We all agree that the club is in a financial mess - the only real way of surviving and thriving is to get bums on seats and the good people of North Kent flocking back through the turnstiles.
Lots of ideas have been suggested and impemented, the one area we haven't really exploited is a big publicity vampaign through the Reporter.
We can all write a quick e-mail or letter pleading with the folks to come and see us. Perhaps if enough write in, the will do a big lead story - "Your Club needs YOU" or something on those lines.
Does Webed have any influence? He does his column and speaks to the editor - we need to get them onside and keep hammering home the story.
The still are a club sponsor - and it could be a great headline - The Reporter helps save the local club"
If we labour the point that without significant increases in attendances to what the club needs to survive (1500-2000?) we will see the club decline from it's priviledged status in the National Conference back to the bad old days of Rymans football.
I therefore suggest we all write in asap, hopefully get the ball rolling in time for next week's publication and rekindle interest in time for the York game on the 13th.
Just an idea.
My letter will be e-mailed tonight.
Hopefully the first of hundreds.
