Maybe they should get someone intelligent to do this assignment, the answer is simple , move the club back to the Ricoh.

Alright thank you very much for the feedback. It just seems the relationship amongst fans would become just further fractured and the campaign would not be a success therefore it would not be pursued (if this were to be a real campaign).
Of course there are campaigns like NOPM already in place and so returning to the Ricoh is a campaign I cannot really do, unfortunately.
Are there any other initiatives any of you fans believe would be worth pursuing (on a serious note!) The deadline is for tomorrow at 8pm, so any good ideas would be well received. Thank you again!

OK, make a full set of photos of Joy publically available online, then I'll maybe think about possibly going to Sixfields..
Turn it into a silly thread? The OP started it.

The reality is that the PR side has been an unmitigated disaster. Gates last season hovered around 10,000 and half were season ticket holders.
The projected attendances couldn't have been more than 3,000 unless the forecast planner was deluded.
The mission should always have been to secure as many season ticket holders as possible. The club should have offered all season ticket holders a free seat to the Bristol game and if possible free parking. Then there should have been an attempt to secure as many of them at a discounted price - say 15% below the advertised price. The season ticket holders who signed up should then have been given "rewards" such as club shop discounts, food vouchers, free corporate upgrades if they introduced additional paying customers to games.
The approach has been lazy and ill conceived to say the least.

Look at that, we've bonded.
I was joking in my original comment of course, but it's a start.

Happy to pay the £65 fuel bill to get to the Ricoh from Weymouth as I used to do regularly.
Even if you offered to pay ME £65 to chauffer me to Northampton and throw in complimentary blow jobs from a stunner of my choice, it would still be a no.

You could always take the ride and the blowy then stand on the hill nursing a semi?

SISU have a track record they need to maintain.

No. But perhaps yes if it was a free ride to stand on the Hill.
Presume this is a college PR assignment, you're doing marketing as part of your business studies? People on here would gladly pay £20 to watch the game if it was back at the Ricoh, and they'd probably spend £10 plus on a few pints and a program. So freebies (which will actually cut into the profits anyway) isn't the answer, IMHO.
Marketing means understanding your customers needs, and the only thing that the stay aways want is a move back to Coventry. Unless this is on the cards, you are wasting your time. You need to PR campaign promoting a viable and genuine attempt to broker a deal with the Ricoh, or photo shoots of the first bricks being laid at the new ground.
Of course, this means contacting Fisher to actually start him moving in that direction. Good luck with that one!

Thank you for your detailed opinion.
Close but no cigar... I am doing Sports PR and Journalism at University but I've just started so I appreciate I'm no good as of yet.
Apart from the Ricoh Arena, have you got any other initiatives you'd like to be seen introduced to the club? (Open to anyone to give an initiative)

How about a PR campaign against SISU ?

Alex, don't do yourself down mate, nobody has said you're "no good". Belief in yourself is the first hurdle of a journo. Good luck with your career, perhaps we'll some day have another City fan reporting alongside Geoff Foster.
If you want to do a good PR job for SISU, just copy and paste Les Reid's column :laugh:
You could get Fisher to ban the CWR commentary. They we'd HAVE to go and watch.

Why is there not enough excitement in the ground for a semi?

can I just say a big No to any initatives the club promote getting more fans into that awful ground at sixfields.
Like the majority on here I will not set a foot inside sixfields whatever was being offered. I will and I speak for my mates will set foot into the Ricoh when we do finally return Home after this fiasco has come to an end

Thank you for the support, I am only 3 weeks into the course so it's fine... I will improve, I'm sure of it.
Haha nah, I'm a stay-away fan too and I just follow it on BBC, he cannot shut that down!
The idea to do a campaign against SISU could be difficult but with the feedback on here, I'd have a lot of evidence for SISU hatred... so I'll consider that.
Thanks again!

Who are you?
Who is your assignment from and with whom can we verify that?
How will this data be used and by whom?
How is CCFC your "favourite sporting organisation" when you have only just joined?
Why do you think the coach price is the reason for "stay away fans"?
I think 10,000 stay away fans have answered your question already, they are not staying away because of £7.50 coach price! Perhaps you should ready through the threads on this forum to get an understanding of the real issues.

if you can get the coach to bring our team from sixfields back home to the ricoh i suspect you'll be on a PR winner. especially if there is no room for timmy and his buddies from shitsu.

When over 3k are prepared to pay much more to travel over to Wolves then it should indicate that the cost of travel isn't the issue.
