Focus Groups

I thought we owned the ground.

God, we are so polite to the lodgers.

Well if the club took the concept seriously and actually commissioned someone (me me!!) to design something along the lines of the full club history in a time chart/imagery and highlights kind of way then i would be happy to assist in this. The rendering on the walls could be interesting though as it is still just breeze block. Also as it is a shared ground, some kind of parity would be needed with London Irish.

Nothing to stop London Irish from preparing their own wall decorations which could be screwed on top of whatever Reading put down. I'd imagine they'd stick them onto boards and secure them to the wall.

The club contact schools and offer them cheap tickets - they've done that at my kids' schools when they were all at school - however, they do NOT have an RFC coaching or holiday club or whatever at EVERY primary school in the area.

Why do they need a "holiday club" at EVERY primary school?

They have really decent deals for families to take their kids to RFC games which is where the seeds are sown.

Are you deliberately being obtuse? The argument was/is/whatever that RFC have a presence in ALL local Primary Schools and my response was, correctly, that they DON'T.

Depends what you mean by "a presence". They do special deals for primary school kids all over Reading.

Maybe they could have a focus group on transport options for people outside Reading

[Sarah Star]

Maybe they did

Considering that only the east and west stands are generally used by LI this would not be as costly as it sounds. Whatever the designs it should be easy to have them on reversible boards. If they can change the goalposts and pitch markings then the odd bit of MDF should not be too onerous.

They already do (or did when I was last there). Pictures get changed over between the football and rugby games.
