Unfortunatly Trish didnt allow the staff to have a say in much she was the decision maker and would make you feel about 3 inch's small..A lot of people will vouch for that , i have no personal gripes with Trish but she did things that got under peoples skin as an employer nothing personal. Im sure i wouldnt be welcome back into the fold unless there was new managment from the top to the bottom..
Im sure things happen for a reason , and at the end of the day it was an experience and i got to see my heros on the field as real people which was great. But now im happy to be back on the terrace.. And the best thing to happen to the club was Carolyn Derbyshire! bring her back and we will be back in buisness

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.
