    Well no phrase alone is going to do that. Any ads for the league would all be about increasing the exposure of the league and get the average people on the street thinking about it and aware of what's going on. Most of the time the league completley slips under the radar of the average man off the street and so they never so much as think of coming to games.

    I think the best way to pull people to the games is to constantly promote the european games and to highlight the european opponents

    Crummy. Cheesy. But at least it gets the needle in a little.

    My hangover is slightly better.
    good stuff - could develop it a bit with something like this; picture of gormless half wit in Man U shirt saying ' I'm from Sligo ....' cut to crowd at the showgrounds chanting; picture of other GHW in ****** shirt going 'I'm from Dublin and I support a team in another country' Cut to Dalymount/Richer/ Tolka .... and so on

    well the add (sic) campaign would be aimed at improving support; cork city have the best support in the league and are not signing 36 year old almost-were's. GAA fans dont watch the games in their tens of thousands because one of the players used to play at a better level years ago. they watch them because they relate to the team. in Cork at least, former just-abouts (ie Liam O'Brien) are treated with contempt, and exciting young talents like John o Flynn are declared as gods on earth. i reckon the same principle would apply to anywhere in ireland; showcasing the best young talents rather than saying "look we got a former cameroon squad member to sign for us!!!" would work best.

    maybe im wrong, but generally a marketing manager would look at the best performing competition and adopt their approach.

    highlighting the successes is obviously the way forward, but in most average people's (think bertie "man yoos biggest fan" ahern's) point of view, bucharest are a go no where team from romania and if shels lose to them any good work against glentoran (and the IFA league has a worse rep here than the eL), will mean nothing.

    Have to keep it positive. No point in knocking the barstoolers. Part of their problem with EL is that it makes them feel inadequate as football supporters, because in their hearts they know theirs is a plastic passion.

    Short & sweet ...

    KEEP IT REAL

    or

    HERE. NOW. REAL FOOTBALL FOR REAL FANS

    or

    YOUR HOME GAME


    These for posters with appropriate images of photogenic players, i.e. Kevin Hunt, not Jason Byrne , or if we're talking radio then background cheering, chants etc.

    PS: red is the most eye-catching colour, so of course Bohs would have to figure in any poster

    Sounds like your red is trying to over compensate for something.
