Ipswich should give away 100 Free kids season tickets to local schools etc. or even better.... advertise it in the local press, social media and physically at schools so that instead of just giving random kids season tickets, they can actually go online and register to claim a free season ticket - that way you know they will more than likely attend a few times per season.

 

Disclaim **Must be accompanied by a paying Adult**

 

and here is the genius marketing plan...... "only 100 tickets" kids and parents will be on that like a tramp on chips, and the clever part is, you make it in-house that its unlimited applicants so you could end up with 2,000 kids registering for a free season ticket - would certainly boost attendances

 

could also add on the application site.... which is optional....

 

a Junior Memebership Kit £29.99

 

Ipswich Witches T-Shirt / Cap / Poster / Autograph Book

 

a few parents would buy it

Most kids do a "show and tell" at school. They bring in something from home and tell their classmates about it. Kids for a quid inc free scoresheet( proper names though wink) and on reverse a rider poster... Different rider every week. 7 to collect , plus team photos. could take that to pits for autograph

Then could "show and tell" gets other kids interested...

I still shout and holler from my little place on the home straight, ok I now look a little crazy shouting away all on my little lonesome but I just can't help myself. At an earlier meeting when James (eldest son) kept me company, we had a competition with some of the away fans to see who could shout the loudest, we were too busy competing to see what anyone else thought about it....think James won though!

General question here. If we do finish say 9th or 10th in this league. Can anyone tell me the last time we finished this low down in the second tier? Presumably we would be talking early 60's or late 50's.

Not really sure to be honest and not also sure I want to check that particular statistic out.

 

What worries me is the way things are going I'm not entirely certain we'll even finish that high, which is quite alarming really.

8th Southern League 1952 out of 10 (effectively 3rd tier?) nb first year open

 

11th of 16 1969 - again first year re open

 

Aside from that never outside top six until this stint in PL - 7th 2012 and 2015.

 

Did have finishes of 10th from 11 1957 and 10th of 10 1958 NL but these years when only one league.

Thanks bruv. There's some pretty daming statistics there. But us 'whingers' are often told its all rosy in the garden.
