I know this is a long way from being our top priority but the state of the website is a joke and just reinforces the impression some have that the club doesn't have one or more of the money, capacity or aptitude to sell itself as it needs to (and I'm not getting into the "people won't come to watch us given the current standard no matter how much money you spend" discussion). It's used for brief squad announcements and painfully rose-tinted match summaries - nothing more. There are minimal injury updates or meaningful comments from RP or the players and no forward looking plans or anything like that - at least they seem to have stopped forcing one player each week to promise that they've learned from the previous week's mistakes and have been working hard in training etc etc. The main photo on the website was there last season and it just all feels as though we're doing the minimum to keep it updated; one of the main headlines is two weeks old. I've seen more vibrant village cricket club websites.

The matchday experience feels equally cheap. The least impressive cheerleaders we've ever had, Buck & Dusty barely engaging with the crowd, announcements you can't hear, ill timed music (i.e. playing "The Show Must Go On" when the oppo score a try - really motivating!).

I'd swap all of the above for a team that wins more than 1 in 3 home games but this all feels very dispiriting to me and evidence that we're just doing enough to get by.

I don't have any solutions and apologies for being so negative but I need to vent!

I like that.

I'd also like to see themed days at home games as well, to add to the overall atmosphere. It's just as important to have a good show off-the-field, as on it, if we want to welcome families back.
For example:
Medieval day - Living up to our name and having jesters, juggling, knights, wizards, kids' run the gauntlet challenges, face painting, food etc. We could bring back that dragon mascot that was there on Saturday.
Beach party - Cocktails, smoothies, ice cream, inflatables, BBQ stalls, steel band etc. Obviously would have to take place in the summer months.

Those are just a couple of examples.

The whole "Cougarmania" that Keighley had going in the early stages of the Super League era was beneficial to the club on and off the picth, yet they were unlucky to not get the Super League position they probably merited.

I like the kids idea. Do the Junior RL kids in London still get free Season Tickets? Its a lot to give away but surely there's ways to work with this. For example, give tickets to each team. For example, give away 100 (just an example) tickets to kids from Greenwich Admirals one week, South London Storm the next and so on and so forth. Dads will have to pay, so there's some revenue. Get in entertainment, face painters, decent dancers, bouncy castles and mascot/fan interaction and maybe they'll return.

There was a band on Saturday competing with the England match.

Spot on

The band weren't competing with the England match. They were watching it....while playing. Idiots. As far as I can tell all sports club websites are sanitised and dull, Im not sure they make much difference tbh they're just a reference source for tickets and location etc.
