| Quote ="Snoopy"As someone who has worked in an office environment all my life i have seen many instances of people get hold of confidential data they are entrusted with and not treat it as carefully as they have been asked to by the company resulting in cockups like this one. People get hold of passwords because they have been trusted with them/stole them whatever. It doesn't mean the club etc. did something wrong themselves or were negligent. Time people on here got some perspective.'"
Yet another apology for gross incompetence.
Truly you lot deserve to spend your hard earned watching a basket case sports club perform the last rites.

| Cowgirl Nostalgist or should we call you Mary Poppins (Practically Perfect), if you find the CEO so abhorant and most of the efforts the club are making so pointless and less than satisfactory, why don't you (and your cronies like Poplar Panther) put up (address your issues directly with Mackay or Hughes) or shut up .... or better still sling your hook and go and support a more worthy team ?

Being told to put up or shut up by someone who will put up with quite literally anything.
Delicious irony.

Really ? Maybe in the context of 'life', the shenanigans at London Broncos just isn't that big a deal. I get frustrated, sure, but what I wont do is come on here time after time after time and bleat on and on about the same stuff. To me the growth and development of rugby league in these parts is far more important than the failings of a man who clearly is under resourced and possibly not up to the job. So as I say put up or shut up.

Cognitive dissonance seems to be at play in this statement.
Either that or Plum by name & plum by nature.

| Quote ="Dan Stains woz God"Well said, Plummy.
This obsession by some Bronco fans with our CEO, is way over the top and a bit like schoolboys ganging up in the playground. For Chrissakes move on...Gus is not to blame for the meltdown of this club.
The team performances over the last few years are the major reason we are where we are and why people have stayed away (and Gus has nothing to do with the team or the coaching).
Time to get behind the team or STFU!'"
Dan,
The bloke has overseen a dramatic change in the club, from a happy bunch and an inclusive club to an awful lot of people being thoroughly pi55ed off - not just fans but employees. He is a walking disaster area and comes with previous, I was told that they wanted to have a party at the Oval when he left there. Please don't apologise for him he looks after himself. Gutterfax is not the only one whose number he has (unfortunately) and I am sure having been nasty to him again my phone will beep with another pathetic text. I must look up call barring for my phone. The sooner he is gone the better the club will be.

Dear PC, I am sorry If I have offended you, let's call a truce. I have been supporting this team for 34 years and I am going nowhere and I am nobodies crony. This is a forum for free speech and long may it continue. The main problem is that there has been no way to put points to Mssrs Mackay or Hughes for 18 months and hence the rancor on here.
Let's go Broncos 2014!

Ask yourself this question PC. Why has he only got a Skeleton Staff?
Quote ="Dan Stains woz God"...Gus is not to blame for the meltdown of this club.'"
Sorry, but he has had the reigns at the club since Jan 14th 2011. In that time he has hired and fired his own hand picked staff, overseen £6,700,000 worth of losses, 18 wins from 81 SL games, the loss of 1,167 fans per home game, which is a figure that is 52% of last years average, changed the clubs name to cover up his incompetence and spent money doing so, had a Rugby Kit manufactured by a mate from Cricket, alienated the volunteers and many of the long term die hard fans (Paddock bleeds Broncos FFS) and has now given us lock stock and barrel (except for the investment part) to a bloke who wants to sell memberships to his health club rather than season tickets.........He didn't start the problems at the club, not by any stretch of the imagination, but I have to say,
....If Gus Mackay is the answer, then it was a ing stupid question!
COYB and here's to a cracking 2014 season where we surprise everyone and challenge for a top 8 berth!

| Just thought I'd post the response I received from the Hive earlier today. Haven't had a chance to post earlier as I was at a god awful football match.
"Thanks you for your Broncos e-mail observation. We have informed the RFL who put the mail together."

Seriously
To send out an email using SOTIC, who we used for this email BTW, involves typing your messages and building it in HTML format in a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) builder. Then you press a button to see what the email will look like in both HTML and Text formats, before selecting your database/list and pressing send.
A 3 years old chimp can be shown how to do this in 5 minutes flat.
Also, I thought that the Hive were being paid by us to look after this side of the business. They use FL Interactive which is the tool designed and built for the football league. The RFL use Fluid CM......both these organisations will have an email delivery tool that is similar (if not identical) to SOTIC......surely getting it right isn't impossible is it?

Thanks meliferra.Great that you got a response!The key to improving a business is to hear what the punters want. What email did you use to inform of the Broncos mail mistake, may I ask?

Hearing that the error wasn't their fault is hardly at the cutting edge of CRM, but you make a valid point regarding the importance of communication with customers in a modern business.
Given that we are still the London Broncos, I would hope that Gus.Mackay@londonbroncosrl.com would still function as an email address. Offices move daily, but NORMALLY, email addresses remain the same.
As he was the only remaining member of staff left after the 2013 cull, I'd suggest an email to him would get a response of some sorts if the good staff at the Hive can't answer your enquiry.

For me the first port of call is normally info@barnetfc.com.
Then I have the following addresses that I contact direct depending on the issue.
Ticketing - Daniel doriordan@barnetfc.com
Website - Oscar ochamberlain@barnetfc.com
Commercial - John jmeir@barnetfc.com
Because I was in an email conversation about the Back2Barnet.co.uk campaign at the time, I included a note about the mistakes that had been mentioned. If your not getting any joy from the London Bronco addresses then I would use these as they will definitely respond and can always tell you the right address if they can't help directly.
