Sorry if i've missed something posted elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tec Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Probably not it’s all focused on Facebook but I think some comments prior to the AGM on there have upset a few folk and deleted- that’s why we need this forum to wake up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tec Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Volunteers ?? I have no idea what went on .Regardless of that maybe that’s why the club would rather use social media as it can be censored as I believe a lot of comments have been deleted .

Also seems to be a culture where you can't criticise players or the coach without getting a load of abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Club needs to decide where its mouthpiece is and I'm not sure it should be this forum. Can't see the AGM being mentioned on the official website, to me the 'go to' place for news. I should not have to trawl through Twitter, Facebook or this forum for this sort of news, nor for team updates. I had high hopes for the website this year but alas my hopes were dashed. I had high hopes for the stadium clock but after a few games it became apparent it wasn't synced to the games as the Chairman and spectators wanted. It's these little things that matter. And a criticsism of the RFL, how on earth did they decide if you sign up to social media, clubs get more money: clubs need bums on seats, not sat at home listening to the wireless, yep that dates me as a grumpy old man David Taylor @750VFR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tec Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I agree with you 750 the clubs main website should be the reference point for all supporters for all announcements etc .At the moment there does seem to be a mind set that its social media or nothing which brings a number of issues and some people not only old duffers wont use twitter or facebook for various reasons.

Anonymouse Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Clubs earn points and extra funding from the RFL from the amount of Social Media use and interaction between the Clubs and their fan base and supporters . It isn't rocket science why Social Media is used the most . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression funding was based on how many fans register on the RL app which I have done.Does anyone know how much extra funding you can get from the app & social media & how is it quantified ?

It's purpose is specifically for rugby fans as indeed it's title suggests , Total Rugby League Fans Forum , and it is as equally as bad or even worse than any Facbook pages or Twitter feeds .

I want the website to be the 'go to' place for information meanwhile I enjoy looking on here for Idle speculation, rumour and misinformation. A number of us spectators are from Kendal, the club will know this from ST sales or could do so from casual post code enquiries at the gate. 'We' could be the club of South Lakes / South Cumbria.

If you are an old gimmer like me 750 then you will remember when the only information that you got was via the local newspaper, if anywhere at all. Some things have certainly improved. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
