Of course it’s a marketing strategy. We are going to create a buzz with multiple announcements when we launch the new kit, sponsors, season tickets and squad. All other clubs have made the majority of their announcements already and we are in pole position to have all the air time in the trade and local press. Good strategy in my opinion. Can only ramp up the excitement with the fans when the press releases start to happen.

Stop talking sense, or you won’t be made welcome on here

Personally, I'm more on favour of the constant drip-feed of information, (about all aspects of the club, not just recruitment) to maintain interest, and profile. But there you go, we all see things differently, and who knows which is the 'right' way?

P.S. Not criticising your views C&W - I fully respect them.

Your going to get a constant drip feed of information to coincide with ST details, shirt launch etc etc- what are you expecting them to tell you about the club in October

Apparently we have signed Aussie prop or second rower Nick Grohe.

Who He ?

Any investment in youth or a pathway on the cards? Or are we all in again?

I saw him at the lights tonight. He said you’re Atomic, I said too right.

WTF are 'special circumstances'. I assume you mean 'special measures'. The answer to which is no. I also predict that at least one of the player signing 'rules' stated earlier will be broken.

Most of the other clubs seem to be passing on information, about the things you mention, plus player retentions, departures, and signings. I'm just saying that a lot of clubs seem to prefer the drip feed from Autumn onwards. Which way is the 'right' one - who knows?

I agree with this. Not sure what good a 'feast or famine' approach to comms would do. Names of players signed are being reported already anyway, so any official press release will now have reduced impact.

There'll be people already mulling over the idea of a season ticket before people buy Christmas presents, having news of next season's squad out already would do no harm at all.
