Marketing events.
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

As it's getting near the end of the season...
 
Last year I went to the Kelly Cup Final (it was a CRACKER!)  and was dismayed that it was not better marketed. I'm part of the "football family" and I didn't realise, much to my embarassment, that the game was on until I got there. At the presentation myself and one other spectator were the only people with cameras to record the event.
 
 
For those clubs that still have teams contesting this why not think about what you'll do, should you make the final,  to get a better turnout for the final??   Ring the papers, ring the radio... do something...  make it an event.
 
The above can also apply to Mirarmar or Olympic if you get home semis...

I agree with you DF. The Prem Womens Cup game on Sunday was a cracker. It was a pity that it was advertised better.

Just been part of chat on this issue.
 
Question arises...   Do any of the non-Wellington Central League clubs charge for admission?

I know Marist doesn't - heck we didn't even get charged a gate fee for Youngheart games at memorial, they went with indicidual match day sponsors instead.

With the Kelly Cup FINALISTS now decided I guess it would be a good time for Capital Football and both involved clubs to promote the match.
 
Another matter: On the subject of marketing events. I sent my friend in Auckland, this morning, a text to say that I would see him on Sunday for the Womens National Knockout Cup semi between Lyn Avon and Upper Hutt. Text said "Kenneth Maunder at 1145 OK for you?" He replied "it's at Keith Hay at 2" . He didn't know the semi was on. When someone as involved in the game as he is doesn't know that a match like that is on then something is WRONG.

Good on you Dairyflat for pushing the fact that there are important women's games this weekend, albeit UH playing away to LA.
 
I know that there is a contingent of UH supporters making the big trip north and I know their collective voices will be heard. I too am rallying support from Auckland locals to come out and support it as well.

I don't just mean the Kelly Cup. I have that as a bee in my bonnet after turning up to the final last season and NOT knowing, as mentioned above, that I was at the final.

Central League promotion/relegation playoff was a cracker...   I was told. I mean it wasn't apparent it was even on. So much for the MARKETING!
 
Any casual observer would never have known it was on. I am not, I believe, a casual observer and I missed it.
 
 
I know I am repeating myself but surely clubs and Capital Football have to improve on this.
