The club don't want volunteer help or sponsor money from fans.

Blimey. Don't they even do the player sponsorship like they used to?

Keep it up fella.

They do have player sponsorships, but they are very expensive for the average RL fan (think they start from £450 to about £850). You aren't guaranteed an end of season awards night either.



We used to have an individual try sponsorship which was quite popular (so they chose to stop doing it).



PS. Would think you could probably sponsor a few of our players for about £15 now!

Individual player prices have always been pretty steep for supporters, hence why this forum always used to get together and sponsor players as a group, think we did that for around 6 seasons, but also in the SAG days they got a bit more switched on to things like try sponsors and other lower cost level sponsorships which helped.

Hope you didn't bother to read his post.

1. Using the Olympic Events for Club Marketing idea is illegal....stick to your herbaceous border's



2. I never suggested roadside or round-a-bout flowers BTW.....but instead, sponsorship of Twickenham station. BTW....What flowers would represent the current clubs colours?

So far, we have RB suggesting something the club have done away with and gone on record as saying they have no interest in and jbuzza popping in from time to time to stir the pot. In between someone suggested illegal marketing....all in all, a top drawer thread



Between the pair of you, you have suggested not one thing that is either new or inventive, but instead, have spent 1 page of a 3 page thread having a pop at me for pointing out where previous attempts at this have gone wrong.

Others have said the club aren't interested, but Gutterfax is an easy target.

Unbelievable. I was asking if people could try and restart something the club have done away with in the past. That is all. The intention was positive. We all know they didn't want help in the past, but that doesn't mean the question can't be asked again.



Now read this line again.

[ihelp implement the things mentioned like door drops and other bits that can be marketed around locally as suggested[/i

Do you realise that I was referring to YOUR suggestions!





You then come on talking about you and what you wouldn't be doing and how you wouldn't be offering your services, gratis. You believe this is all about having a pop at you. Yet all that was said to you is that this isn't about you. You continue to go on about it being a waste of time. Yet I was talking about one of your suggestions.



You follow this up by even suggesting that the club are in the toilet because they haven't listened to you [iGod knows they've had over 10 years of ignoring me and look how that's panned out[/i



Do you think you are alone, when you say this?

[iI have actually got off my harris and done stuff for the club[/i





I'll leave it be now. See you on the NRL forum where I agree with you a lot of the time.

Sponsoring players was a way of really feeling a connection not only to the club, but the team also. Though I think back in the day it used to only cost about 100-200 odd quid. 400-800 odd sounds like it may be priced out too much. But like you say, between 8 of you... though I'd hate to see the fight over who gets the jersey.

It's a players shirt.....not many on here could squeeze into a players shirt

What we do know for a fact is that every other marketing ploy implemented by the club HASN'T worked, but even my arrogance has it's limits, so all I will say is that "we'll never know"

It is so easy to feel there is only "me" helping the club, and having that attitude, we can all be guilty at times, but there must be many of us! who have and do everything we possibly can to assist the club. I sponsored 6 players shirts and various match balls, and also supported the academy side with sponsorship, in the early days there was a great response to any contact and several ideas were taken up and several contacts connected with the club, but that seemed to disappear around 4 years back, why I don't know?
