Fleet Fans

[Guest]

After a night out in Maidstone last weekend something caught my eye which got me thinking about GNFC.

 

I saw outside one of the nightclubs, a large sign similar to an electronic scoreboard which was continuously advertising Maidstone United.

 

This sign has been very cleaverly placed outside the nightclub so the 18-25's entering the club will see it.

 

It made me realise, that from my opinion the Fleet ignore fans of my age and concentrate on younger teens and children and their parents etc when advertising.

 

Dosen't anyone think that Fleet should do more to market themselves towards this large marked??

 

You may argue that Maidstone need the support, but don't we? Wouldn't an extra 500 18-25's be a welcome addtition to Stonebridge Road each week? (shirt sales, club bar, refreshments etc)

 

I would be interesed in the views of other fleet fans and a club representative on this because my own opinion is that the above age range is under-represented at Stonebridge Road.

 

Belive me there are loads of Youths in the town who regularly moan about having nothing to do oterh the weekend other than spending £40 in the pub throught the day.

It's a Maidstone borough council thing - it advertises the rugby too, for example.

I've seen one in the town centre, flashing away during the day with all it's information.

 

It's a good idea though.....

I'm sure that anything which is designed to get more people through the gate is to be welcomed.
