Last Years Flyer

I was quite proud of this, I can recall being nervous about handing them out and even more so when news was going around that Lee Hughes would be leaving.
 

I started promoting the site a few weeks earlier and they didn't get a great reception, I found that holding them out and asking people to take one to have a read on the way home or inside the match worked well. I was delighted one night, as Jake and Ellie actually encouraged me to do it when I wasn't really keen on the idea.

It was on the back of The Millers defeat and I thought it would generate hassle, as some fans had been very unfriendly prior but that's just people.

We cleared the whole lot, Jake and Ellie had the biggest smiles on their faces and I was even more proud of them than I already was. It grew into an obsession and I started really enjoying it, as I would bond with the children and they liked it also. Then I went and did my knee! So it took the sail off. I can remember one time, I can't remember who we played but I stood near the main gate on crutches. Jake was encouraging me to have a go, I didn't want to disappoint him or seem weak to him (I know what your thinking). He took flyers, walked up to people approaching and handed them one over.

Ellie then started walking up to others who were trying to get around Jake, she pointed them to my direction and I think the majority felt sorry for me because they came over.

I've had some really fun memories sharing these flyers out.

You Pies!!

Well done Joe and family, I can't believe I never saw you handing out leaflets. Mind you I must admit I tend to avoid people doing that (sorry) because 99 times out of 100 it's something I don't want then I have to find a bin to drop it in.

I would switch between Pavis and Kop, one game I would focus on Pavis, the next the Kop. I seemed to get a better response near the Kop though and more fans spoke to me, engaging with what we was doing.
