ffs Dale use your brain please, we've asked you to open the osmond for us to create an atmosphere. PLEASE IT'S NOT HARD. Create a page on the website and telegraph and give home fans the option to go into the osmond to 'create a party atmosphere' and make some sort of article explaining that you're trialing moving the drum into the osmond and would like as many 'vocal but responsible' Grimsby fans to go in there to help create an atmopshere. (tickets should be allowed to be exchanged).

He may listen to you if you were good enough to use his forename and not just his surname in that manner.

And I would think it was a decision made by several of the senior staff not just the Stadium Manager.

Osmond didn't take off mainly due to the offer being open for family's and not being adervertised well.
It's a shame that the noisy lot in the pontoon stay in that corner. Anywhere else in the ground (other than the lower and the right side of the osmond) and it would sound twice as loud.

It was good to see some fans in there, but there weren't many.  Trust Town to take a decent, simply-implemented idea and snaffle it up in regulations, conditions and exclusions.  Two adults, plus two children, get a coupon from the paper, bring it to the ticket office, sign a form, pay an admin fee, available to those with an R in their name, on production of a birth certificate only etc.

If you're a business putting on an offer, you need to keep the "activation" simple, and shorten the time from decision to activation (i.e. "Ooh, I fancy going in the Osmond with the kids for £20" turns into "Your purchase has been processed; enjoy the game" as quickly as possible).  The club, by setting too many conditions around the offer, necessitating the input of two decision makers, lengthened that decision time and failed to make it easy and simple.

Were single parents able to get a discount?  What about single people, or a childless couple, or four pensioner friends?  Aside from the "Activation" being badly executed, the "Branding" side of this says "Only certain profiles of customers are wanted here." and "If we're going to give something away, we're going to make it damn difficult and begrudge every penny of it."
