Quote ="sally cinnamon"The purpose of the club website isn't to remind existing fans what they have won, its presenting the club brand to the rest of the world and most importantly to the new audience.
Surely "2019 Challenge Cup Winners" should be a key part of the brand that we should be shouting from the rooftops. It shouldn't just be about whether the bit in the honours section was updated.
I remember back when Bradford Bulls were a thing, they beat Newcastle Knights in the WCC game and they had the whole "follow the World Champions" branding ready to go next day.
For any fan potentially new to rugby league who is browsing about the club website I would want them to pick up some messages pretty quickly:
- we're one of the better teams
- we've won four Challenge Cups in the past decade
- there's a lineage of legends at the club, including the greatest try scorer in history
- we've just signed Gareth Widdop who is a big deal
- Blake Austin has a highlights montage that would make say a general RU or sports fan think, this guy is worth watching
I know you probably think that me and Wires71 have a bee in our bonnet about a petty point and hopefully when the new website is launched it will all go away.
I think what grates with me more than the general sloppiness is that if I was working at the club and had access to updating the website, I'd have gone on and updated the 2019 win to the club honours board on the night of the cup final win. Not because it was my job but because I'd just want to see it when I clicked refresh and it was up there proudly on the page. We haven't won that many trophies since I've watched the club so I want that to be something we make a big deal of.
I'm also a bit disappointed that in general the fanbase seems to have taken a 'meh, it was ok' attitude to winning that cup. It was the best big game performance I've ever seen from a Wire team. We made a far bigger deal over losing at Wembley in 1990 than we did of winning in 2019.'"
My website was updated with the Challenge Cup win by 10pm on the Saturday night!
The previous honours page was incomplete anyway (in relation to the South West Lancs League for example). Tbf, the club have acknowledged this, and I believe are doing something about it with the new site.
For those interested, my site is www.warringtonrugbyheritage.com |

That's the normal sort of thing you'd do.

Indeed. Sadly it didn't. |

That was the plan, but for some reason it was delayed. The version I’ve seen looks final now, so expect this imminently... |
