Vastman has become the apologist for the status quo. If the club is ever going to progress they need to move with the times. Football clubs make a fortune from fans who never go to games through clever marketing of merchandise and media. Increasing crowds would be great but its not the only way a club acan be successful on and off the field.
Would those be football clubs whose budgets run into hundreds of millions of pounds a year?
Would it be football teams whose revenue even three divisions down generally dwarfs Trinity’s?
Let’s be realistic here, we are a club who currently at a guess turnover less than 3 million a year. I know for a fact that the Kingfisher Chippie at Durkar has a similar turnover.
So yes we are stretched even before we take the rebuild into account.
As I say the club are aware of the shortfalls but surely you can see now is not the ideal time to tinker.
Social media done on an industrial level is not as easy as some suggest. It needs doing properly and have a plan. That’s my point. At the moment there simply isn’t the time to sit down and do that.
Surely it’s better to wait a while longer until all the modern facility are in place and do it properly?
Yes you can run social media from a bedroom for some products, but not imho for one as diverse as a RL club.
It’s a shame as we were doing well up until a year ago but sometimes events overwhelm. Just remember though how hard people worked during Covid on social media to keep you all in the loop. There is no lack of effort it’s just plain difficult at the moment.
Might be easier now the players are back at BV, we shall see.
