Could the club offer free coach travel to the Salford Game on Friday as a way of reaching out to the fans? Get in touch with a coach firm to offer "discounted" rates to the club in exchange for some "free" advertising hoarding space around the ground or in the programme?
It could increase away support for the team on Fri, could generate a bit of good will between the club and the currently suffering fans - probably would not actually cost the club much as I doubt there would be a huge take up anyway so only a couple of coaches might be needed- but the club still gets a PR bonus and positive coverage in the media probably and a small away following bump for not much outlay, depending on any deal with the coach company.
Even if the club had to stump up for a couple of coaches out of its own pocket due to no deals with the coach company and only charge a quid or some such deal as a one off? The fans seem at a really low ebb with events at the club and maybe the club needs to try new ways of the fans feeling they are part of a feel good club again.
They could even than couple it to the free flag with a coach seat trick?
Just a random thought...
