Unfortunately, money's tight and my view is that we could probably find a number of other priorities to spend £50,000 on. If the Football League Interactive website is good enough for the overwhelming majority, I have to think it should be good enough for us. Beggars can't be choosers and all that. Faced with that or laying more staff off, I would like to think we would get more return on keeping more employees.

Official Site independence to fall victim to cuts
It would seem that the club's insistence on maintaining full control of it's website and on-line interaction with it's fan-base is about to fall victim to the ongoing financial squeeze. The costs of maintaining our current independence looks like it's a premium of "£50,000 pa. Rick Everitt is canvassing for support and I would like to think we have enough about us to defy the gravity of the Football League and avoid succumbing to the sheep-dip website of all the other football league sides bar Leeds United.

I kind of agree but to play devils advocate, does the distinctive feel of the site and the independent control allow us to emphasise distinctive aspects of our club ?
ReplyDeleteDoesn't this increase our chances of attracting investment / interest in takeover ?
Or is that such a distant prospect given the money owing and the current economic climate as to make that unlikely ?
