Given facebook, instagram and Twitter seem to be the preferred medium of choice, is it fair to assess that our PR is being done by a 14 year old with an I-phone now?

Change is a great distraction tactic used by failing performers to hide their own inadequacies.....it seems that the Monkey with an I-phone has learnt from the cricketing supremo and is coning Hughes by coming up with an enthusiastic sales pitch that will ultimately deliver nothing, other than maybe an extra few months employment for himself.

Both the sandwich bar and furniture shop stes are not up/not working/half done......
On further inspection of the 2021 Wilmslow cricket clubs playing squad, it is notable that the same (AFRICAN/GERMANIC) Surname appears on the roster as is also listed as the named director of Key & Eagle.....so basically we've employed someone who built a website for the local village team he (or a relative) plays for.
Exhaustive process appointing suppliers eh Milner.

HaHa I think you hit the nail on the head. Key & Eagle Digital Media have one listed officer. KRUGER, Johannes Chris tiaan. Wilmslow CC # 19 Tiaan Kruger. To be fair did a better job on his cricket club site. It even has links to buy a membership !!

the plank furniture shop hasn't posted for 11 months on Facebook, Le Sandwich since August last year.....the social media arm of K&E seems to be in need of assistance. Maybe Milner can help them out....
According to whois, www. londonbroncos.co.uk is registered, but that registration runs out on April 14th. Has to be better than www.pleasekeeppayingmemrhughes.com or whatever guff they've come up with.

I'm sat here shaking my head in disbelief. I know I shouldn't but I just am!! I'm curious as to how the club managed to find such an unproven, small company to manage communications. Does ML play cricket!! We do have a history of cricket loving officials at the Broncos.
Monkey clearly hasn't come across GF's investigatory talents previously.

| Rather than The Crystal Ball, I will go by this week's PR Weekly, which I was reading last night, we recently appointed a new communications media company in Oxford, to manage its communications and PR covering matters both on and off the pitch. The agency will provide the Broncos with communications and press office support, strategic advice, help to drive engagement and raise the club’s profile.

| Quote ="Traffic"Errors and issues abound it would seem.
I've still to receive three shirts in exchange for three season tickets despite my repeated requests, the last response from the club was 15/3 saying we'll look into it and I only ever get a reply when I instigate comms. No shirts by end of next week and I'll seek a refund instead.
I've also held back on buying season tickets this year, I'm getting a bit disillusioned with the club, it's inactivity to meet its existing committments leaves me thinking why should I throw more money at it?'"
Shirts magically arrived roday, still no contact from the club just a delivery from DHL.

It's genuinely worrying that the clubs new site is a month or so old now and is still a shambles. It is built, as far as I can tell, using something we used to refer to as a "wire frame" template when building HTML emails 2 decades ago. If any MONEY is changing hands for this service then it probably needs to stop.
An individual can build a perfectly good and functioning site using hosts like WIX for no cash outlay. After maybe 2 days to build it, updates can be made instantly from anywhere and whilst not a dynamic product, it would be as good if not better than the current offering. [urlhttps://enlyft.com/tech/products/wix-com[/url
I've also visited apx shop site.
Christ on a Bike.....we are a professional full time elite sports team and whilst I see no benefit in pre-manufacturing products to then sell cheaply or give away unsold, surely we could find a company like KITLOCKER who can access known brands and have a client list that isn't like a village XI hall of fame....aylsbury vale dynamos FC??????
The conflict of interest is staggering and I assume Mr Milner is too busy processing orders from Cottingham Rangers FC to write Press releases, match reports or chase the web company to sort their sh7t out.
Then there's the list of "sponsors" which is essentially a supplier list. "Partners" are mainly paid suppliers who accept a discount on their products or services for a mention in dispatches....like maybe APX or our ticketing, hydration, nutrition, communication, digital media, team travel, first aid, IT support and lottery partners.
The effort that went into building this huge list of entities that don't pay us a farthing is on par with the effort that went into flogging player sponsorships. A few years back, there wasn't much difficulty getting loyal fans to fork out for a photo op and an end of season players shirt, but through decades of neglect, it's becoming a major part of the commercial lead at the company to chase loose change from local companies.
All of this points to a clique mentality of sycophants surrounding an increasingly frustrated owner in the hope of protecting their interests and incomes.
I said yesterday that londonbroncos.co.uk registration lapsed on April 14th.....if the owner doesn't release it, londonbronco.co.uk is available for 99p....the singularity in the name is becoming more apt by the minute.

That may require a level of competence the club may not have.

It's a Wordpress site. They often come free with hosting as the software is open source (i.e. free) and people have heard of it. Download a (free) template and then stick your logos in that template and you're good to go. Need more functionality, download a (free) plugin. A child could do it; children do do it.
And there may be people out there who think Wordpress is fantastic for exactly these reasons. But it's a very, very easy option for people who have no idea about web development who want to claim they are web developers and pull the wool over a gullible client's eyes. There are much better solutions out there (and much better open source ones too): ones that don't have reputation for getting hacked every ten minutes for a start.
