We just don't help ourselves really.... Just had a text from the Scarlets: "Scarlets v Ospreys Tickets are on sale now! 17/10/2022 | 17:15 KO Link to book" So amateurish.

In times of constrained budgets and difficulty in getting good staff (in many professions/walks of life), checks and balances often go out of the window, resulting in something like the above. Great intent to send text messages promoting the match but the good is torpedoed by the small but important error. It would be instructive to know how many staff are working on the marketing/commercial side now compared to pre-Covid. For a while it has been all hands to the various pumps and iirc in one are 2 folk were trying to do 6 people’s jobs at one point last season. ------------- In a world where you can be anything – Be Kind. |

We've never recovered from losing Nerys IMHO. The website currently has a huge banner promoting the 150th anniversary, with "Look how far we've come since Llanelli in 1872" I clicked on it, expecting to find some story to read, but there's nothing to click  ------------- We're still still here, but I wish we were in an Anglo-Welsh |

But who gets these text messages anyway? I used to get texts but not any more. I get texts from the Blues and Ospreys mind which winds me up a treat. I even got a phone call from the Ospreys last year to ask if my company would sponsor them. ------------- In a world where you can be anything – Be Kind. |

 In fairness the guy on the phone was quite understanding and polite. He did wonder why a business with an SA postcode could be a Scarlet and I had to explain that the SA postcode runs all the way over to Pembrokeshire and up to Ceredigion. ------------- In a world where you can be anything – Be Kind. |

Next season sees the end of a hell of a lot of Debenture seats, their 15 years being up. A large amount of money could leave the coffers to sort that issue out. You would think, that the club would be in contact to extend these, if required, seems to be a forgot issue!!!! could easily be in excess of half a million involved, so yes marketing is lax

They probably only retain phone numbers for a certain period of time. I’ve seen criticism of the Ospreys over the past few weeks relating to them trying to advertise season tickets to a lapsed customer who passed away a number of years ago.

| It's quite a sorry state of affairs really. Tickets have been on sale for the Ospreys game for well over a week, and I've barely seen any promotion or marketing for it, and this is supposedly our biggest payday of the season at the gate. As a result, early ticket sales look very slow. A month to salvage it, but I've seen more promotion from unofficial scarlet twitter pages like the Supporters Group and Sosban Rugby than I have from the club itself. |

Posted By: hartson11
Date Posted: 18 August 2022 at 10:18am
I tend to agree. I think kick off times, whilst important, is not the be all and end all - It would simply appear sadly that professional rugby just isn't a draw at the gate anymore. A combination of apathy, poor performance, covid and poor governance has set it back years. It's not just the Scarlets, it's the same for Wales. The number of tickets available for the Argentina, Australia and Georgia games is staggering. Doesn't appear that more than 15-18k has been sold for Argentina. Even the All Blacks game has plenty of availability. Other than somehow being successful all of a sudden on the pitch at pro club level, I'm not too sure how we arrest the slide either.

Not quite that simple. I expect that both sides missing some internationals, and the fact that some people have drifted out of the habit during covid, will make it harder for all sides to sell tickets. Plus the fact that everyone is expecting to be a lot worse off this winter due to energy prices. So we can’t compare this game to anything pre-Covid really. ------------- We're still still here, but I wish we were in an Anglo-Welsh |

Just because you don’t get it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t have an impact. People on here are mainly hard core fans and definitely go to see the team. But the hard core rarely gives us more than 7k fans. I don’t know what brings the casuals in, but the presence of Team Wales players might have an impact. Also, look at the Ospreys home crowds lately. They can barely get 5k at home. I’ll be delighted if we can crack 10k, but also surprised. The club needs to do way more than a few tweets if they want to pack the place. The cheaper tickets and early bird deals are to be applauded though. ------------- We're still still here, but I wish we were in an Anglo-Welsh |

I think we'll be closer to 5k than 10k. Heard we'd sold 3200 season tickets. It's going to be a difficult road ahead. Can only hope we survive the next few years and see where the pro landscape is in Wales in 24 months or so.

