Exactly. 

I'd like if they announced one a day. It would be a bit rubbish if they announced all in one day

[jroyales]

I'm not bothered, just get them named so as to create a bit of interest.

I have some experience in this sort of thing and it is (or it should be) down to your objectives. So what are the club's objectives? Informing the fans? Awakening interest? Spreading interest? Trying to create an impact? 

I think the objective should be what would impact, positively, on season ticket sales?

If it was me I would announce the big signings, re-signings immediately. This creates an impact and creates a buzz. Then announce the next group of signings so that the fans can the discuss the likely partnerships and pairings based around the big names. 

However it seems the club is opting for the old tried and trusted drip feed option. 

TBH, I'm not hanging on to my phone waiting with bated breath. Now if we had all the big signings announced then maybe I would be.

Is there any truth regarding Moi moi? Expecting him to be announced next week from what I’ve heard

Suppose it's true , along with macnally and Sheridan. With ah van already confirmed. What a buzz there would be. Fans would be looking at signing up for season tickets. News of BP would crash the phone lines for season tickets. Just get on with it.

[moorside roughyed]

They need to let the fans know as soon as they're signed.

Are your season tickets available?

Where will you be playing?

As a promotional strategy all of these things will need to be lined up, otherwise the positive impact of player recruitment will soon wane.

Season tickets normally December 

[jroyales]

Not long then. The way things are going one name a week we will have 6 more players!

Can't someone nudge Chris into sharing with the loyal fanbase ANYTHING?

It is an old method that has failed to generate any extra interest in previous years. One signing announced last week. one!Really ###### info as always from the club. More interested in celebrating 25 years of what? Create some buzz around then get season tickets on sale. Christmas is coming and people will be looking for other things of they are not on sale , again!

Speaking of the dinner, what better way to promote it by having your new team of stars on show and meeting the fans and backers alike

Forward thinking............. 

 

[jroyales]

Looking forward to the next 2 years!

[ManchesterYed]

Hope it’s not not true that we’ve missed out on McNally and Wilkinson 

[moorside roughyed]

We'll never know. That's when people lose interest, when there's very or no information.

[Happyed]

Okay, I’m getting impatient too now! Come on yeds, give us some names!

[jroyales]

I should have said here's to the next exciting 25 years, not 2! In fact, I'd be happy with ONE!!!!!!

[sheddingswasus]

Once again, while many other clubs have their squads named, we have to suffer our clubs awful drip  feed method of marketing. We should now have a squad named ready for the return to training with a constant stream of good news stories as the new squad is developing
