Suggesting ideas on how to improve gates and bring in revenue is not whats needed. what you have to do, is suck up to the board and they will love you.

From official site
[quote]One Runcorn fan who struck it lucky recently, but not by being so fortunate as to win the Tote, was 15 year old Gary Ratcliffe. Gary used the website to send an eMail to tell the club that despite not getting to matches as often as he would like, he’s still a “proud supporter”, and that he thought what had been done with the club was “great”. As luck would have it, one of the board members was planning to visit his home town of Crewe on business, and was able to drop off a programme and scarf as a thank you for the kind words in his eMail. [/quote]

The club has also made a special effort to send a free shirt over to New Zealand for someone else.

I wonder how much of club funds get sent to Nigerians saying they have won millions on a lottery?!!!!

first time I have been on this site and I just noticed that I made a special trip to New Zealand to deliver a shirt. Bit surprised to find out that there was no other reason for my 5 week trip to asia and New Zealand.

If you wish to start being taken seriously then the facts need to be right.

thanks

just where does it say you made a special trip to new zealand...it says the club made a special effort. it doesnt say it was hand delivered by special courier get over yourself and before you start slagging ppl off......read.

Sorry about misunderstanding your post but the only involvement of the club was getting the shirt signed. What happened was a person contacted our club sponsor via the club web site.

So I said as I happen to be going that way I could drop the shirt in the club were not involved.

If you know somebody in NE USA, Eastern Europe or Egypt I may be able to do the same for you.

Thanks.

Actually i know alot of people in Holland,USA, Checz republic and poland.

Getting linnets shirts to them would be brilliant, a worldwide renound NWC1 football club would be something of a achievement.

Thanks

add finland to that list too.

no problems you sort it out with the czech rep and poland and i think i may be able to help you as well. Always nice to be of service to a fellow fan. speak on saturday

I think your idea of having the best known club in our league is a great idea . The possibilities are vast with publicity ,a pre-season friendly or even just a road trip. I do belive we already have a match ball sponsor from New Zealand . With your contacts around the world this could be a real runner and who knows a real publicity and cash generator and obviously appreciated by all the fans at our club.

having just got back from the pub and talking to a few mates we think ypou have a great idea.

Poland is dead easy with England playing them in the world cup qualifyers those of us going can fly to poland and get the train on to our destination.

Czech rep again same posibility slightly more difficult for the train, but not impossible we think.

i am going to boston possibly september but if your contact is further west we may still be able to help.

as for holland we regularly play them in a friendly so thats another thing we think we can help with.

Also with euro 2012 in ukraine and poland your contacts may be of great value.

The lads say that as you would appear to be a bit of a footy fan there is always a place for someone who likes to watch footy and drink beer.

so hope this helps

train on from poland to ukraine or belaruse hope this now makes sense

Thanks

The aim should be to have a well supported and well known club within Runcorn.
At the end of the day, its people through the gates and drinking in the social club that wil carry the club forward, not pointless trips to hang shirt on walls of far flung places.

Try establishing a home market before you have deluded dreams of world domination. Do you think that any passing person inNew Zealand actually cares about having a shirt from such a low ranked club on its walls?

I agree whole heartilly that the primary aim should be to get more people through the gate and into the social club and to the aim I am all ready helping as I am sure other people are.

World domination ? what a great I idea , never thought of it , but I dont belive it will happen , but you do need an aim.

What i was hopeing to to generate is publicity and as I have all ready had 2 replys then its a start. On publicity I had a conversation with a director of Ebbesfleet utd on Thursday and he was saying they had had tv crews from Spain ,Italy , Scandanavia as well as Mexico visit their club on the back of a tie up with an internet fans group.Thats publicity at work.

You never know some of us went to watch Vasco de Gama Vs Santos on the back of watching Vasco win the world club championship.

But the most important thing is that lil old me has surgested an idea and I dont see why we can not help him with it.

As he would appear to have a great many contacts I am sure your help would be appreaciated.

A total sell out and I hope the clubs fails as a result.
Its bad enough overseas owners coming and and taking control of clubs, but for a club to cheaply sell itself to become the playing of people on the internet is a joke. If people want fantasy football, then join a fantasy football league.
Yes they have got pR out of it, but that will only become short term, with the odd bit of coverage here and there should they win anything.

As for Runcorn, they should contact Athlone Town and arrange a pre-season friendly there. For the last few years at Canal Street, about 20 Athlone fans would come over for the game on Grand National weekend, they would buy shirts, scarfs, etc by the bag load.
The club should tie up a bond with Athlone.

I dont know what Ebbsfleet Utd has done is right or wrong only time will tell especially as I dont know all the facts.

We as followers of Runcorn should not be wishing the demise of a club on anyone after our fortune.

The pe-season idea is a bit confusing , do you mean their pre-season ie febuary/march or our pre-season july/august after this is cleared up we can look at home or away and costings and then take your idea forward.

But still any idea should be looked at.

Thanks

Road trip for Andorra and Croatia games will be flying to Barcelona on the friday staying in the port area. On sunday evening we will be getting the night train to Venice changing in Turin and having monday afternoon and evening in Venice. On monday evening we get the night train to Zagreb arriving tuesday morning and staying in the city centre till thursday. Both night trains are sleepers so we will arrive nice and fresh in our destinations but we where wondering if your extensive contacts went as far as Barcelona , Venice or Zargeb if so we are quids in and we can get the ball rolling.

If this helps we also hope to go to the friendly in Berlin in november.

I will be at todays game or on the rlfc web site or here if you think we could help.

Should you wish to join us on a beer and football fun trip feel free to get more information.

Sorry that previous message should have been from linnet in exile not very good with this technical stuff
