Kusunga_Is_God Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Apart from a few videos put together on iMovie in Morocco, there has been absolutely nothing from the club. No interviews, no footage no nothing. Is anyone still paying for it? No commentary at all for any of the pre-season games, Halifax will have their own setup tonight and even Ashton managed to get one setup at their place. So is this a blackout imposed by the Lemmies or are the media team woefully out of their depth without Sam and Luke? I reckon it’s the former but we do miss the old team and of course Gordy. Ive noticed it’s been said we’ve had no programmes for any of the friendlies and that the team-sheets have been produced on a basic word processor. What on earth is going on?

They’ve got spelling and grammar school before moving on to video class. We miss Sam and even Luke who got his fair share of criticism and if Gordy had still been around rest his soul, I have no doubt he would have been treated with the exact same contempt as every one else by the Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Sinnott Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Re programmes. I'm pretty sure Eden Creative did them free of charge, but they've been forced out by AL. As far as I'm aware, the guy from that company is the only one who knows how to work our LED boards, which is why they haven't been on during the friendlies...

nzlatic Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Since Woods signed and was interviewed (25 June)... Natalie Atkinson appointed Zabret signed Vera signed Paul Murray joins Wilson signs Kokos signs Azankpo signs Eagles signs Adams signs I think that's everyone - but we've not heard anything from any of them. In the middle of that we had a Hamer interview for his contract extension. Also, we've played 2 games in Morocco then Rochdale, Ashton and Stockport and no interview from managers/coaches/players about how it's going. It's dreadful.

I'm sure the sponsors will be very happy about this. I would have been on the phone immediately if my company failed to get the exposure I have been paying for, and threatening to withdraw my sponsorship immediately if I didn't get some form of refund.

How long will the new commercial guy last under these circumstances? He seemed to come with a decent pedigree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midsblue Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 This whole Morocco stunt was propaganda. Emperor new clothes to suggest a professional operation branching out continentally. Invite the fans over and whack up some ‘love in’ between owner and the great unwashed - solidarity brothers! Back home, the threat of this FLG courting the fans instead and the drawbridge is back up. Uncertain what the new CEO and Commercial Director are thinking. You’re exactly correct that Natalie should be front and centre, spelling out the club plans to the fans. Commercial Director emphasising the shop website, new club shop, the new kit and other sponsors. Total blackout - akin to North Korea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nohairdontcare Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I cancelled my Latics Player subscription shortly after we were relegated - now focusing all my attention on the Prediction League and getting much better value for money there! Sam was good in fairness to him - but the downfall of our club was getting too depressing to listen to from a distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al_bro Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 We only seem to have 6 sponsors now apart from the shirt maker and sponsor. A-C Tyres, (though I recall someone saying there had been a bust up with them) SLM Connect, (whoever they are) George Hill, Assure, Kenyon Paints and Taurus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlayItLivo Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 LaticsPlayer...and every variant for every club (who still use it) is archaic and shit. You don't put interviews and other promotional material behind a paywall. You put it on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, etc for everyone to watch to try and generate enough interest that people will want to come and pay to watch the team.

laticsrblue Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 No commentary yet again tonight. I guess friendlies aren't part of the ifollow deal, but it's the 1st season since commentaries started that there hasn't been any for them. Hate this new regime!
