Why on earth aren't we doing this?!!!! : Sat Sep 04, 2010 9:18 am  

I was a Bingley Music Live in Myrtle Park when I was stopped by a bloke at a trade stand trying to sign people up to Br*dford B*lls season tickets.

Now admittedly I told him to do one as I'd expect any Cougar fan to do.

The bottom line is though is the club aren't selling themselves enough to the local area. Why weren't we there? We're the local rugby league club as far as Bingley's concerned.

I'd say there was 10,000 there last night with more than that today and Sunday and they all had to walk past this stand.

What are the club actually doing to improve attendances? A few flyers here and there and a bit on the back of the KN aren't going to cut it, it's amateurish.

Totally agree

But that's targeting new fans, not current ones that already season ticket holders. This might have been a goo idea after you got promoted. I mean this with the greatest respect but would buy a season ticket for a club that's just been relegated whether it was local or not? I wouldn't.

You wonder how many will sign up to the B*lls given their recent losing streak.

I know what you mean. But we don't do enough to attract either current or new fans.

Then they do really stupid things like putting season ticket prices up by 20% for next season meaning I for one won't be buying one.

There's more chance of me having a menage à trois with Megan Fox and Keira Knightley than us making Super League in 5 years time Jim.

Your sarcasm is duely noted though

Isn't this Helens job to organise, could explain something

Given the erratic nature of the promotion system these days all you need is a millionaire to buy the club and you'd be up from which ever league you were playing!

Rumour round town is a Millionaire has been looking to invest in the club,
