Just throwing this out there to see what anyone’s thoughts are, I’m not totally clued up on how the club runs things behind the scenes however I’m sure everyone will agree with me that PR is a massive issue for the club. Now I know there will be limitations on the person who’s doing the social media stuff by management but Jesus there’s not structure to it and whoever it is doesn’t seem to know how to manipulate social media. It’s a different age and a different generation that we need to reach these days.
You have teams like Glasgow just as an example who have each players photo plastered all over the beams of the shopping mall and do unique videos for returning players and announcements.
Me with my head in the clouds debates going into the club and asking to help out with PR but in all seriousness we need someone who can manage social media and has the know how in how to manipulate insights and audience engagement on Instagram, Facebook and all the rest

Needs to go back on the course...today's release has the usual spelling and grammar errors and refers to Livingston as Issac's at the end...it's the small things that are the differences between professional and incompetent

Me with my head in the clouds debates going into the club and asking to help out with PR but in all seriousness we need someone who can manage social media and has the know how in how to manipulate insights and audience engagement on Instagram, Facebook and all the rest There's 2 elements to this. Firstly, our social media updater who deals with team stuff is clearly nowhere near good enough either technically or in terms of basics like spelling, grammar, humour, avoiding pettiness and personal opinions.. etc. etc. Far more alarming is that the club are actually seemingly happy with this situation which has been apparent to anyone with Standard Grade English for 7/8 years! For me that's what causes the apathy we're seeing towards the club at the moment, i.e. it looks like nobody at the club bothers about important stuff so why should the fans? What is disgraceful is all these instances we keep hearing about where people have offered to help- people who are obviously capable of improving things, and these offers are being ignored. It smacks of preciousness and self protection. If you care about the club you want things to be as good as possible. We cant even get a tweet out without some **** up. Social media is vital to a club like Flyers. |

Have your seen Gutwald and Tim Crowder pictures? It looks like they have cut their heads out a news paper ad and glued it on top of someone else's pictures. Terrible. |

Zoom in that's exactly what it is..obviously a free app...looks cheap and nasty...we are a PR embarrassment and the sad thing is no one at the club gives a flying fook...some of them even joke about it on twitter. |

Someone or something else being bad does not excuse us. We could at least try and be professional at something. |

Flyers need to pay a professional on a part time basis to do the PR, simple as that. It'll more than reap its rewards in terms of publicity and ticket sales.
I dont really want to hear the word volunteer ever again on this forum because it's been a shambles and league wide embarassment.

Have your seen Gutwald and Tim Crowder pictures? It looks like they have cut their heads out a news paper ad and glued it on top of someone else's pictures. Terrible. Tim Crowders picture is just a bad joke, i mean its awful. Why not just use his coventry blaze pic from last season like they did with Livingston and Sam Jones? The post about signing Livingston this morning talks about Isaacs career stats, Its all so simple and basic yet we seem to get it wrong pretty much every single time. Posting the wrong video on Twitter to announce Tim Crowder!! some thought it was an attempt at humour but the club themselves admitted later on they put up the wrong one. Dont think I have ever seen any club/organisation make so many mistakes on social media. Tam Muir obvioulsy doesn't care about social media but you would think the effect it has on his club would bother him, guess not. |
