Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

As that person has moved on why are we not employing a replacement?
The job description included stuff like getting old fans back and getting new ones in - not an impossible task is it? It sounded like a no lose situation - we employ a person to attract interest/money and the RL pay his wage ![]()
Not what I was told , and fine though it would be having somebody with that directive paid for by the RFL , without a budget they will achieve nothing

| As there was no job description in full published with the advert I presume 24.7 applied and got a full one? 'cause the bit about old fans etc certainly wasn't in the advert I saw. |

Well, there is experience, in the family. Neil's brother, Richard, was Commercial Manager, in our SL season, but didn't last long in the job. I think he found travelling from Wakefield a bit of a nightmare. |

Not many can last long in that type of position at lower league or unfashionable clubs
Even the ones at big clubs are now struggling , the number of corporate sales info sheets I'v had from premier footy clubs this year has rocketed |

I thought there wasn't enough employed for key positions at the club, and too many are spreading themselves out too thinly etc... Having someone there dedicated to a job to bring money in and paid for outside the club is surely a positive. I really don't think RFL could win with yourself even if they came up with a plan which matched your own word for word that you had pre written..... 
Budget ? What will the person need ? A filing cabinet, a phone and a PC and off he/she goes. Wages paid for, and hopefully a couple of quid added to the pot. |

Most clubs use email. If you have the persons consent to begin with, then there is no problem with trust and why wouldn't people want to know about the towns RL club and "special offers" ?
Anyone can set up a internet shop nowadays. Its not a 5 mins job of course, and it can cost you loads or little depending on how you do it. The most important bit is the encripted secure payment method you use for debit/credit cards. Widnes Vikings for example I suspect didn't cost that much to do but it worked very well when I used it (for our game of course ) |

I doubt many people would be confident in sending their credit card details via e-mail (I know this as a fact from my own experiences as my Nigerian alter ego).
Don't forget that any online ticketing would have to be in conjunction with the LSV, so you can guarantee that's an E-Bay Shop out of the window.
The system that Widnes have got is actually similar to City's and various others - believe me, it doesn't come cheap.
Judging by the turnstiles on Sunday, the LSV aren't ar$ed about checking whether everyone's season tickets are valid, so I certainly doubt they'd want to get fancy in terms of match tickets.

Sorry matt, I wasn't referring to sending credit card details over email. Nobody should ever do that, no matter how convincing the email may seem. Even following links from emails that request your login details or credit card details you should stay clear of.
The Widnes set up was Paypal if I remember correctly. Its not expensive because I looked into it for LISA a while back. |

| Anyway, in summary of course someone dedicated to bringing money into the club would be a good thing.  |
