pyssing it up against the wall
with all the new found funds that the clubs going to spend maybe the head of membership could spend 40 cents,phone the afl & update membership numbers
our new computer nerd & wizbang media person seem to have cruisey jobs...done sfa since they have been there
maybe we should just pyss em all off & put a link to wom on our porn site....we would save about 200 grand a yr by having the peanut doing it for nothing
saintscentral coming soon...i've heard the same thing about jc
are they doing anything with our money or just

Roger !!
Stop being so diplomatic and tell it like you really think.
The club have said all along that memberships will be processed and sent out in February. Give it another month and then send off a diplomatic email to the CEO & the Membership Manager
I too thought that they would have saintscentral up & running by now. Perhaps "The Peanut" is holding out for more $$$$$$$$$$$, or is it that bludger of a manager he has got

ummm when was the website developer hired?
It takes a loong time for a single person to develop a website from scratch roger, and obviously the better/ more features the longer still. No offence to peanut but I would expect saintscentral to be a lot better than what he has done with wom.
Also where did you get the 200 grand figure from
and whats jc?

It is one thing to havea "pretty site"....and another to actually have material on it worth reading.
The Peanut does a lot of work to have fantastic content from many sources....both current and historical.
absoluely agree, but I feel it should have that plus the glitz plus inside stuff as well (that peanut doesn't have access to). I see this a great opportunity for the saints to get something better than the rest of the league out there. But it takes time as peanut can testify to.
we should be aiming for something better than this.

IMHO
I suspect that the club will be outsourcing the physical site development elements and I hope that the designers are directed to consider members that still are forced to use a slow dial-up service and at least be able to easily source the real footy elements, unlike the AFL/Bigpond production. Nevertheless I am expecting it to be slick and from the information we have already heard it should fill the gaps left by the current online resources for fans.
The Essendon club stand-alone website doesn’t appear to provide much original content for their supporters on day-to-day player information and they probably get basically the same information in the ‘Border-Mail’ newspaper. I often go to the Essendon club site around the times of the season when we play them and come away with nothing that hasn’t already be told in the press, perhaps a sentence or two more from the press conferences.
I am quite looking forward to SaintsCentral and I will be very impressed if they provide all the bells and whistles for our younger fans and a slick interface that represents our club in an impressive fashion - and some real hard-core interviews and inside information.
Some of the expected features:
• Blogs – Supporters Blogs are a great idea and I can’t wait to see ‘Rogerwa’s Blog’.
• Breaking News – will be good but we usually get that through the press anyway.
• Social networking – I don’t know exactly what they mean with this one but however its structured it should be popular and provide the fans with further input.
• Behind the scenes footage – Great – you can never have too much.
• Media library – Audio and Video clips – Great
• Online chats (returned) – Great
I guess the site will evolve into something substantial over a period of time if managed properly and I won’t be too critical in its first year as things are sorted out by a single staff member. IMHO - if ‘SaintsCentral’ puts ‘SS’ and ‘WoM’ out of business it will have to be bloody good - but it can still be great as another resource for our hunger when working side by side with all Saints sites including that dreaded AFL/Bipond official website, which certainly has its uses too.
I would hope that the new site initially concentrates on the gaps rather than duplicating existing resources but in the long term they should at least consider duplication, especially if they can do a better job.

being a simple soul can someone explain to me what are bloody blogs
back to your original post eastern..i'm not hanging out for the membership stuff,not really concerned if i get it or not...more than happy to pay the membership without expecting anything in return(apart from players having a crack)
i was thinking more along the lines of them getting off their arse & going after the 360000 supporters who arnt members,they are the ones they need to go after not the likes of you me & others on here that are on board regardless
can be done in one of 3 ways
ride on the coat tails of a successfull team (which we are not)
or to use a cricketing terminology
get on the front foot & drive through the covers for 4 (members) or tickle one round the corner to fine leg for a single (member)
imo show some aggression & get on the front foot..after all isnt that what we ask of our players...be it player or desk jockey,get on the bus or get ****** run over

You should ask my publicity manager 'rogerwa' the hard questions 'ausfatcat'.
No ... I haven't spoken to any senior staff menber at the club since the Saints Central bizzo has been planned but there are plenty of people around the club who are well aware of whats going on ... and will probably scan this thread. What they are doing at SaintsCentral isn't rocket science (or Peanut science) and at this stage their plans appear to be in hand.
I would imagine that the CEO would ensure that the website guy was briefed to keep an eye out for the feelings and opinions of the fans by visiting SS periodically at least ... but they will be following general directives of the board in the first instance.
Edit:
Roger, Blogs are an online diary (usually a one page web page that is easy to edit by the user/owner) or similar. Log in and place your favourite pictures, let your hair down and say what you think amongst other things. (I say let your hair down because you never tell us what you really think on SS.
) There will be plenty of Dal is Soooooo Hoooooootttt Blogs I would imagine
Yep - good idea to keep the club on their toes to push memberships - they need people like yourself for original ideas - in the last few years they have only used recycled ideas or offering rubbish sold to them by the travelling salesmen who do the rounds of all the clubs.
