Why don't they do somthing like the belfast radio station. This is what they do

We got a radio station on board. The most listened too radio station in NI Belfast City Beat, as one of our main sponsors. The Word of mouth is unbelieveable. We have a radio talk show every Friday and Monday night, taken by Todd Kelman who interviews players and gives out the details of up coming games. Theres also loads of competitions and prize giveaways. Last week four Family Season tickets were given away!!

Joe Ferguson is one of the top DJs and radio presenters in NI, and He is on board now as match night presenter. He has his own radio show late at nights, and has a huge following. He talks about the Giants all the time and gives tickets away each night. Its working wonders.

Our crowds are coming back. We had 5,027 people in the Odyssey last Saturday.

Every News and sports bulletin ends with ''Belfast City Beat.. The Offcial Voice of the Belfast Giants. And theres a five minute advert, with atmospheric music, and ''New Team, New Coach, Same goal to crush anyone who stands in our way of the title...'' bit and informs everyone listening of the next 3 games coming up. It comes on 6 times a day.

now to me that is the best advertising you could have second to TV coverage/ adverts.

and since they are one of (well probably) or bigger sponsors then surely panthers could do a deal with them. I know they give like 2 tickets away before every game(or did anyway) so why can't they expand on that??

[e-mail]

It's on the website, easy to find.......

2) i don't work for Panthers so why should i

So... you spend enormous amounts of time and energy complaining about stuff on this forum - but can't be bothered to send a quick e-mail to the Panthers on the same subject?
Sounds like a cop-out to me.......

[heja]

ahrdly alot of energy spent on here is there???

you know the reply you will get if you e-mail panthers anyway.

[newham]

like the new name Tim, it covers just about everything

And even less expended on an e-mail directly to the people whom you apparently wish to influence......

you know the reply you will get if you e-mail panthers anyway.

Actually, as I recall, most of the replies I've received (including direct from Gary Moran) have been friendly, helpful and informative. I don't always agree with what they do, and I certainly wish that they'd be more active in communicating with us fans - but the communication I have experienced has been good.

Perhaps you are just making assumptions based upon ignorance and prejudice, eh?

[heja]

i have sent e-mails to gary moran and he is always helpfull but i don't see what they are going to tell us about why they don't use the radio more

[P.G.F.I.]

Tim if your a panther il thought you would at least try and get some ideas going for our organization?

+ why mention it on the forum and expect us to do it? when you brought it up!?

[nt26ix]

i agree with you there P.G.F.I, i dont see the point in coming onto the cage, complaining about us not being on the radio, and then people give you solutions to try and aproach the panthers, to sort something out. And you still find things to moan about to everyone on here...... give us a rest

For crying out loud Tim you either want to make the suggestion to the Panthers or you don't...you could argue with a mirror.

[heja]

guiess whaty PGFI you have got it right

I was MENTIONING on here what another team does

[Milkman™]

BBC radio sheffied did exactly the same thing a couple of years ago, had a few players in to do a talk show and review the weekends games.

Belfast is a different kettle of fish, the only sporting team they have of worth is the giants so there popularity is strong.

A better suggestion would be for a webcast type show, it could easily be set up here and a couple of the nice players that we have would surley oblige
