Dear god no! You have no idea.. Andew Bentham is the one that has kept the coporate side going for more than 15 years now not 3 season wonder Trish Goldsmith ok!

Good idea but i doubt it if chris would even walk back into that job

Very good friend and now Ex work colleague of mine, I moved on to another College she stayed doing a wonderful job in Harpurhey where she is the Sheriff.

Some of the posts on this subject are not doing the poster's or the club any good whatsoever and I wonder just what the club has to do to try and keep everybody happy at the same time.

Yes the club should have a well stocked shop full of all the nice things that the fans want but many fans do not want to pay for the goodies they want them free of charge.

The club should have an on-line store but in the past the sales haven't been strong enough to keep it going.

The club needs a good marketing person we got one(in my opinion)with Trish Goldsmith but she was too pushy for some people but not enough for some others.

We replace Trish with another marketing person who by all accounts is working very hard in the community, but nobody knows what he is involved with although Robbie Paul at the Forever Reds meeting lavished praise on Adam Jude's role at the club.

The club needs a larger marketing budget than at present but where does the money come from?There must be a limit on what the directors can make available certainly in the current climate.

The club does need to make enquiries in to what its supporters expect from the club shop/offices etc, as Bigpev states, but all the supporters need to support the club in a more direct way than is happening at present.

How can this be done?

Get a season ticket.
Join the lottery.
If you haven't got any shares then get some.
Join Forever Reds if you haven't already done so.
Buy goods from the club shop.
Bring a friend/friends to matches.
Buy a Golden gamble ticket.

I'm off now to make sure that no Rhino fan's pinch my seat, I will buy a Golden Gamble ticket, and support Stuart Littler's testimonial raffle and if we win anything can happen.

Spot on. Too many hangers on involved at the club.