Because Ospreys is game #1, the fixture loses any sort of in-season marketing advantage Scarlets would otherwise have had: Eg. - TV and media promotion (noting the fixture date, providing build-up). - In-stadium promotion. - Success from any winning streak / tangible chance at winning silverware. - Perception this fixture would otherwise be festive. They'll virtually have to move the bums to seats themselves. It will be a test of how well they are able to leverage their CRM, social media etc. Aug 19 newsletter hits the right bases: - Ticking clock on price reduction - Atmosphere - Supporters' village - Meet the players - Fifita - New kit

I don't think as a country we've bounced back from Covid yet. We've just come back from a holiday in Brittany, a holiday that was planned for 2020 but for obvious reasons had to be postponed. Just an observation but there is only one Ferry per day running from Plymouth to Roscoff at the moment as opposed to two per day before Covid - and even these Ferries are not anywhere near as full as they used to be. The beaches were half empty as well. I think the enthusiasm for things has been dampened down in everyone and in all walks of life - it's going to take a monumental shift to get things moving properly again. PS - I don't think working from home is helping either - we've become very lethargic as a nation (a generalisation there I know)

The marketing for this game is almost non-existent unfortunately. I expect the club will cite a lack of ££ and personnel to do any more, but it's pretty dire. A few infrequent posts on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter just won't do these days. To be fair, none of the Welsh teams, including the WRU are any better. But there's an opportunity here for us to steal a march on the competition. With the right expertise, £10k can go a long way in digital marketing. I've occasionally used targeted Facebook ads in work, and because I am trying to fill 10-20 spaces, I rarely spend more than £10. The effect is usually instantly noticeable. (It's a bit of a dilemma because I think FB is the root of a lot of evil in the world )But if they were to get someone self-employed with expertise in for a short term deal I think they would be shocked how effective it can be. They've already cut the prices, but I doubt many people will realise that unless they were about to book. ------------- We're still still here, but I wish we were in an Anglo-Welsh |

For Example. Scarlets tweeted 6 times on Friday, and nothing since. Only one of those tweets was about the game. The others were, understandably, about the kit. No one on social media duty on the weekend? You can schedule auto posts!! They should be tweeting 20-30 times per day on each subject. With different graphics and wording. The chances of seeing a single tweet even from someone you follow are quite small. ------------- We're still still here, but I wish we were in an Anglo-Welsh |

Respectfully disagree Dai. They're a £12m business, that needs to be £13m business. They need to invest in a proper strategy. Analyse results etc. I reckon they could put 1000 on the average gate, which is 11,000 tickets, which is probably £100k in revenue including match day spend. Also, if we get bigger, noisier crowds we look more attractive as an entertainment event. It generates positivity and will undoubtedly fuel other things like sponsorship. ------------- We're still still here, but I wish we were in an Anglo-Welsh |

Haha! Quite! I don't think you'd see many of them unless you were on twitter all day though. Twitter isn't the best example, and it's promoted, micro-targeted tweets that they should use (probably more effective on FB), so they show up on people's timelines who don't follow them. You can target by postcode, by interest, by age, gender, all sorts of stuff. I did something like 7 days of targeted advertising on FB for £10. I was projected a reach of 200,000 people and I was looking to get 10 takers for this particular campaign.

Strangely, a number of standing tickets have gone back available on sale this morning. Must be returns or tickets that were being held back. Tickets sale situation is even worse than I thought. Wish I had an easy answer but I feel its gone beyond poor marketing now. Maybe we should look at something like ST holders bringing a friend for a quid, or an offer of that nature. Only a short term fix and wouldn’t help the balance sheet, but it would look better than a 4/5k attendance for our supposed biggest game of the season. If Scarlets put on a good performance it may at least get people engaged for the rest of the season and entice people back.

I appreciate people live all over west wales but for this season the kick off times are ideal compared to other seasons. People’s main grudge is Friday games and late Saturday kick offs.

Sadly the first roundabout just over the Loughor bridge is an abysmal scruffy mess - embarrassing welcome to Carmarthenshire and Llanelli. The Scarlets posts roundabout has at least seen the old Stradey posts repainted ( I was involved in facilitating this ) as it was a mess- but again the rough mowing of the grass around the posts is very poor and that job is a Carmarthenshire County Council job. Very poor support for a major sporting entity in West Wales . Inept

Must be extremely difficult to employ casual staff for catering when you have such a disjointed season and can only afford to pay minimum wage. Glad I don’t have to organise it.

There is an adults option and a young adults option with absolutely no indication to be found about what the age limit is for a 'young adult.' How are you expected just to know this? Is a young adult between age 18-20? 25? Anyone under 30? |

To be fair to the Scarlets if they based their supply of hot food etc on what the expected crowd was to be then theres no wonder they run out, ticket sales for this game were extremely poor and only really started picking up from thursday afternoon. We cant afford to be throwing away stock etc by over ordering |

[QUOTE=N14]Yes we were shocked to be told at the bar just before half-time that there was no hot food left. Very very poor. That issue wasn’t a lack of staffing but that they ran out - poor planning, and we can hardly complain about finances when we’re prepared to lose revenue so needlessly.[/QUOTE Was this at the bar or one of the few hot food stations along the concourse?]

Food stall I guess? They have some which serve drinks and also things like sweets etc. Then they have others (which we went to) which serve hot food - chips with curry and various other toppings etc. We were told at one of those that they didn’t have any hot food left in the north
