I agree although it is great that we are going into pubs etc i have not really seen a massive push by the club.

In the adver they promote it but reallyt not worth it as i would imagine the people reading already know.

Think they really need a massive promotion in town and even just get some pledges like Port Vale have.

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

Don't forget Port Vale looked like they wouldn't get to 5k with 2 weeks left on their deadline and they had a massive rush at the end. Most people will buy next month.

I think we are going to make it.

[Spud]

I think we'll get just over 5,000.

Town Centre presence and a real push for sales all around the ground during the friendlies.

Can you just give leaflets out in the Town Centre, or do you have to have a council permit signed in doh-doh blood?

I mean more like having an outpost on a temporary basis to sell the tickets.  This would entail either a short term lease on an empty prop or renting one of the stalls in the Brunel, which presumably is a case of asking for one and paying for it.  I can't for the life of me imagine that this is prohbitive if local one man bands seem able to get them around Christmas and they are constantly advertising their availability when you walk through the Plaza and Arcade.  You also always see little car boot sylee outfits open up for a month in the empty shops in Bridge St, so again this must be very easily obtainable.

I suppose the point is, people who see the stuff in the Adver, club site and the Ground are the people who know by now.  Having something in the Town Centre promotes the club to a very wide audience and also provides a much more accesible outlet for people to purchase from.  In the close season I will be in the TC every Saturday probably, but I have to make a decision to go to the CG unless a match is on.

Saying all that, i still think it's going really well.

We need to target, Hungerford, Newbury and Thatcham also to the east, as there used to be more Swindon than Reading, but this has been wiped out in the last 10 years, there are dozens upon dozens that have drifted off in those towns, a little effort i.e. advertising in the Newbury Weekly news for example could pull a few back from the plastic side.

[Simon Pieman]

I think we are going to make it.

I think we're gonna save it, yeah.

[axs]

Don't you try and fake it.

I've decided that I will not be getting a season ticket. Now you can all shoot bullets in my direction, accuse me of not being a real fan all you like. Off you go.......
