dood where have you been all weekend? did u not see the posters on the railings out side the stadium - or the AA road signs that were posted quite a distance away (yet one being pointed the wrong way )

but if u were up by the xball field 3. area- you would of seen the amount of people just coming to watch- and many players were being asked abit about the sport etc.

i thought it was good for oustide interest .

I walked from the train station just behind the stadium, didn't see one poster outside. If you were at the entrance up the top you wouldn't have known it was on until you walked down the access road when the sponsors posters started popping up.

Once you were inside there was nothing to explain to visitors what was going on in the game, no easily visable lists of games so joe public could get an idea who was playing and where. It just seemed to be passing trade using the pool or walking through the grounds who took a look

Also while road signs are good for people attending it isn't advertising. I know postering has it's problems but sticking up some posters with some good action shots would've attracted a lot more interest. Theres a lot of kids in the south london area who love playing with guns as it is lets show them an alternative.

Don't get me wrong it's a great players setup but it seems marketing is still done within existing players - not to the outside world

There were 2 things I have found the 2 years ive been as a spectator,
1: there doesn't appear to be a "Main Entrance" both years I've eventually found my way down to the running track area by getting in through the Tiered Seating behind the food vans (as it was this year), a signposted Main Entrance would be good as some people just wont explore & will have a quick look & go if they cant see how to get down next to the nettings.

2: I had no idea what was going on when, all the teams get their Game Times & Locations, could this be put into some form of free program that can be picked up at the aforementioned Main Entrance showing whose playing who when & where. I know I would have liked to see some Pro games, but missed em all during the time I was there cos I didnt know what was happening.

Programme

When myself and xenos got there on friday afternoon and saturday morning, we expecting to find a programme that we would have to buy, so there isnt really that much problem in paying a quid for the programme, and having that money go to advertisement

Also true, it doesnt have to be free, i'de fork out a quid to know what was going on. and considering that Joe Public would get some too why wouldnt a site want to have its Ad in there?

Good point on the entrance - we eventually found our way in around the back between fields 2 & 3

Same point on the pro games. I specifically went to take photos for a website but missed all the big games I wanted to see.
Eventually I got a look at a timetable by the scoreboard but by that time most of the games I wanted to see had been and gone.

from a spectators point of view I was really disappointed again with the lack of any posters outside the stadium to attract people in.

The borough that Crystal Palace is in does not allow posters to be posted everywhere. They would have been ripped down and we would have had a fine.
