I think you are mixing two activities together. The Wolfie antics are all about Publicity, or in KF speak 'brand awareness'. Marketing is all about promoting the product - the benefits, superiority to its competitors etc. I suppose with Man U, Man City, Liverpool within easy reach, plus all the other sports and activities available at the weekend (fishing at Bridge Foot, hang gliding from the Lever spray drying tower etc, etc), KF has decided that we need some brand awareness. Ironically, the Wire Hockey team is probably a very good example of raising awareness of a new club / activity. I suppose for newbies, or people who had got into the rut of hand gliding every week, the publicity should say 'there is other stuff you can do as well'. The Marketing will be reliant on the spectacle of the rugby and winning the CC, and the first of those may be a bit of a hard sell atm.

Well the servers have been taken down for planned maintenance so it would appear the new website is coming.

Pretty -poor,
as my school report used to say: could do better !

I just don't get the lack of information or 'publicity' over the 'new' website. Perhaps it is not a new website but just an upgrade of some sort so excitement needs to be tempered. This 'silence' might maker more sense then, so as to lower peoples expectations. When you see the club expanding its presence on other social media outlets this website issue is strange. If it has all gone awol, which can happen with IT related projects, why not just say so although a readiness for a new season would seem an obvious target / objective.

I fail to see why our Challenge Cup win (4.5 months ago) does not feature on our honours board.

I guess because they see a new site coming and feel their time would be better spent elsewhere? It should have been updated but it's a minor annoyance surely?

It's the principle for me.

If "new website coming" was the reason to have a moratorium on web updates then it doesn't make sense that they updated the website with a news story such as the renaming of the One Energy Legends Lounge.

Honours are hard won and span and out-live CEOs, directors, owners, players and fans. They stand for all time and are the historic achievements of the club. They are the written testament of the entire raison d'être and proud record of the club. FFS it's a 1 minute job and should have been updated months ago if they gave a to$$.

Exactly, its not like that sort of update would take a major upgrade that is not worth doing if you're going to revamp the website anyway....its a quick update. Not doing it is just laziness and not really caring, which says it all.

KF makes big claims to the media: "We don't measure ourselves against other Super League clubs, we measure ourselves against the biggest sporting brands in the world". If you have that sort of ambition you have to be on top of details.

Tottenham Hotspur are in football probably in a similar relative position to us, aspirational of breaking the oligopoly of the top teams, ambitious off the field. Daniel Levy wants to build Spurs brand and says similar sort of stuff to KF about competing with biggest sporting brands in the world. But its a lot more convincing from him.

If Spurs won the FA Cup, how quickly would their website be updated? Do you reckon Levy would let them get away with leaving it for months?

Overall the club website isn't bad. The colours look great. They have a good sense of design. There's obviously talent at the club staff off the field as well as on it, I think they need some better management to get the best out of the club's potential. I definitely felt like we were a better run organisation when Gatcliffe was here.

Its not even a minute job it'd take seconds. Also i see KF is at it again - lying about Gelling choosing us over Wigan due to our squad being better. More free team talks for the opposition. He's a liability...and a buffoon.

Yeah this type of talk is what you say if you don't really believe you are the best, but you want to talk yourself up.

He's saying in the Warrington Guardian that it was very disappointing that we didn't beat Wigan four times out of four last year and he 'expects us to complete a clean sweep over them' this year.

In Super League anyone can beat anyone. Saying you expect us to clean sweep Hull KR or Toronto Wolfpack is asking for trouble. Talking like that about Wigan is ridiculous.

Look at how Jurgen Klopp carries himself now Liverpool are winning all the time. He's not a boring cliched rent-a-quote, he manages the media well, but you would never get him saying something like 'well I expect us to do the clean sweep over United, with the quality of our squad!' He lets results do the talking and he respects his opponents.

We're playing Wigan first game of the season, so if we lose that, KF is already a laughing stock with his talk of clean sweep.
