From what I was reading on Facebook, quite a lot of people have contacted the club about this problem, by different means. That contact has been largely ignored. Occasionally he does the "we're aware and sorting it" but nothing happens. I think it's quite clear he has no intention of doing anything about it.

It's things like this that makes me totally distrust Mr. Chalmers though (others too, but this is such a clear cut thing which makes it a good example). If he has no intention of doing anything about it, just say so. People may not be happy with "Yeah we know he's an idiot, but he's cheap and we can't afford anyone better to do the job", but at least it's honest.

I would suggest e-mailing the club generic mail address, or contacting them via social media is also totally pointless on this subject. It'll be the same halfwit that reads those, so he'll just ignore it or delete it without passing on the info. Sending the info to Chalmers direct is definitely the way, or at least it would be if the bloke gave two sheets.

Well I emailed him directly the day after the forum. That email was opened as I got a receipt through. I never received a reply.

Which IMO is another example that he's really not that bothered about the idiot doing the job. He seems content with the medicore output, but considering the output from other departments, that seems to be something that's throughout the club anyway.

The issue with the media releases is known at the club. I know that for a fact. The thing that worries me is that if they can get that wrong and do nothing about it what else is going to pot? It doesn't inspire me with any confidence. I remember reading in the old Running with the Bulls book (the story 95-97 by Graham Clay IIRC) it mentioned how the club had an ethos that "if you're going to do something do it with quality". That kind of attention to detail seems to have gone out of the window in this area at least.

If I was a potential sponsor would I want to be associated with a club that can't spell it's own press releases? I may be getting a bee in my bonnet about this issue but it nags me that they're aware of it and have done bugger all about it.

I know what you mean. Gets my goat too all this bad grammar and punctuation. Speaking of which, have you all received the email inviting you to the end of season bash? The invite says"The Provident End of Season Awards
Hello , The Bradford Bulls would like to Invite you to the Provident End of Season Awards Evening, Priced at £45 per person or £450 for a Table a 10 that comes with two complimentary bottles of wine."

Perhaps the Bulls scriptwriter is on holiday ?

Last night's tweet about the academy took three attempts before he got it right. At one point it referred to us having one of the most "infamous academy's" in the game.

A former poster on here describes his style as being like Les Dawson playing the piano.

Are you Geoffrey Chaucer?

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.

If these errors changed the meaning sufficiently to make it unintelligible, I would agree with you. In the meantime I will enjoy the more colourful language than the usual bland pasteurised PR's contain, and focus my concerns on who the experienced players are for next year as that will have far more impact on the results.

Glad someone's happy with it.

Well the new online store is up and running. Obviously not much stock yet, but at least it's ready before the new stock arrives for Christmas which is the main thing. Hopefully the guy who does twitter hasn't been let near the pricing

Good to see we've finally got an online shop. So one thing ticked off the list for me.

That's a monkey's actually

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
