instead of moaning on here, phone the club and pit you questions to them. then as you are on your phone buy your season ticket.
If you end up in the East stand for a game or two you will be getting a good deal as your season ticket for the South stand is cheaper. Stop moaning about how bad the club is and maybe start thinking about how you can do your bit to help, even just buying your ticket helps.
Think not, what can my club do for me, but what can I do for my club !!

I should not have to phone the club my frustration is that this year of all years when they need our money they should be spot on with their communication to us, not even sending reminders to existing season ticket holders is just plain daft, I have always had a letter or email over the last 20 years of having a season ticket, its the best way to remind fans to get one! As for putting us in the East stand you are missing the point, lots of RL fans prefer to stand and it also affects the atmosphere. Oh and by the way I will be buying my season ticket despite the way the club have gone about this as yes we all need to stick with them right now.

This sort of sums up our predicament, with Fax4Life and Faxlore (both 100% blue 'n' white) bickering about season tickets instead of talking about the team and our prospects next season.

The HRLFC office isn't exactly over-staffed, they may not be the most efficient, and we don't have an effective marketing manager (we've employed folk with that job title over the last few years, but none have delivered). Hence why marketing (and e-mails/letters) are sporadic and inconsistent.

Could any of us do better? Maybe. But it's a thankless and an all-consuming job to build and maintain a productive marketing machine for a professional sports club.

I've been as guilty as anyone of slating the club over their marketing. I've sent mails to them trying to help explain how they could do better. Ultimately though, they're constrained by the number of staff they have, their inherent skills, and available technology.

In short, give them a break... but maybe listening a bit more to the terrace fans (rather than the East Stand corporates) might give a more balanced approach to the game day experience for everyone?
