| I am wondering if there is going to be the usual style of a fans forum with an offer of some good news to stem the tide before the barrage of potential abuse? I am not sure this meeting would be stemmed by the minimal good news that it normally offers up. I suspect something might be afoot as the timing leaves them either very under the hammer or naive to say the least? must believe they either have enough to answer the majority of questions i suspect they are already expecting. Just hope it isn't "hi folks great news Geoff and Andrew are definitely staying on next year". hmm lead balloon, rotting apples and pitch forks may all come out in force. Cant make it tonight but wanted to come so hoping for some updates.

Sadly the prices are still gonna put people off, but at least it's a step in the right direction. The sheer amount of time it's taken to get this going is ridiculous, but at least it's there now so bright sides and all that.
As far as the halfwit in charge of the website and social media goes, I'm glad some people find it amusing or entertaining. I'll continue to find it a total embarrassment and genuinely worrying that nobody at the club seems to give a monkeys.

Doesn't amaze me unfortunately. I run a number of leisure facilities for a well established Russell Group university and when I sat down with the finance department to discuss online payments and memberships I was told it would take 18 months to put such a project into place.
Wonder if they are using the same infrastructure team

Some of the spelling mistakes are the wrong word spelt correctly rather than the right word spelled incorrectly. So the spelling-checker (thanks FA for the reminder about hyphenation, much under-used) does not pick it up, nor will it pick up the same word that can be spelled in different ways, as I have just illustrated. For the most part it is as you say, a strange indeed sometimes bizarre choice of words and turn of phrase, which I find refreshing and amusing. One thing we can say for certain is that language changes.
As for everybody else being perfect, the funniest and most apposite error I have seen recently was in an advert by a global recruitment agency. One of the person specifications read:
-Keen attendtion to detail.
To be fair, that's not really the point Martin.
To use come back to else's metaphor, I like Les Dawson's piano playing, but wouldn't put it forward as an example of how to do it. It's also, for an accomplished pianist like Les, actually quite difficult to master, but more importantly intended as comedy and quite brilliantly done. All quite unlike the club's press releases. These are intended to inform and, as any employer would surely have suggested, to give an important first impression of the club to the site's visitors.
The impression given is certainly, 'quirky', but also conveys amateurishness, as though the club is run by people who are semi literate at best. The club is a business, not a message board and should be treated as such by any the owners. I appreciate money is tight but they can't allow this to continue, though I guess Duffers wouldn't want any further duties added to his shift, he is one guy who can put a press release out properly and really ought be brought back to either do this work or at least to, 'advise', whoever is doing it.
Not that I'll try holding my breath...
