Sima Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 I'd have still been livid about that tackle from Ferdinand on Ba if I'd given a fuck at the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack27 Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 The budget there must be lacking but I’ve found that a lot of non-football things atm are just a bit shit? Content is few and far between Digital is sub par Social media is fine but hasn’t really improved The whole club just needs a boost Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Think I posted this before but I was indirectly privy to the app process and the budget was a lot lower than anticipated compared to similarly-sized clubs. The site was quite late too but that's not unusual all in sports tech/tech. I was also told there'd be a fairly important expansion of staff this summer but it didn't seem to happen - the club still seem to outsource a lot.

gbandit Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Thanks for sharing. It does feel like a very simple area to make significant improvements on. Maybe their focus is elsewhere currently though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The word at the time was more about hiring specialists in areas of product & function. I guess we've hired the Head of Ticketing role but I'd be surprised if that person is so operational that they're involved in the running & management of the tech itself. Same with retail, hospitality etc. Things can obviously change so maybe something happened, but this wasn't that long ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a look every now and then at the club's LinkedIn page and there are a lot more "Head of" type positions filled now which is encouraging. Big build it and they will come energy, just wish it was being built a little quicker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They recently advertised for digital content, social media, and IT staff. It sounds like they will be bringing full time staff on board and know that they need to improve. It should probably have been done 3 years ago though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Was thinking about the League Cup and this new European competition format. Two rounds of games in January and 2 rounds again if you need a playoff for the last 16. This could be huge for the league cup in terms of the bigger teams. There's certainly a chance of weakened teams being played. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groundhog63 Posted Sunday at 17:45 Share Posted Sunday at 17:45 Had a bit X crack earlier referencing Steve Carney and Alan Shoulder. Obvs the Blyth' FA Cup run that got them signed to us and I remembered a Blyth link with another ex-player, Peter Cartwright. Turns out he played for Shields before the Toon then Blyth after. Also ended up a Maths teacher up the road from me at Astley High Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted Monday at 10:56 Share Posted Monday at 10:56 This match got mentioned on the Totally Football Show today. I'd heard about it but never seen. The thing is, Beardsley isn't even the worst keeper that day. I'm not sure I've seen such a set of shambolic keeping performances, including by the actual keeper. Then you've got an own goal too. What a state Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
