LightningWB Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Out of interest, after another Email highlighting that the teams within the NCL aren't supporting the social outreach for our sponsors, what's stopping clubs from doing so? Do all clubs use their social media channels? Character limitation? Personally I find it hard to fit it all in the tweet by the time you've put in your own sponsors that you've managed to get on board to support your club for the season...

Prioritise the sponsors before the rest. They are looking at the hits and if all clubs do the same we are north of 100k per week. That will keep them happy and the League gets the continued investment, Won't happen otherwise. Lose the sponsorship and the clubs will get billed directly. Same with the shirt deal. About time some of our members looked at collective bargaining rather than individual deals. When that is recognised we will be the most powerful force in the whole game for requirement acquisitions .Far too much back scratching seems to be going on at the moment... Sorry to have to say it but even the NCL have to drag their members and this game into the 21st century...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With some of the clubs this saying springs to mind, You can lead a horse to water ......................... Or is it that some think they are better than the others and they will just do there own thing. What amused me last week that Rhino put out a tweet offering the chance to win a full junior kit and a couple of the clubs who hadnt taken the ncl shirt deal retweeted the offer to try and win it.

You don't have to put the sponsors on every post, just the ones that gain the most traction e.g; the game day posts with time of kick off and who you're facing etc. I'm not sure what the NCL can do to motivate those who aren't involved in the kit deal as they have a deal with a supplier elsewhere, I know previously they held the travel allowance as hostage but I don't believe that's an option anymore.

Perhaps someone who attended the meeting could elaborate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cumbria1 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 That’s great for Cumbrian teams considering they travel the further than most teams to Away games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure that the travel grant has a great bearing on clubs, as I have said previously it pays for one trip from Yorkshire to warrington, yes the Cumbrians get more but probably only pays for a couple trips, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
