned in this thread but another concern, apart from all the old posters who don't bother anymore is the lack of new users. In the past our decline was as much moving across the capital as anything else, but the last couple of years a poison has taken hold of the club

......this board has maybe 35 contributors,,,,,we have nearly 5,000 facebook friends.......I blame facebook!

Acceptance at last, we are even a very minimal cross section of season ticket holders!

yep.....when did I say we were?

Did I ever say you did say that?

I'm grateful you have come up with a figure, thanks!

apparently all my figures are wrong, so don't base anything solid on them
