No problem Lynda and I'm sorry for being a bit rude in my reply but I'm really pee'd off about this.

Its not ben a good day all round Mish, Im going sink a few tonight, feel really gutted that MY club seem to have sold part of their souls, to have a "partnership" with Wigan.

So bloody what if it has come out like this. Who the hell cares. It's a great thing for the club if it comes off. Yet again we are going through a thread riddled with petty arguments. I'm getting a bit sick of this in fighting amoungst people who claim to be in it solely for the good of the club. Just get on and do it or don't do it. It all reminds me of I Claudius this with the bloody back biting and stabbing. What is it, a competition of "who gets the better thought of by the club"?

Well wouldn't it be nice - just for once - if the club could announce something themselves without someone trying to spoil it for them.

The announcement should always come from the club first. (as it should have about the arrangement with Wigan) The reason that it hasn't is that it's still being discussed - it's still a 'work in progress' . There are a group of people working on this and they are meeting again on Monday night to (hopefully) finalise things.

As for the BOD, I don't know whether they up to date with progress with this project. A member of the BOD is leading this. Presumably he will involve the rest of the BOD as and when he's ready.

I still think that, if we are putting 'teasers' into the public domain, then someone may well guess what's going on - and I'm sure that was the case with Lynda.

Oh, and when all the dust settles, I hope and believe this could be a good earner for the club, and a massive way of putting our 'brand' before potential supporters, and sponsors

For what it is worth, I saw the tweet in question the other week and straight away figured out what is was, I don't think it takes any real genius to have put two and two together and you really cannot blame any one individual for guessing correctly on here.

Sorry just to reiterate ONCE AGAIN. I am in no way laying any blame at Lynda's door for guessing correctly.

Apart from the way this has been handled, it will be really good for the club and it's fans and will give everyone the chance to 'get to know' our players and staff and obviously raise a bit of money for the club in return.

Teasers are a marketing strategy used by (for instance) TV companies it's a tried and tested method and this is what we have done in this instance something that we discussed in our last meeting and was decided on all we have to do is now have further discussions amongst ourselves and implement other things we have discussed and once the final arrangements are known John Roddy will present them to the BOD for their final agreement (or not).
We as a media group have been tasked by the BOD to put in place certain things so we will hardly go to a full Board meeting until those things are finalized, and before any clever dick says/asks it press bulletins are not in our remit.
I used the 'lucky guess' again as a marketing tool to gauge reaction from who will hopefully be our customers, something I note not one person has fully reacted to.
I took it on myself without consultation as I felt it was right to do as per above, something that John Roddy agreed with later but to be fair on him he had no choice as it was a done deed.
People on here go on about a lack of marketing we tried perhaps the simplest form of the 'art' and still get criticized hey ho so is life.

So I ask again the question How much would be a fair charge a) monthly b) seasonally? so hopefully we can suggest a figure in our pre-report.

Then it'll probably be discussed this coming Wednesday, when this months board meeting is.

I was thinking around £50 a year or £5 a month

wIGAN CHARGE £4.99 A MONTH AND £35 FOR THE YEAR.

Thats a good deal

There are a number of people who can't get to games for various reasons, if it was priced correctly they will probably welcome it. £5/month sounds reasonable with £50/year paid up front.
