billionaire? John richer than we thought or Channel 5 marketing? Either way great to have the Radford’s and the club on prime time tv and even better to have a deal on for the local youth. I’ll be telling my mates to bring the kids along

[EdwinstoweStag]

I think the TV bods used a little “licence”

[88BenM]

Quality from the club in my opinion. It's about time the youth of Mansfield were encouraged to come to the Stags.

[Foresttownstag]

Time to get it advertised properly, the club have had some great offers In recent seasons but failed to advertise it.

Get 10,000 leaflets printed and banged out through people’s doors, radio, paper, social media etc.

Great idea though, well done JR & CR

[Johnny Rotten]

I wonder how many fans will be in the pub pre-match and drinking ale to then turn up to the ground claiming they are under 18....

In turn leaving the club and the Radfords short of monies otherwise rightly due

Hard hat at the ready...

(Well it wouldn't be a Stagsnet thread without a moan of some sort, eh?! )

Are you suggesting breathalysers for minors ?

[Johnny Rotten]

No not at all, mate. Honesty, perhaps?

[BigGuy]

I wouldn’t worry, our esteemed security firm will wrestle em to the ground and have the sniffer dogs on em.

[bellwhiff]

It’s a great gesture and one that needs publicising.

[Spiritater]

Needs regulating though and those coming will have to get a' free ticket' before entering the ground I'd imagine. If not there could be a few tiffs if folk just sit where they want

[adamstag]

Agreed on the points about saying was actually need to publicise it. Let’s go to town on it (literally) don’t advertise it on stagsnet and on Facebook where you’re messaging folk which will already probably go anyway.

Would be nice to see the quarry lane end full for it

Wonder how 'sales' of these tickets are going atm. I've not seen/heard (never listen to the Woodhouse Rd shower now they've ceased commo, so I'm unsure if they've been pluggin it) much in the way advertising. I hope the young uns aren't expecting to rock up at 14.55 on that Saturday and expect to just walk in.

That’s the problem as mentioned above, no point in mentioning it to us lot, ya need to be there in the chad, flyers in schools and the market sq, be dynamic.

We have Mansfield 103.2 on at work and I can say I’ve not personally heard it advertised.

As I mentioned in a previous post we should get a large number of leaflets printed and posted through doors etc.

Not really much use advertising it until after tomorrow's match as it will cause confusion with folk turning up tomorrow to claim free ticket when game is actually next Saturday.

You’d have to be pretty thick to do that.

Advertise it properly with the fixture, the date etc and you can’t get it wrong.

Needs advertising as early as possible.

you mean like the ticket office would not sell me a Bury boxing day game ticket until after the Bury chicken feed match had been played.

No I mean the club should be shouting about this under 18 offer ASAP, make it clear when it is and how tickets can be collected. If advertised correctly people will not turn up to a home game against Tranmere expecting to watch us play Macclesfield

Now is the time for people, possibly those that say why don’t the club do this or that etc to get young people through the door, to do their bit.

Do you know of any U18 you can bring with you, a mate and his child, the unruly lads from down the street, the lads that only wear a Real Madrid shirt etc. This offer is designed, for whatever reasons, to sow the seeds for the next generation of Stags Fans.

Before the usual suspects start, I am bringing Mrs Spartacus’ Cousins son, for the third time this season. At Christmas he asked for a Stags shirt and not his usual request for a Real Madrid shirt. A small victory but hopefully a battle won in the war for the hearts and minds of one football fan.

It is possible to get them involved but it may mean that some will have to pull themselves away from the keyboard and get involved.

I thought about approaching kids outside our local school.

I'd take a different approach get the players into local primary / secondary schools (1 player per school for maximum audience reach) talk a little about being healthy, playing sports and plug the deal showing we are a community club.

Kids will either go home and bug the parents to take them or if a secondary school likely come together in a group.

Great Post, give all kids a leaflet with details to take home and tell their parents. I deliver presentations to schools on behalf of the army and I have 2 schools in Mansfield next week, I'm going to fit it in to my delivery that's its free entry v Macclesfield. Every little helps.

[Stafford]

I've spoken to all the teachers I know and they're all going to print something off and advertise it in their schools. Seems an obvious idea to me that the club should be sending players into schools...
