Merry Xmas Sue

Sorry Jason, that I remind you of your "regular" uncle and just to add that nobody would ever call Felines efforts into question.
If the club had been made up of others of her calibre, we would certainly be prosperous and it was never my intention to question her efforts or commitment to the club, which are utterly commendable and have been for many years.

However, do you really think that we can "sell" a weekly draw by not actually having "a weekly draw" and by not publishing the results. We may as well not have a draw and just ask for a donation.
If we don't carry out the promised basic elements of the scheme, membership will drop and the revenue will fall and although reminding people of this may seem pedantic, it should in fact be helpful.

she's from Wakey not Woking.

But we do have a "Weekly draw"
Just because the results aren't published as prompt as "YOU" wish doesn't mean there hasn't been a draw.

I think the club have made a rod for their own back by sending out emails to all re winning numbers. Its great when its all working but the moment someone doesn't get one (cause its in their spam folder) then its a complaint on here. As long as its on the website, Twitter and Facebook then that should keep everyone happy (although they do need to be published in Wakey express too).

neither am I

Think the only way foward is to have the numbers posted on the website before they are drawn

I'm with Wrencat, if the 1873 draw is to grow which is surely what everyone wants then it has be run professionally and consistently. The results should be posted on the same day of the week and at a consistent time (Yes, there maybe the odd week where it's a day late) because it's about the club portraying a professional outlook to new fans, sponsors and businesses.

Joe Bloggs doesn't understand there are only 6 staff and it's run by hard working volunteers. All they see is their money going towards a draw and the irregular communication and the fear is that whilst the committed fans continue to support it, others may drop their support

Well..I suppose some people expect the club is run as a professional business...as we would like. The reality is that is it like a charity being supported by well meaning and hard working volunteers who can't do a full job beacuse of lack of resources...Bit like the NHS I suppose...

To be honest I view my 1873 as a charitable donation to the club I love; its a challenged group that needs support. I expect to win nowt and put the money in cos I cant get to all games where i live. I have long since given up on competency at Wakefield Trinity RLFC but I still love us!
