And the championship season. If your happy for the wall of silence in am sorry for the post.... Like I said what is it that you want to know? The only things you mentioned are what's already been announced. The club have answered questions on here previously (Not that they have to). Maybe they will do so again if you tell them what info you're after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As has been said before when there is info to pass on I’m sure the club will do so, as with the new contract with Ellgren and new away shirt, or the Facebook piece re the supporter providing training equipment and help to Jamie Doran and Carl Forber to get coaching qualifications to aid their work with the Workington Town community trust, or Jamie going into the West Cumbria Learning Centre to try and help those that attend as well as sessions at Workington academy. All top quality initiatives that shows the club working with the community which hopefully will benefit both parties. You can concentrate on the negatives if you want, I’ll wait for any info the club put out and just look forward to the challenges that lie ahead.

Last time I looked at the squad we had a few quality players in there and I’m sure after all due processes have been gone through a chairman will be appointed.

The Voodooguru Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I understand some of you want all the squad, shirts, chairman etc done and dusted, and I suppose in a perfect world so would us all, including Chris. Being critical of the club is a bit premature though isn't it? Although I'm making some of this up maybe because our chairman is stepping down, we were the last to know what league we were playing in, and because our directors are part time volunteers, we are a bit behind ideally we would like to be. But what if the home kit hasn't been announced because the main sponsor is linked to who will be the new chairman and they are bringing the sponsorship with them or they want to wait until sufficient replica shirts are available in stock to buy? What if some player targets have been missed out on so others are being spoken to, or others are in place as loan deals which we can't announce yet? What if the club were say we were looking to sign a player and this alerted other clubs closer to where the player lived and we lost him because they made him an offer? Remember what happened to Mick Jenkins? If we get to a fortnight from the start of the season and we are still no further on then the club deserves some criticism but I'd be surprised if the next fortnight doesn't see things become sorted. UTT. The race is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong, but thats the way to bet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MODERATOR: Say what you feel TBW, You are a member of the Town Forum and can express your feelings just like anyone else.(Troutmaster)I understand your frustration at not much news coming from our club,It is a difficult time at the club for our Directors but I am utterly convinced they will be working hard to put a team out on Derwent Park. I am sure Chris will find the players he needs before the first game of the season,So express your feelings and frustrations TBW and there is many more fans going through the same situation has you are..

Nothing underhand, however hard you try to find fault with everything we do. Once the RFL confirmed Blain had been officially released we have put the news out. That's being professional in our eyes again nothing underhand. You are obviously skilled in communication, marketing and sales. Give me an email on graemepeerstownrlfc@gmail.com We'd be happy to discuss if there's a way to share our workload. Trust me there is no wall of silence either. The offer to talk is there.

I don't agree but it's the facts of what as happened since 10th October. Post season review with Chris. Presentation night and awards including announcing resigning of Conor Fitzsimmons. Coaching camp. Over 50 kids in attendance. Halloween party. Over 90 in attendance. Season ticket and confirmed fixtures released. Season ticket sales up in comparison to last year. Community work and partnerships launched or continued. Adding real value to our standing in the community. Interviews with the new signings officially confirmed so far. Evan and Alex by video. Excellent launch video on signing Curtis Teare. Quirky video with Rhys on his resigning. Resignings announced with Brown, Henson, Lightowler, Forber New Merchandise and kit supplier. Blain news officially confirmed. I think basically what your saying is you want some unsubstantiated or unofficial news leaked out that is both highly unprofessional and very inappropriate to the parties involved. When there is news to confirm, we'll inform everyone on the official channels. If you want to discuss any of the above email me. We don't get everything right but you're making out we are. Graeme.

If you honestly think that a kids Halloween party and coaching camp for kids is keeping the fans interested then your doing a great job I'm taking nothing away from the work that probably goes on at the club kids party's and coaching camps are excellent for the club and the future but they will not keep fans interested As from now I won't be commenting on the club as yous have obviously got things in hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
