As a retired person with time on my hands I could certainly deliver in my local area.  This would be  Russell Park/Bexleyheath Academy, Long Lane heading towards Northumberland Heath.  This may of course not be your target area, if so, give me a patch and i will attempt to deliver.  I hope this is helpful.

Screw Barnet, promote Welling, if anyone would really pay £15 Just to be at the game as Edgar Davids is there they are mad. Hes not exactly David Beckham. IMO

Anyone with a mild interest in football knows who he is - largely due to his glaucoma glasses. You need to grab their attention in the first second, otherwise it goes in the bin with the other dozen pieces of junkmail they've had that week. He'll do that. Even if they don't turn up that week, they'll at least become aware that we exist.

Get them in the ground, and produce an entertaining game/a shock win and they'll hopefully come back. But you need to get them in the ground first. To do that, they need to read the flyer.

When we play Charlton or Arsenal XIs, do you think our attendance doubles/triples because everyone is there to watch Welling?

I picked up some leaflets from Paul earlier, and managed to leaflet one of the streets by the ground. Quite a few people were outside making the most of the weather, and the response on the doorstep was pretty positive. The pre-2PM entry deals went down quite well as did the U12s going free.

I believe there are quite a few of the flyers left, so if you can give a hand putting a few of them through letter boxes please message Paul and let him know.

Alot of the improvements to the club that people have asked for on this forum require money, which we simply don't have. To generate money, we have to boost attendance and gate receipts. The only way we can do this by promoting the club. The club doesn't have the money to do a massive promotional campaign, so we have to promote it ourselves. Whether this be by leafleting, using social networking, inviting friends/family to games, or a combination of all three, please do something.

We're not going to get attendances of 7,000+ like Luton overnight, but as the attendances do go up, so will revenue, and as finances improve THEN we can look at other improvements.

P.S I believe there are still copies of the Salisbury programme available as I picked one up earlier from Paul. So if you are heading to the club to pick up flyers and also want a Salisbury programme, let Paul know beforehand.

Ok off the top of my head in a few seconds...

Good atmosphere
Decent standard of football local without needing transport
Affordable football
Safe environment to bring their kids to
Supporters Association who try and improve things
Community Interest Club
Two food outlets

A Bar

Club Shop
1000 seats to sit in
Lots of local businesses happy to support the club
Club events, Golf Day coming, Beer Festival, Gigs
Possible live TV for the Wings on BT Sport or Sky for FA Cup if we should be lucky
Lots of familiar clubs playing us with a history through the whole season, its not park football and its on their doorstep
Kids under 12s free
Family tickets £25

What do you expect a club like us to say weve just signed Bale and Neymar ffs?

I challenge you to find me a post where I've slagged a player off this season. Last year, my only (constructive) criticisms were directed towards Theo - didn't see you cry any tears when he left.

Edit: That'll be my last post on this thread. PM me if you want to continue slagging me off Tom. I hope Polo leaves all of this up so people see you for what you are.

Good work as always Paul.

You may have already thought of this but if not, can I suggest that we do some serious flyering for the Barnet game in the week leading up to it.

Have a full page image of Edgar Davids on it and really make a big deal out of his visit to PVR. The fact he probably won't play himself needn't matter. He's an instantly recognisable figure and with all due respect to our players, locals who have never been to a game aren't going to see a picture of Blaine Hudson on a flyer and go "Oh, we'd better head there for the next game". (It might be a different case if you put a picture of his missus on there...Phwoar ) Just a thought.

What have we got to lose?<br /><br /> If we're going to take the p*ss, shall we also make posters according to your list?

oooh im scared, see you at Hereford unless its raining or is that too far away?

From the man who warned me what would happen "next time I get personal with him". Also from a man - and I use the term in the loosest possible sense - who went, what, 5 years without attending a game? 

Apologies in advance to Polo who will have to delete all of this. It's been dragged down from what was a perfectly innocent suggestion, to Tom's usual slagging match.

Back to the thread

Thanks to all those who have taken flyers and distributed today and yesterday

Still a few flyers left , but not that many

I wish more effort was put into the distribution as there is in fighting on here

If this leafleting campaign is successfull then we keep trying but lets stick to the topic and put some positive vibes back towards the club
on and off the field.
As the flyer says SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL NON LEAGUE CLUB

Thank You

 Very many good points above, and some open for much debate, but positivity is whats needed in the public domain, and lets not undermine Paul's excellent work. AWOOGA !!!!!

Paul do not know if a good deal or not but went past a printer by well hall roundabout today, they got a deal advertised at the moment 5000 flyers printed for £99 - maybe some help to keep cost down ?

---

 I'm sure Paul's shopped around but having looked on google I've found some companies doing online offers of £50 for 5000 flyers with free UK delivery!

If anyone's in a generous mood and fancies going on a one man leafleting spree then if flyer templates are put up here then people can order a bundle of flyers themselves and leaflet the whole town.

Otherwise, message Paul if you're interested in joining future leafleting campaigns.

A big well done to those that helped promote the club prior the Kiddy game via leafleting, social networking, and word of mouth.
