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.

Still has to have a live link to a ticketing system, server etc. Fair play to Widnes in cutting the costs in some respects by using PayPal, but that's only a fraction of the costs involved.

Think the fact is that a) we have to get used to the fact that we can't cut corners financially as appeared to be the case at HP b) no amount of marketing is going to make people watch a side getting thumped every week, and more so charge them £14-16 for the privelige and c) we need to concentrate on retaining existing fans before even thinking about attracting new ones.

And? Surely then, that person could assist, or be directed to do something else. Are we understaffed or do we have enough paid people already ?.

At £350 for a dozen blokes on a wet Monday morning in a box with a couple of butties and a brew thrown it, I'm not suprised.

Initially you don't really need that because we fall way short of selling out 2 stands never mind the stadium. You can sit where you want, and of course stand where you want in the 2 stands. So all you do is allocate a set number to internet sales.
What takes up costs nowadays for most people is software. You can get software free, which is just as good as the ones that cost £100's or even £1000's. Indeed its a pity our tax money is going down a bottomless pit with schools, colleges and local authorites prefering to make Billy Gates & co even richer rather than looking for free and better alternatives - but thats for another discussion

Anyway lets pretend we can sort internet ticketing out - like other progressive clubs seem to be able to do. Do you agree a Marketing or whatever the title may be will benefit ? The only question mark is how much, and will we get value which only time will tell.

As I posted earlier




I an not trying to be clever or be my usual critic of all things RFL but this is what they stipulate to all clubs not just ours

I have spoken to others about it

It does make me chuckle being directed to the ST card only entrance in the North Stand.... Just to be instructed to go through the turnstyles after showing my ST card........I might show another card in another 30+ days and see what the outcome is ....
