On a personal note, Swat, I wish you had left this alone. I just got hugely angry all over again and it really is a waste of my energy. Until someone appoints a General Manager with the balls to clean out the deadwood and to set up a proper operation it will never be fixed. In a separate discussion I had with Matt last year he told me that G&GR links in with the Media Liaison Manager (or some similar title) and he didn't know if they had a Marketing Manager. If they haven't got one its almost beyond belief. That person would be/should be virtually the number two person in the organisation, the role is that important. If they've got one and he's never spent time with G&GR people then they haven't really got one, he's just warming the chair.
This key role would bear overall responsibility for membership, media liaison, advertising, that part of the NSW site that's devoted to Super rugby, fan days, promotions etc. Any operation that links in with the Tah customers should be under his control. His operational raison d'etre is to enhance the experience of the customer base. What major company doesn't have one? What major company would allow their staff to be represented to the customers in a competitor company's uniform? And for more than six months??? It passes all understanding. Next thing Pretorius will run out on Saturday night in a Cheetahs jersey to save a few bob!
Eight thousand members. I reckon on that basis that average crowds will be about double the membership. And that will be financially disastrous. The only thing that might save them is the way the team goes. A good season might just save the day but only one team out of fifteen has a really good year. You have to have a set-up and a relationship with your fans (customers) that transcends those years when you don't win. That's what marketing to your customers is all about.
Rant over. Where's the tranquilisers?

I'll leave it alone when they learn to sort their shit out. I've already had a go at them over facebook over their appalling marketing. Also, you're bang on about how important it is though, I've seen local clubs that have websites that are more up-to-date than the tah's.

On this topric.. I happened to meet the Red's Event Manager (I think that was what she was called) at the RWC. I had a chip at her because there were a feww things on the reds website and marketing materials that was always a problem, i.e. links not working, stuff not up to date etc. She was very sympathetic, more then she needed to be since it was in a pub in Wellington, and from what she said I got the feeling that the ARU (or perhaps Super Rugby) actually control the content and maintenance on the websites. At the time I thought WTF? But now I am thinking that it might be true. Can anyone confirm or deny? Not making excuses for the Tahs, but maybe it is not all their fault and your roth needs to be directed elsewhere.

I spoke to to Jason Allen at the fan day on saturday, the Waratahs currently have around 17,000 members. Added to that, he said that the Waratahs were the only team that counted actual members instead of other amounts published which are not the true indications.

I was thinking of living ones - its not fair to count all the people who have ever been members: hell, I was a member once until my then 5 year old asked me why we couldn't follow a decent team after they had a humiliating loss to the 'canes at the SFS

The homebush games include public transport from anywhere in the metro area to the game. Tickets to the SFS games should include free bus transfers from the city/central to moore park.

Most people from the Hills have access to free public transport to games at Homebush.

Whilst not up to the same standard of young kids doing flash mobs, the Tahs have been getting out to surf clubs and other community groups over the summer.

It's unbelievable that with less than a week to go, the Tahs still have not updated the player profile pictures. If all the other Aus teams can manage to do it, what's going on at Tah HQ?
That wouldn't be surprising as the Wallabies, Super Rugby and Aus Super Rugby Team websites all have the same layout/format. Still no excuse not to have 2012 player pics locked and loaded.

Looks like the tahs are starting to listen to me after posting all over their facebook page. They've added the EPS players photo's and Alcock's has been changed to the 2012 jersey. They must be in the process of updating it now. Pretty unfortunate that they are still listed as the 2011 playing roster on the team page and the photos are all from the 2010 season.

Is this why we need the NBN?

Just noticed that more of the player pics are updated on the website. Better late than never....maybe that should be the Tahs slogan.
