The RFL will not give the club access to the data from the World Cup.

That may be so. But how did these people find out about the game they bought tickets for? What made them buy tickets? The club need to create a buzz about it. As others have said. Some peoples perception now are of a club going no where and one that is struggling to pay the rent.

You should ask for your £7.50 back before it ends up in the Bradford Bulls survival fund.


Aahh, too late!

Re: Silence : Tue Apr 08, 2014 6:15 pm  

I thought it was £2.50 and a charitable donation to the Bulls for the rest.

Sorry you are wrong about myself and all current Fax fans.

Age has nothing to do with it unless you want to discriminate.

I never mentioned or "reckoned" at being the best in the country.

Simply you need to have a winning or competitive side playing rugby that's good to watch against your current opposition to have the best chance of maintaining or increasing your support and making progress, that includes fan base and cor.

Faxcar, what was Fax s ' status ' when you started following them? , and IYO what ' status ' is required to make marketing worthwhile?

Yes without doubt a competitive attractive brand of RL will help, but in sport that can be a difficult thing to guarantee, believe me, no ' cheap shots ' here, just a genuine interest in lower tier sports management

Where does that come from you asked yesterday ? , 4 years as a director at Leigh, 10 years as a shareholder and a not unconsiderable cash investement over that 4 years, with the following 5 spent trying to bring a new outlook to the clubs management and how it ' sells ' itself

Also an attempt 5 years ago to get the ' locked out ' Championships Clubs to look at working together, something that IMO could have been paying dividends for those clubs willing to open their eyes

I am fully aware how difficult it is to run a club at this level and the financial problems it can bring, but if you keep doing what you've always done, dont expect anything to change

All the best

No I paid more and most people did the club are saying that it was all due to the tickets being £2.50 which helped yes but it was the marketing that got people down the Shay it was everywhere, obviously the RFL pumped a lot into it and credit to them it worked. The club need to look at where they can get advertising in prime and very prminant places that won't cost the earth, it can be done.

Good Morning. I have replied to you directly to your Facebook message.

This last weekend I was on holiday with Mrs Fax and I asked some of folk down at the club to look after the social media while I was away. They aren't that clued up on what goes on as its not part of their job on a game weekend.

Sorry about the radio silence but I am back now. And yes I do prefer using Twitter - I can respond far quicker.

Hope that helps.

Yours

Mr Fax
