The current administration inherited 3 or 4 databases that weren't linked; they hadn't been properly maintained and the information on 1 doesnt't necessarily tally up with the others. They're doing their best to tidy them up, get rid of erroneous information and streamline the whole system - hence the phone calls sometimes.
My understanding is that the move to NM will see a move to a fully integrated, bespoke software package that handles all the back-office, ticket sales, turnstyles, marketing and e-commerce; to install that now would involve so much costly hardware and infrastructure that would all have to be ripped out and reinstalled at NM, that a decision has been taken to make the best of what is already in-situ, rather than chuck a load of money at something that will only be of temporary use.'"

but if I was the boss i'd be wanting to iron out any issues sooner rather than later, Newmarket hasn't even got thumbs up yet let alone been built! How many more free season tickets will be issued before then?
