Completely stolen from Wakefield Trinity, but there's no shame in that these days. Talk about a change in mentality at Belle Vue ...... Anyway, they've got a different player each day ringing around all the fans who haven't renewed their season tickets yet, reminding them that they've got until December 1st to get their ticket for £100. How would we get on if we had a couple of players each day ringing around all the fans on the club database who haven't bought season tickets, asking them to support the club over Christmas with the 1, 2, 3 offer? I think you'd stick an additional 500 fans on the gate minimum, and the good will amongst the fans would increase no end.
Send the players out to schools with the posters to hand out to kids, get the kids nagging their parents to go to Oakwell this Xmas.
Would be a cracking idea. The only thing is, I respect super league players more as they earn a lot less and really earn the money. A big reason tickets are high is player wages. Still think this would be good though, get the players promoting 1 2 free over the international break and coming weeks on spare days etc
They should advertise the 1, 2, free offer in the Chronicle as an ideal Christmas gift. Some housewives/househusbands might see this as an ideal opportunity to get shut of their partner over the holiday period!
All cold callers get same treatment in our house. that is Hand receiver passed to 10 month old baby daughter, then it is retrieved from her 5 minutes after. If caller is still there, then I think they deserve a hearing. Strangely enough never had to listen to anyone.
I bet that gets a bit interesting When a supporters wife answers the phone, then asks "Why is there a hooker calling you?" Bet that's difficult to explain away.
