Agreed

And Salford.

I have chatted to a couple of their fans who don't drive and they are concerned about transport links to Barton particularly if their team play Friday nights.

Maybe we could replace them in Non Relegation League and they could watch us.

Well' they might read this thread.

To be fair Eccles/Trafford Centre are easy to get to via bus. Te stadium seems further away than it is due to the amount of things between Eccles centre and the stadium. On google maps it's around 2 miles from Patricroft Station to the stadium, tops.

A very good point mike , you are quite correct , to move forward the club needs to work much harder at raising its profile within the town , as Alan posted earlier , it is something the club has put as a priority in the future , the issue as has been pointed out is finance , so I think using bill boards might prove out of our reach for the moment , so we will have to be a bit more ' inventive ' , but it HAS to happen

You went to a few games this year, you are a true leyther.

Your point is valid, our advertising in the town is poor.

My idea that Waterfields and Pataks make a 'leyther pastie' on matchdays I think is a good one, but emails get ignored. Two massive Leyth companies making a product with profits going only to the club, free sponsorship for Pataks & Greenhalghs.
Where would you buy your indian produce and pasties from?

Not being funny but I can understand why Waterfields wouldn't go for that one. Greenalgh's might though...

Good points in the original post though Mike - it's an age old debate that usually comes down to speculate to accumulate & brand-building vs lack of available finances for such things.

And Jonny I should have put a smiley on that - I'm not having a go, I think the idea's a good 'un.

I set up a meeting a few weeks ago with Trevor Barton and I raised the point of advertising in town and having posters in every shop window . I have another meeting next week. We will be discussing shops to target and what to put on the posters.
Are you in the town centre?
