Army v Navy game : Tue May 05, 2009 1:05 pm  

What about a fiver a ticket offer for any serving members of the forces? Could draw a few in from nearby bases, I'm sure the boys and girls would spend a few bob on food and drink.

The barracks in Hounslow used to be full of scouser types...Think they were the Signal Corps.
£5 a ticket for the armed forces would be a cracking idea.....it's just the club wouldn't tell anyone about it because that would involve spending money on marketing

Given that the Club have had dealings with the Services in the past, presumably they would be aware of who runs RL in each Service. All they would need to do is to contact the individual representatives and let them do the marketing.

TBH GF it shouldnt cost the club more then a few phone calls and e-mails. Because on most camps they use to hand out to a weekly bulletin newsletter,telling of the ins and outs and the goings on at the Camp that week,and one normally left on the news board in the NAAFI. I'm not 100% sure but i think they would just need to phone the camps and ask for the Community Office and fill him/her on what you trying to do. Then maybe sent an e mail with all details for them to print out in the newsletter. And if it has offers of servicemen/women for a £5 by just showing your ID card, im sure you might get some turn up.

To whom it may concern, Promotion of RL to the services?? How's about a quick call/letter/email to the following publications saying that on production of Military ID cards you get in for a £5, as previously suggested. Tell any squaddie, matlot or Crab that there's a bar as well i'm sure you get a few in. And why not have it as a continuous promotion??? The RAF News The Navy News The Army News. sort of. You have not been charged for this service.

As per the forum notes I beleive that a game will be targetted as a "services/armed forces" day.

Hi Paddock, I think it is the Cass game in September that has been targeted for the forces. Two years ago prior to the A & N game there were a lot of Cass RL army supporters in Weatherspoons at Victoria Station and I was "captured" as I nipped past to the ladies as I had my Quins get up on. I tried my best to push the virtues of the East Stand bar, Harlequin Hearts, etc. I don't think they were stationed all that far away but they were very interested, as I said, they didn't realise that we had moved to the Stoop.
