    Slightly off topic. Just seen this on facebook. Wasn't aware that the Pie-Eaters thought so "highly" of us? Wasn't really aware we were "big" enough to warrant this kind of hating tbh.

    We've been taught a lesson pissing 200 yards away from our ground.

     

    I like that he's a grown man with a replica shirt on with mcmanaman on the back though.

  2. I couldn't get there in the end, so I just boooooooooooooed a few random businessmen in town for you.

    You did well as business folk seemed edgy and didn't understand why some fella was booooooooing them all the way down Deansgate. Good work.
  3. Very well thanks, even got offered another job ha. Got some good appointments out of it and the advice I got was brilliant. Especially about the shoes as that's all people moaned about all afternoon.

  4. Haha no, there's about 5 kids aged 8-11 who were at the back singing 1-0 to the Wanderers and promptly had a steward go up to the back to tell them to sit down, followed by the most high pitched "we're Bolton Wanderers, we'll do what we want".

     

    At least 250 Bolton fans here I'd say, not bad all things considered.

    'were Bolton Wanderers and we do what we want' booooooooo that song reminds me of a dirty other club.
  5. I do a few of these

     

    This will sound daft, but the thing that always always works is a few jars of free sweets on yor stand if you can get retro ones, all the better. It gets people stopping and then they will talk.

     

    It's fairly inexpensive and if you get little bags for them to grab a handful it catches other peoples eyes.

     

    Oh, and a bird with big massive wangers on your stand won't hurt.

    Thanks spider, have done the sweets for tomorrow so have got a bit going on. No massive Wangers though sadly. I'm hoping other stands have thought ahead.
  6. No sub 10k league games at Turf moor last season.

     

    The bulk of attendances were however in the 11.5 to 13.5k region.

    Sure there were a couple 9k gates, oh well I stand corrected.
  7. I gather most people don't like sitting in the jimmy mac lower (I think this is right) so are just bypassing the offer. Saying that their crowds were dipping sub 10k, perhaps even less come the end of last season.

  8. Don't forget to booooooooooooooo loudly at your competition.

    I was hoping you could come down as it seems your the top man for displays of public booooooooing at the moment (certainly a compliment)
  9. Where is this show, and how long are you going to be there for? - If it's a two dayer like mine was, try not to get mortally pissed in the hotel during the evening, it'll come back to haunt you all the next day

    At the Beetham tower and only for the day, I am using it as an excuse to get pissed later onto the misses and have managed to get a lift down their in the morning, I'm assuming this is standard practice for networking? Thanks Daz bob I will bear this in mind to go along with my discreet whispers of "fancy a bum" to all the buster wearers at the event.
  10. No problem, I'll get some info if you want, when you want.

     

    Also, giving out freebies for data information isn't a bad idea (depending on what the freebie is) and depending on the client base a twitter feed thoughout the day linked up to a plasma showing the feed is good if you can get clients to start tweeting before and during the event.

     

    It means to can keep people up to speed with what you are showing, where you are, meet you for a drink afterwards etc. Most events should be able to give you a delegate list, then you can follow them on twitter and build a decent enough following.

    Got the free draw set up with business cards and the tweeting system in place so am hoping it will be a good day. Thanks again.
  11. I do a fair few of these with work; get yourself a decent stand - try and avoid pull up banners, everyone has one; I got a local student to lazer cut stuff for me, looks really good.

     

    Personally, I prefer to go and talk to people but them I'm a talkative soul - a Bolton accent works a treat down south, everyone seems to trust you and I lay it on very thick.

    Thanks Crawley, I'll bear in mind the lazer cut stuff for the future as it is a tad late now to change tactics.
  12. Nice one, I'd not even thought about a spare shirt which will defo be needed. I like the idea of not being over keen especially as the foot traffic will already be their. Ill just try not to be to laid back. Thanks.

  13. I'm sure I read CWP did one of these the other week. I have my first one tomorrow and am just wandering if anyone has got any decent advice, let people come to me or go and chase people that sort of thing. Many thanks.

  14. It's cost the club £30k to release all tickets at £12.50.

     

    Might be worth it to save fans being pissed off.

     

    Might be worth a few emails to people at the club to see if anything can be done.

     

    I'd be pisses off if I didn't get a £12.50 ticket and be tempted not to go considering its on tv.

     

    Poor decision IMO.

    Got mine so no reason for me to kick off but agree with everything you say there mate, other than getting the club to cover the cost for others. Who is subsidising the tickets?
