Re: Re: BOOM BOOM
It is a question of profile and attitude.
It takes minutes to copy and paste the article, and reach a slightly bigger audience. If they can't be bothered to do that, what else aren't they bothering to do? Order equipment? Get visas sorted? Negotiate with players and sponsors?
If we can't be bothered to reach the next easiest media outlet it indicates a potentially less than professional attitude to me.

Spot on the stub, the club should be looking to hit every single media outlet available to them. If they aren't using an outlet that is as simple as copy and paste, how do we ever expect to gain consistent and frequent TV, Radio coverage etc.
Its a simple task that any one of the office team could do in minutes.

Does Simms send in the articles to the league site on behalf of Sheffield or would it be the backroom staff?
If it's the latter, we should be massively bothered about it, as Sheffield seem to have more regular articles on there than we do, you have to wonder why.
If it's Simms, which I think it is, then when you consider our backroom staff have now taken on Sheff's backroom work as well (not entirely sure how true that is, although I know all the staff one day last week were up in Sheffield), I can understand why articles aren't set through. I still think more effort should be done to get our news on the site though!

Re: Re: BOOM BOOM
I think you are right, and therefore we need someone like Simms.
I have a feeling that Kelly has been running with a lot of the Simms type work (no information, just tone). As she is at Download this weekend that may explain why it isn't up.
If that is true, someone else should have owned it.

No worries, folks. Said important article about Max is one of today's lead pieces on the Elite League website. 
There may be very good reasons why it hasn't appeared there earlier - the announcement was made in the press over the weekend.
Persons responsible perhaps had other commitments/days off but how anyone can conclude (from that,) that the office appear to be prioritising the Steelers' workload or 'not bothering' with Devils' business beats me! It's so easy to make accusations without knowing the reasons. :roll:

People may have been at Download festival @ Donnington. Kelly from Devils office was according to her twitter, also Mcrae and Pelle had a weekend in London together. Hopefully the latter two will be returning to cardiff to sign contracts, we can still hope........ plead...... wish...... beg...... grovel..... theat they will!
Sorry, after reading that back it's not how I wanted it to sound.
I meant; Just because someone is on a personal holiday i.e. Download, it shouldn't mean that any work (that is important and necessary) doesn't get done. When anyone else goes on holiday, someone covers them. If they knew that a signing was going to be announced, then surely they should have someone posting it up at the right time or even, y'know with all this tech nowadays, you can schedule launch dates of announcements! Voila!
Its not about getting uppity, making sure the team who its about gets in there first because its *their* news. Its just about being consistent across the League and reducing opportunities for "one-up-man-ship".
It gets confusing when one website is reporting one thing, and another not/something different.

Important news/mentions of Max's return to the Devils appeared in the following places over the weekend:
'South Wales Echo', Terry Philips' Twitter blog, the Cardiff Devils' website, British Ice Hockey website and Twitter, Twitter blogs of one or two players and personnel connected with the Club, Elite Prospects website.
And folks are moaning about one website which published the news as soon as it could. :roll:
And how is 'one upmanship' likely to happen? Apart from Finnerty going to Sheffield (and the Steelers were entitled to publish that first), I have yet to see one release from our club where other clubs have 'stolen the march' first. Yes, news maybe out there on fans' forums...but it's all gossip until confirmed through official club channels.
