If Tony is hosting and providing this service to th club the least they and all connected should help keep it updated

Re: What happened
 

Ironic that this page should be so out of date

I did privide it all free for the first few seasons.... then half paid it and as of this season the club pay for it as I have gone self employed and cant afford... I do supply the hosting services though.. the hosting is non profit.. I am simply the go between.. it isnt part of my business if you follow :)


BTW if you look on CLUB DETAILS it gives a different story as to who does what

Re: What happened
 

Hang on a mo it takes a team effort and the club as to have the will to find a way of helping keep it up to date. If as stated it is volenteers that are keeping it going then maybe on a Sunday afternoon all those involved get together and update the site. Hell even the interactive tour is all wrong. Until or if a full time bod takes on the task we might have to put up or shut up about the site. I will be the first to admit if I get it wrong so if I offended any of the volenteers then I am sorry.

Re: What happened
 

The voulanteers who do help have there parts up to date.. its the club that dont keep theres updated

Re: What happened
 

The whole either/or argument is total BS in my opinion. You can have an updated website or we can sign players argument is totally out of proportion to what is actually required.

Stanley have a long history of poorly run ventures that die a death within a few months, mainly due to the fact that they hardly ever run properly. Yes, it may well be down to the small number of people working at the club, but common sense would tell you that eventually people will become fed up with constantly being misled.

Just focus on a smaller number of ventures and get them right. That'd be a good start.

Re: What happened
 

100% bob on that TM .. to say seats is a priority over fixing the TV part of the website is ludicrous.. are we really all that backward to say .. oh yeagh thats OK then :(

Re: What happened
 

I will hold my hands up and stand corrected.

To me though a web site reflects on the people that own it. A well run well presented up to date site reflects well on the company that own/run it. The same also apllies to the opposite senario. To a person who stumbles on it and finds it in a bad way might think that the club is not worth bothering about.
The site is there to sell the club to potential fans investors sponsers etc so it needs to be tip top. There is an answer somewere but it has yet to be found.

Re: What happened
 

They could pay me a small retainer to take control, sort it all out and make sure it runs correctly.. get rid of all the old out of date stuff.. add new stuff.. fix whats wrong..

But they wont.. because the webmaster who is responsible is already being paid.. cant pay two :)

Re: What happened
 

But this is the situation; small full time staff , hundereds of regular tasks to do; so some non essential tasks fall by the wayside.

I really could go and on; but lets leave it at this; Bury employee a FULL TIME media manager, ASFC prefer to employ full time footballers. That's the current club strategy. It's a simple choice. IF we could increase revenue into the club, then we could have a more surfisticated infrastructure behind the scenes.

When will the penny drop that running a full time football club on gates of 1500 is almost impossible!!

Re: What happened
 

so the answer is dump the webmaster if he aint doin it, n employ you.

Re: What happened
 

Then there is something needed to sell the club to more fans and the website is a start. If you wanted to shop for something online and there was 2 sites with the same deal and price but one looked good and informative the other basic and tatty which would you use?

Sorry but sometimes you have to spend money to make money!!

Re: What happened
 

so southern red please tell whats the difference between a webmaster that can do the job n one that don't? thats nowt to do with extra expense.:rolleyes:
