Davefevs Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 14 minutes ago, JollyestOli said: Dave Barton and that Ryan bloke can **** off, they both represent the club and do it so poorly. It’s bonkers really. Bristol Sport has probably one of the most respected media men in British Basketball working for the Flyers - Joel Osborne (no relation of Robinstv comms man Toby). I know Basketball is small fry to Bristol City, but his work is brilliant. Along with a guy called Joe Pinchin at Leicester Riders they were the trendsetters in the BBL for top quality content. So much so, Joe landed the media job at Chicago Bulls, yep Chicago Bulls! Joel was the man behind the gifs, not Adam Baker. Joel was the man who went on pre-season tour certainly the season before last (and before, not sure about Bradenton) and started giving us the training ground content we all like. RyMo came from Basketball too (Surrey Scorchers) but although his video work is good, if he is indeed the guy running the social media accounts, he’s missed the public mood far too often imho. That of course could be on Dave Barton’s direction, and I feel he’s misjudged the mood of a football fan versus his experience of the rugby fan. Im not comms expert, but they are too often on the back foot, reactionary. Korey Smith has proved that. Sometimes their hands will be tied, but I think it shows naivety that in the fast moving world of football gossip, carefully planned media reveals aren’t always the best option....certainly not when a player is being released. Just get in with, by all means follow it up later, but get the news out there (when it’s not commercially sensitive). The Retained List was Published on 23rd June.

BCFC media team are bloody useless and the communication with fans is hopeless. Agreed Red-Robbo, they’ve dined off of those Twitter goal celebration tweets for too long! COYR.

Judda Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 6 hours ago, Red Alert said: Whoever is responsible for the clubs communications needs to be fired. The KS statement today is the final straw is accepting the level of club Comms being provided. Since the beginning of the year it’s gone backwards. Appreciate the Covid complications but is that really an excuse? Can’t see the correlation - you can work remotely and coordinate a rollout of communications via all channels - every other business appears capable at the moment. And don't get me started on the shop... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. They’ve done a bad job. Amongst the already discussed terrible social media content there’s an annoyingly pious trickle of ‘right on’ subtle social justice content creeping in which is annoying.

You’re right to say it’s the board’s fault, more specifically Trashton’s, but those PR professionals should also have the judgement based on experience to tell the board the difference between good and bad PR. These last five or six weeks have been a complete and utter PR/comms disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
