Any suggestions.

 

I think we should use the Scotland matches  followed by our Live Kilmarnock game on BBC ALBA  to our advantage and promote it to people who would never think of watching ICT. 

 

If Gordon Ramsay was doing his usual  promoting a restaurant, he would improve  whats being served up,  ICT have done that, he would also have people out on the street speaking to people about the new food on offer and giving out free samples,  there is a free live sample 14/9/13 on BBC Alba.

We now need to find an effective efficient way of  capturing a fresh audience,  on an ICT web site? sports page on the back page of a local paper would fresh fans think to look there? 

 

I would suggest handing out flyers  for the TV game and a fixture card, perhaps  falcon square for a start with our mascots, good photo opportunity for wee ones too on a Saturday morning.

ICT are doing great right now so why not tell every one. 

 

Any other suggestions for a target audience like Bingo or Cinema perhaps.

 

Maybe we need a well respected  player from yesteryear saying how well ICT are doing and encouraging people to come along who haven't watched a game for a while on MFR,  someone who played for ICT for years and helped knock big clubs out of cup games, some one who even Managed ICT,  if only I could think of someone who would tick all those boxes.

 

 

The summer training for children, is it eligible for  child care vouchers as an activity just like any school activity will be?

 

 

Aye but you may then get there and find yourself and your young impressionable family being subjected to songs and chants containing words that you dont want your young family to hear. or chants referring to sexual acts being performed by certain players. I say that because I know for a fact there are people who wont go to games because of what they hear from the stands.

Sorry Alex your fired.

 

I know for a fact that  some people find excuses to avoid doing anything, I have lost count of the excuses heard for not going, why not start by telling people why you enjoy going to the games. 

 

I take on board all the points made but the very subject of falling crowds came up recently in the company of friends I used to go to Brockville with. A couple of those people stopped going when they had children for the reasons I mention. Guys that would chant the same and probably more vile slogans at games who have grown up a bit and are trying to take responsibility in the education of their kids. Yes you'll hear it in the playground. Why? In my day we'd get belted for it. Even today, though its become an acceptable form of speech, I censor myself in the company of women and children. Thats not to say I wont hurl a few choice expletives at a match. The guys I mention are not making excuses. These are staunch Falkirk fans that are very likely to return to the games when their kids are of age to do their own thing. But for now they choose not to subject the children to football profanities. Personally I only have respect for their stance on this.
