Oh, and another idea - a pdf for kids to print off that when stuck together and stuck to card makes a full size Sam Burgess cut-out. Add a 'be healthy, don't eat chips all the time slogan' and get the kids to take them into school to be put on display. Even if only a couple get made, it's better than nothing surely and wouldn't take much time. Take the pic, email it to someone with some nouse on here and I'm sure it could be knocked up in half an hour.

It's been suggested before hasn't it? If the club fancy seriously using supporters skills to help them market the club they need to get their skates on before they become totally disillusioned.

Has the BISA link with the club now died?

Do the club know people are willing to give their time and expertise?

BISA died some years back. There simply weren't the folk around with the time or inclination to make it work. From the lack of mention in the press I'd say this applies to quite a few ISAs at other clubs too.

If that was the case in 2005 then gawd knows what it'd be like now. For instance I certainly wouldn't have the time to take on anything like that again.

But I still have the key ring and everything!!

Maybe a less time consuming way of communicating then?

How about once a quarter, as list of questions (from people on here say), is pooled, screened (i.e. removing the what Deacons address type questions) and sent to the club, then posted on here.

Or do it via personal email. Those who want to sign up, can choose to opt in.

Surely it's a start and not too much effort, even from a geographical and logistical point of veiw?

Is that the sound of you volunteering to collate it Wigsy???

Has anyone tried emailing the club with suggestions?
It's worth a shot.

, I walked into that one didn't I!!

In principle yes, I'd be game.
I just think there are obviously a great deal of people who care about the club and have questions, proposals, ideas, etc to offer up, which at the moment the club aren't party to.

I'd also be interested. I was too young to get heavily involved with BISA back in t'day, as it were, but now I'd genuinely be interested.

Let me know if you get a response.
I'll make one one for any supporter impetus to assist the club, but frankly have been appaled by the clubs previous lack of engagement with fans who want to help the club.
Are we just fodder in ther minds or are we considered ineffectual.
Its been said before that the club is missing out on a hardcore of passionate supporters who could willingly promote the Bulls by initiatives instigated the club or by innovative suggestions from us.
Whatever, the management NEED to re-engaage with the supporters in joint efforts of reinvigoration. And it will cost them nothing.

Come on Bulls, contact Wigan Bull if he's prepared to be the locus
