maneacat Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Thought after a very positive meeting on Friday, the website would of been updated since, with the advertising page and news of what happened on Friday. Bit disappointing tbh. I wonder if they (GED and Trevor) need help on the Admin side especially after speaking to someone yesterday who also attended the Forum - (he made suggestions that I believe would be helpful) and if you look back 12 months Horton had Trevor, Blayne and Watson to assist him. If that is the case I am certain they only have to ask for volunteers in the areas needed ie. IT. Admin. PR. etc. and fans will respond positively.

Trevor and Ged need big help, unfortunately despite the clues at the meeting neither spoke or seemed interested in pursuing the people who could make a big difference. Unfortunately Trevor was more interested in playing his favourite game - I know something you don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stated my interest in offering my assistance earlier in this thread, I have also emailed Trevor just now to offer my services, and that of my business to take control of the website in terms of maintenance, updates, etc etc also social media. I dont know if they will be interested, however as you say - someone needs to be keeping this up to date as a minimum. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done I hope they take up your offer as my friend's opinion Friday evening was that a more professional approach was urgently needed. I would say that was the case for most of 2014 so now is the time to get it right for 2015 and beyond hopefully. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wealdstone Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) The meeting on Friday was presented with the theme that we are all in this together, even the phrase fans co-opertative was mentioned . I thought that Ged Rathbone seemed a genuine sort of chap. I sincerely hope they do not now go down the Animal Farm route where all are equal but some are more equal than others.

I dont know if they will be interested, however as you say - someone needs to be keeping this up to date as a minimum. I might be wrong but I think all websites are run by Andy Povey of AP Media. Mark Plummer was doing twitter on race nights but don't think he looks after it all the time. Thought after a very positive meeting on Friday, the website would of been updated since, with the advertising page and news of what happened on Friday. Bit disappointing tbh.I think there is more information coming tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wealdstone Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) Probably there are genuine reasons for the seeming lack of response, but it is in the interest of all to keep the momentum going. The Unofficial Peterborough Fans Forum is not available for the foreseeable future. I agree with its instigator " Rupert Rigsby" that is was the best. Why he has closed it down is up to him but suggest in the meantime we all return to the official forum.

yahoho Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 As above, had a reply from Trevor almost instantly which was nice! Yeah, basically all sites are run by the same company in a bulk deal with BSPA. Thought as much but you never know if they needed a hand with anything else. What would be good now we have had this meeting, is if they were to put up a list of things they now need. Be that support or a definitive figure etc, then im sure there will be enough people jumping on board! Fingers crossed for an update soon! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sneezy Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 It's a good few years since I bought a season ticket,but I would love to help the club,I can't afford thousands but feel if I can afford a season ticket it might help them and I get some fun out of it too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why didn't you buy one before when it would also have helped the club? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyb Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Trevor and Ged need big help, unfortunately despite the clues at the meeting neither spoke or seemed interested in pursuing the people who could make a big difference. Unfortunately Trevor was more interested in playing his favourite game - I know something you don't. That's what he's always been like.Until he comes down from his ego trip some people won't help him. Will never tell the truth, and thinks fans shouldn't need to know. If I'm putting money in, then I want to know where it will go, and not just a general idea. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
