|Things are getting better but why are we relying on Twitter to find out what s going on, the clubs asking for us all to support them, let get word out whos on board and whats happening and get people excited about next season.
Then we can ask them for money for season tickets, Lisa membership, or touchdown membership s and use this to say, with more people signing up to these, we can have more signings like ........... or ............

I would expect they would wish to unveil several players all in one go at the Fans Forum - weren't some players kept under wraps until the Season Launch last season?

statement at sum point today i've been told, excited is an understatement

Im Sure they did say at the touchdown launch last night that some signings would be announced today. we watched them sign last night

I would like all to be revealed at fans forum now. I have heard a few things but let's keep everyone nervous and excited so they get there butts to the meeting .

Social media will always be quicker than 'official' channels - unless you have a full time communications person or something.
That said, more savvy orgs even "leak" news through social media deliberately to create a sense of "i knew first" among followers.
All clever stuff I suppose - but we are not there yet.

//p.

The mechanisms are in place - in addition to Twitter - to make club announcements, but those mechanisms await the club authorisation to go ahead. At the Gold Touchdown launch last night, I also heard that there would be announcements on some signings today. Some of the players were actually in contract discussions last night, prior to signing contracts.

Remember, it is only last Friday, that those players who haven't left, received their final 2011 salary payments. I don't think any of us would have expected them to sign new contracts, before that happened.

Nice to see improvements anyway, hope things get better as the season goes on.
