RP London Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 2 minutes ago, gingerjon said: Vaguely interestingly: Saracens have only just started doing it but with an established team that were already called Mavericks (with various names before the nickanme). The team is now Saracens Mavericks and a bit of a mish mash. I suspect they will eventually drop the Mavericks part and become more integrated to the bigger club. Rhinos being linked to rugby league was useful last night as we had the netball commentators extolling the virtues of TGG whilst promoting the upcoming live coverage. I knew there was something Saracens had done but then couldn't remember seeing their name that prominently lately, that explains it though ta. The cross over of each can be useful as it opens up other sports for kids to enjoy because they already have a team to support so it seems more natural. It also becomes a name you just expect to see in sport and rivalries build across multi platforms etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is, of course, a link to the commercial manager's other business where you can buy a replica shirt. And have you raised this with them, or do you just whinge pointlessly?

I'm not whinging, I'm pointing out how awful the club's management is. The fact it comes across as whinging demonstrates just how often mistakes are made, and horrifically basic mistakes at that. Who on earth launches a dog's breakfast of a website, then spends a week fixing it up, and still manages to leave off something as important as the place to buy tickets? Still, as long as AFCW get their £200,000 (and the commercial manager's business gets a few sales) who cares about such piffling details? "Just as we had been Cathars, we were treizistes, men apart."

So yes, but not all of it. Ah right thanks for the information MOK. I’d love to see a strong Broncos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the previous incarnation, it doesn't seem as if the audience for the site is fans. Instead it's just stuff that James Milner is directly interested in - lotto, sponsors and kit. But I see from the staff list there is another person in the commercial team. Good. I guess it depends what 'commercial and marketing' covers but I still see no media, sales, community, etc., which is likely why it's not possible to buy a membership or find a link to purchase a future streamed match from the site. Perhaps that is a conscious decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleep1673 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Just as a point of interest with regards Rosslyn Park, they don't include the word Rugby in their title, and Martin Offiah was signed from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
