I believe the most recent Media Officer Albert has a new full-time job so unsure - admittedly the website could do with loads more content.

Generic content can be written or updated by anyone and submitted eg. where to park for visitors

Everyone at the club are volunteers. If you think the website needs more content, do it off your own back or suggest ideas.

I'm glad you still find it funny that our own fans park away from the stadium robbing the club of funds, and those same fans advise away supporters to do the same. It is staggering to see such fuckwittery amongst a community fan owned club. Yes it's only a couple of quid but there's 21 home games per season and if a few hundred do it every time then it's a big hit to profits. But I don't have to explain that to a grown man, do I?

It might be much better than it was, but it's still not fun crawling through as fans stream out of the ground in every direction. Parking 2-4 minutes walk away gets you home fastest. Fact. Do you take the same approach to anyone who brings their own sandwiches or hot drink? Surely as we are a community club they should be supporting their club and buying food at the ground, no? No eating at home beforehand either.

However, I do have a problem that people are denying the club from making 100% profit on the gate. If the problem is due to the people walking out of the gates, or the priority given to the away supporters buses then the club need to know this information so they can try to improve it. Also, if the problem is caused by the lights at top of bumpers lane not staying green long enough to move the traffic then again, the club and council need to do something about it. Personally I go to the blues bar to watch the results come in and socialise with the people I go the game with, after 30 mins or so it's a clear road to get straight out on.

About 3 years ago. Never again. Care to contribute to the discussion with a few process improvements? Got no idea. The problem seems to be one entrance for all the cars to get out of, No obvious way round that. I do my bit by not parking in the car park for my own sanity and be one less problem for the people that wish to use the car park.

So would it be a good idea to have a pedestrian exit to keep people away from the cars trying to get out of the existing gates? Do the club need to explore the possibility of opening the much fabled second exit?

Ah, the old "if you don't like it, do it yourself post" It’s a valid point in this case though, don’t you think? It doesn’t make sense to pontificate that “anyone” could be adding content when what you mean is “anyone but me” should be doing it. Who are you complaining at, apart from an inactive group of supporters of which you are a part? Among a certain faction of our support, there’s a “can’t someone else do it?” attitude that persists, and it’s a very dangerous one. Not only does it suggest that some people wrongly feel that any issues at the club are not their problem, but it makes those who do volunteer feel they need to absorb a greater workload and that their efforts are not good enough. In the end, they get fed up and give up doing anything, and the problem grows. It’s not a difficult concept, I don’t think. It’s surprising that a number of our fans seem to struggle to grasp it.

I normally agree with the vast majority of your posts but you’re well wide of the mark here IMO. Firstly the premise is wrong, the club website isn’t Wikipedia, it can’t be edited by anyone. Secondly the fact that the website isn’t being kept up to date is a very reasonable concern & it’s right that it should be pointed out. If whoever was doing it previously isn’t doing it any longer then someone at the club who has accepted responsibility should be making it known that we need somebody who can commit to being responsible for keeping it up to date. Lastly the idea that the collective “we” are responsible for every job going at the club is daft. I’m not going to justify why I choose not to be more actively involved but suffice to say; as a supporter you should be able to support your club & point out any issues where appropriate, without pressure to volunteer.

So something that makes 100% profit is a shaming reason if people do not do it...but lesser profit miss is fine.
Out of interest, at what percentage does it move from bad to acceptable?

This is the kind of post that makes people block and ignore you. You add absolutely fuck all to any debate you're part of. It's the last time I choose to display one of your messages, it only proves my decision to block you is the absolute correct one.

Odd you can slate fellow fans, yet when challenged cant give a figure between 0-99% You are a hypocrite.

I accept there’s some truth in this and updating the club website is not like updating Wikipedia. The club probably should be broadcasting that they need volunteers, but again, that’s not something that does itself. They’re clearly short on numbers. Perhaps rather than waiting to be asked to help, people should come forward and offer their services? A number of people on this thread have identified a problem. The attitude needs to be “can I solve this problem?”, not “why isn’t somebody sorting it?” Blue4eva says that generic content can be written by anyone. Well, write some then, and send it to the club. Don’t demand that somebody else does it.

Personally I go to the blues bar to watch the results come in and socialise with the people I go the game with, after 30 mins or so it's a clear road to get straight out on. I think everyone's circumstances are different though. Like you say you park there and go into the bar after a game for half an hour before heading out, presumably without traffic most of the time, which is fine because that's your personal match day experience. Mine is very different. I set off at 12 noon for a 3pm kick off and park out of the club car park for the fastest possible getaway time for a few reasons; one being I want to get home as quick as I can afterwards, and other being sat in a queue waiting to leave. When you're match travel is 4-5hrs round trip at home, as much as the attendants try, it's still an ar*e to park there. Personally I say each to their own, it's not really what id call robbing the club not to park there, especially given we have zero obligation to attend, but refreshments, 50/50s etc and the majority of us do.

Each to their own, personally I use the car park for evening matches or if its pi##ing down. Just think we need to remember how lucky we are to have such a large car park given our status, and how cheap the car parking is.

Anyway back to the original post. The Club Website should be the main interface between the Club and the outside world for all comms. Appreciate that it may be managed by volunteers but is so crucial that it requires full time resource in even if shared. I use Deva Chat as first port of call for latest news but feel it should be the Club website. Am I wrong ?

Im sure he'll make Sheik like amounts of £££s to propel us all the way the Premier League Our new investor stated quite clearly that he wants to improve the matchday experience. If we are able to improve getting to and from the stadium and ensure we make 2 pounds for every 1 pound spent then surely it's a winner.
