I note Oxford haven’t released highlights yet which is probably why we have not

Rochdale played them Saturday and published the highlights on their YouTube on the Sunday, a full day before Oxford did, so I don’t think that’s the case, we’re just slow getting stuff out. I’m not sure why people are getting all defensive over people saying that, it’s a very fair criticism.

Our head of media is part time

Made this point before but it's an absolute shambles that a club of our size doesn't have a full-time communications manager. Even Solihull have one ffs.

It's one of the first things I'd have done if I was the Kirks. There's no consistency with our communication both internally and externally and at times can look very unprofessional.

FWIW I think the young lads do a great job and are only part-time so this isn't a pop at them, it's the overall structure.

Completely agree

I HATE this expression so I'm sorry in advance, but that position is still a 'job for the boys'

We know there is no patience.

You only have to look at some of the regs on here...

"Greggs is crap, he hasn't scored 10 after 3 games" kinda mentality.

[Goku]

Nah it's not even about patience, it's comparing the resource we have vs other clubs at our level and asking why we are unable to do something as simple as taking a highlights package and uploading it to the club's YouTube channel. Stop this backwards mentality, if other clubs with lesser resources do it, we should be able to do it. Simple as that.

What I'd be happy with is a simple tweet (or whatever it's called) or announcement on 1866 after a match saying what the timeline for putting highlights and interviews up will be. I'm quite prepared to accept that different obstacles arise, delaying production. Footage for one friendly never did appear, which is a shame because the dialogue on here about the game got a bit feisty and a decent debate would have ensued.

Exactly. The aim should be to be the best in the league in all areas. Highlights videos are an ideal channel to showcase what this club has to offer.

It's not even club v club resources anymore, young kids with their phones are creating superior content and discussion points etc.

The club in many ways still think it's 1993 which when you look at those in charge is no massive surprise.

Certainly when Man United needed a new Chief Exec, running a local Spar was top of their wishlist.

On there now !

[valemadness]

For Saturday matches there is an embargo until the TNT Sports highlights show has finished before any highlights are allowed to be put out.
If we are away, we are reliant on getting the footage from the home club to produce the highlights.

what a poor goal to concede. Our defence had plenty of time to reorganise after Palmer's error. That's twice now that our subtle plan for Naylor to drop into the back 4 when Grimes isn't in position has failed. Is Baldrick on the payroll?

You'd expect somebody with Naylor's experience to look around and position himself better before the cross comes in. Disappointing.

I'm fairly sure that doesnt apply anymore, also we are talking about highlights from a Tuesday night.

I think you need another operation. I know a few surgeons who would be happy to remove your lips from the club's ring piece.

There’s really no need to be so insulting. Pathetic.

As they say if you resort to insults…

It's not an insult just highlighting those who pathetically defend the club no matter what. Of course its in here interest to, she's just admitted the club have sorted her out with some special tickets for Altrincham.

Bet she didn't have to email the club and hope for a response.

Really? Surgeon, lips, ring piece….

Or it looks like VM offered the options how to get what you require. If I were her I wouldn’t bother trying to help you.

She doesnt help, she twists the truth to fit a pro club rhetoric. She's wrong half the time anyway, she's literally in this thread saying incorrect things about Vanarama highlight policy.

We now see the reason she does this, the club sort her out with special tickets. This has been my point from the start, why are you so keen to defend the club having their favourites? Is your nose in the trough also?.
