Frankie100 19 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Lots of people make comments to me when I meet them in the street or the pubs about how they see that margate won again and that they are top of the table. All I do is tell them what their are missing for not watching the games and point out that there is a bar at the ground (that they can stand in to see the game if they say about the weather) and the cost of the matches Got four so far as regular supporters but lots more still not ventured back. Word of mouth and current supporters being vocal adverts for the club can help in a small way Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just one extra supporter each from all of us then ask the new fans to bring another with them next time. It's then the turn of the team to deliver, as someone once said recently we are all it it together. Up the Gate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Coffin Ender 160 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 A quick reasonable cheap Christmas present treat a friend to MFC game. And if they don't like football take them to Southwood. Dutch_Mike 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jeff Trice 54 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 In the course of my historical duties recently I've spoken to 3 fairly elderly former supporters who said they'd go to games if there was a bus to the ground. Have wondered before if Stagecoach or whoever could be persuaded to route a bus or two past Hartsdown on match days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dannyriding 104 Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 In the course of my historical duties recently I've spoken to 3 fairly elderly former supporters who said they'd go to games if there was a bus to the ground. Have wondered before if Stagecoach or whoever could be persuaded to route a bus or two past Hartsdown on match days. Im led to believe that changing a bus route costs a lot of money for some reason and I think that the neighbours might cause a bit of stink as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dflman 80 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I brought people to a game - we came early and saw a Premier League game in the bar so a few bob was spent there but unfortunately ours was the Maidstone one - they were not impressed to say the least and on the next visit arranged the timing so they arrived in the area after kick off to avoid coming. We shall see what happens on Boxing Day ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Klewliss 0 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I am sure the rest of my fellow committee members, along with myself, would be pleased to receive any new fund-raising ideas for discussion. The only stipulation I would add, as the organisation's 'financial gate-keeper', is that suggestions do not come with the tag 'speculate to accumulate'. I'm sorry to say we do not carry any funds to enable us to operate in this way; what we raise goes into the club almost immediately. It would also be useful if a group other than the hard-pressed MFC fans could be targeted. I hope this helps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Roseyboy 21 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I like the fact that this discussion has been started and acknowledged by the club.... Just that alone will raise a bit more publicity... Is there a Facebook page for the club? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
