Still has to have a live link to a ticketing system, server etc. Fair play to Widnes in cutting the costs in some respects by using PayPal, but that's only a fraction of the costs involved.

Think the fact is that a) we have to get used to the fact that we can't cut corners financially as appeared to be the case at HP b) no amount of marketing is going to make people watch a side getting thumped every week, and more so charge them £14-16 for the privelige and c) we need to concentrate on retaining existing fans before even thinking about attracting new ones.

OK clever dick

I posted what I thought I remembered (therefore confirming that I did not apply and get a full job description). Just thought it mentioned summat about getting fans to come, old & new. Sorry if I am wrong. Anyway, if you know what wasn't in the advert maybe you can post what WAS in the ad. just to remind us all.

We already have somebody doing that , paid for by the club

The LSV have 2 people trying to bring advertisers,office tennants and sell a myriad other things

Not getting very far though

No the RFL give the money to the club , the club pay the relevant person , but the RFL want to see the results of their activities , which have to be over and above any existing activities the club already achieves and is directly aimed at ' business ' rather than ' personal '

They are clueless , but it sounds good in the press

And? Surely then, that person could assist, or be directed to do something else. Are we understaffed or do we have enough paid people already ?.

At £350 for a dozen blokes on a wet Monday morning in a box with a couple of butties and a brew thrown it, I'm not suprised.

Initially you don't really need that because we fall way short of selling out 2 stands never mind the stadium. You can sit where you want, and of course stand where you want in the 2 stands. So all you do is allocate a set number to internet sales.
What takes up costs nowadays for most people is software. You can get software free, which is just as good as the ones that cost £100's or even £1000's. Indeed its a pity our tax money is going down a bottomless pit with schools, colleges and local authorites prefering to make Billy Gates & co even richer rather than looking for free and better alternatives - but thats for another discussion



Anyway lets pretend we can sort internet ticketing out - like other progressive clubs seem to be able to do. Do you agree a Marketing or whatever the title may be will benefit ? The only question mark is how much, and will we get value which only time will tell.

Without it being linked to the ticketing system, all kinds of bugs come in to play, not to mention the H&S aspect. Without being linked to the actual software in the Ticket Office, it's a non-starter (and as the LSV don't appear to be ar$ed about checking people's season tickets, I can't see it being likely).

As for marketing - well, it all depends on what the aims of the position are, rather than their title. And as the RFL like to remind clubs, the money is in the corporate side of things.

As I posted earlier




I an not trying to be clever or be my usual critic of all things RFL but this is what they stipulate to all clubs not just ours

I have spoken to others about it

It does make me chuckle being directed to the ST card only entrance in the North Stand.... Just to be instructed to go through the turnstyles after showing my ST card........I might show another card in another 30+ days and see what the outcome is ....

Good job us Leythers are all honest folks and don't skim them over the fence for somebody else to use again.

If the fans were as good as the players theyd drop them down a drain
