I doubt the club would have been allowed to do any kind of marketing during the Olympics Park and Ride as the IOC and LOCOG have draconian measures in place to ensure that nothing is allowed to detract away from an Olympic event and the branding.

You must surley work for the club Ex.SALF.UNI? Or are your specs really that rose tinted?

Does everything need to be posted on here now as well?

I don't think they'd find much use for a software programmer.
My opinions may not tow the common line on here but at least they're my own. With that in mind, I'd suggest mine are amongst the least tinted specs you'll find. You're not the first to say this, which is quite telling of how anyone not indulging in the perennial gang misery looks like an outsider.

This "Us (Turkey) vs Them (Club)" mentality on here has slowly ruined what used to be a good use of my lunch hour.

I'd have more time for someone questioning the club's actions BEFORE an event like this, not just running here afterward to 'join the club'.

And yet, if he'd come on here before/on the day screaming "THE CLUB HAVE NOT TAKEN UP MY OFFER OF HELP, THEY'RE MISSING OUT!" you'd have probably still had a go at him for criticising the club.

Believe it or not, people do have lives away from here. People have contact with the club that is not discussed on the Turkey, or not relevant to to Turkey discussions until afterwards. That's just the way of things. Posting something immediately doesn't give you any extra credibility.

Probably. I just love a good f*cking whinge at someone me.


You've made my point beautifully. It's not relevant here until there's a problem, then it's like throwing a chip to a flock of pigeons.

It's official. Unless you post something on the Turkey IMMEDIATELY then EX.SALF.UNI won't believe you. Shame on you,
Karlos13, for jumping on the bandwagon. Fook me.



Not as impressed as I would be if someone at the club had managed that.



It ain't that far off the mark from what you're insinuating.



Yes they are and does it have to be overtime pay? People would have volunteered their time (although they never posted that on here, so you don't believe that they would) so you could do it without any extra cost. Or even, get this for an idea, if it was a paid member of staff dishing out leaflets or opening the shop up you could give them another day off during the week. Funny, that. I often end up working the odd Saturday and get another day off in lieu, happens in plenty of places, I'm sure Salford could manage it. And even if you can't find cover for the day they take off, you could even put advanced warning out into the wider world that the shop will be shut one extra day during the week. Although I do apologise if such moves would be a bit too forward thinking for both yourself and Salford RLFC.



If we don't have even the smallest marketing budget, we're even more f*cked than some people are suggesting. However, you could always get said marketing materials sponsored. That was discussed on here not that long ago, strangely enough. Plenty of other organisations do that. I'm sure someone would be willing to pay a few quid to have their logo/company name slapped on a cheap leaflet. Again, though, that could be too forward thinking and advanced.



Surely that's the case with a lot of marketing? The opportunity was there to at least try it. Even having a pop-up banner somewhere (rlyou know, something like thisrl) with a table, couple of leaflets and fixture lists would've been something. Maybe have the shop open for a couple of hours?



Ah, right, of course, anyone else who asked the question didn't back it up with a post on the Turkey, therefore it clearly never happened. Tell me, do you walk round with two pencils stuck up your nose and a pair of underpants on your head?

Why are you sharing your genius with me? I don't give a t*ss. Go and enlighten those who stand to benefit.

I think you just prefer to consider yourself some kind of oracle.



You seem to have missed my point beautifully. Just because something has not been relevant or discussed on here previously does not mean that it's not a purposeful, relevant discussion around Salford.

Tell you what, everytime I hear something in the pub, talk about something with my mates or read something on the club's Facebook page I'll post it on here straight away. That way we can all have a relevant discussion and make sure everything is fully justified in your eyes.

I was asked a question. I gave MY opinion. Then the usual sh*t-storm kicked off because I wasn't found to be nodding, tutting and despairing with everyone else.

You're as bored of the 'discussion' on this site as I am. It just irks you to have to write anything contrary the hateful few who bother to post because you've set you're anti-club stall out. How boring.


Waste of time. Just cut to the juicy bits - the chronic f*cking whinging.

Anti-club? Far from it. Some of us attempt to have some decent, constructive debate about the club and are not on the Mitie Mouse/Dantes Inferno side of thinking. If you paid attention, you'd notice that I do give the club credit where possible and don't blame JW and the other directors for things that go wrong. Instead you've decided to automatically label me as a completely anti-club, anti-Wilky type poster.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - it is possible to find the middle ground on the subject. It's just a pity that some people still can't recognise that. That is what irks me, nothing else.

Oh - and it would be "your anti-club stall". Get it right.

The club came to do a promotional day at my workplace and managed to knock up some cheap (but good quality) fliers to hand out so I fail to see why they couldn't use the foresight to do so for the vehicles left during the park and ride.

Though we are all assuming the club hasn't sort permission to do this and been denied by the SMC.
