“There are eight million stories in the Naked City,” and this is one of them.
My brother-in-law received equally shoddy treatment over his advertising board. He's had a board on the ground for a number of years, even though he's not a Stanley fan and certainly doesn't 'need' a board on the ground in Accrington. Frankly it's an embarrassment.
It's easy to sit back and be critical all the time, but things like this really wind me up. I know the few staff who are there are probably doing the work of 10 men, but that's the problem. It's heads down and keep ploughing on in the same old way, which just isn't good enough. Like I said earlier, properly trained, experienced staff would pay for themselves and raise more money for the club. Take on 2 full-time staff with experience and give them 12 month contracts based on performance. If they don't pay off after a year then fine, but I honestly think the right staff would raise much more than they cost.
Alot of business is about image and presentation. Stanley is run like businesses were 25 or more years ago. It doesn't cut the mustard in this day and age.
