was waiting for the team on sunday ....... and seen that salford twitter page had,nt been updated for 4 days ffs salford get with the times ....

I might sound like a broken record but this infuriates me with the club. It's the same with the facebook page, so amateurish it's untrue. I would do it for free if it meant it got done properly.

Do we even use social media any more or has the club given up on it?

I've asked about Friday on twitter and Facebook and haven't had a reply.

Wasn't it the McNally brothers who did the social networking for the club? And correct me if I'm wrong haven't they both been moved on since our new CEO arrives Hense things all going quiet.

Moved on to what?

Things were quiet whilst the McNally brothers were here. I'm hoping this jobs for the boys culture is quickly eradicated and we get staff who are actually decent at the job they're employed to do.

Given the boot.

Just to let all you defeatists who dont know anything,,, Steve & Paul haven't been given the boot. Paul is still working for the Salford City Reds as Media Manager.. Whilst Steve is moving to America to take on a new job in American Sports.. as an ex- employee from way back in the Willows days may i say good look to them both

Always though with this that getting one of the younger more tech savvy members of the squad to look after this would be a good idea.

Let's hope if the club are going to do this right from next season onwards that it is managed and updated regularly and for me just as importantly that all members and employees are given a code of conduct to follow.

With the way the job market is going, you could get a graduate on a 12-month internship in to look after all of the social media full time.

Media manager? So what does that job constitute, putting a video interview up on the website every 6 months..

Won't be long until Paul is moved on, both need moving on we need somebody at the club who has more high profile experience instead of their family members being a friend of of John Wilkinson.

I can't believe how people have Such short memories. Those two brothers did their upmost to keep everyone informed during the bad times and it would have been a bad time without them. Media manager means just that ,dealing with the media, not sitting on his backside all day to answer texts from fans. I for one thought they did a great job during the bad patch and now they can only report things of which they know and are allowed to disclose. Good luck to Steve and his wife on their new venture and to Paul,keep the news coming.

As someone on the outside looking in, lack of reporting due to disclosure does not mean that something new can't be put up on a regular basis. Sometimes it's literally weeks before things are updated. The irony is that social media and websites are not labour intensive operations. They can be done remotely, and in this day and age it's almost criminal that the Club have fallen so far behind in this regard.

Take a look at this very simple web site -

rlhttps://www.devonsharksrl.co.uk/rl

An amateur Club way away from the heartlands of RL. It may not be snazzy but it has features that Salford have never but should have.

It's updated regularly.
They have up to date stats.
They sell merchandise online.
They provide matchday programmes as PDF files for you to browse online at home.
They have a regularly updated Facebook and Twitter page.

Now if a small amateur Club can manage it why can't Salford?

I'm sorry but that's utter rubbish. There is always news to report with a professional sports club, it really isnt hard. If you're close friends with Paul our "media manager" here's a few tips you want to throw his way;

1. Regular updates of the clubs website, facebook and twitter pages.
2. Updates can include anything from insight on training sessions, team days out, regular interviews with various management/playing staff (has anybody heard an interview from Stuart Donlan and/or Andy Hay since they joined the club) theres over 30 staff who could be interviewed over the course of the season and it only takes 5 mins to ask some questions, birthday mentions to said management/playing staff, quiz questions, competitions (share or retweet to win) etc.
3. Highlights from all games, not just the ones we win. These are put on youtube by Super League weekly and could easily be transferred onto our official site with links posted on facebook and twitter.

It's so simple, yet were so bad at doing it.
