It shouldn’t have happened. People will disagree with the quality of the signing, but most will agree that the faux build up of tension, “1 hour” number 9 nonsense was uneccessary.

Anyone from the media team post on here? To give their side of things and a justification for it?
You are not serious surely?

This has got you that riled up? A tweet to tell people that a new number 9 will be signing in one hour? https://twitter.com/wrexham_afc/stat...701310976?s=21

Organisations use social media to create awareness and excitement for their brand. If you don’t like social media you don’t have to read it.

OK swap “justification” for “reason” then - but you get the gist.

There’s a difference between whipping up a bit of interest and putting on that nonsense they did today. It’s the kind of thing a club does when they sign Zlatan.

Would love to hear the Media Team’s response to this...

These guys are volunteers, not professional journalists.

They are fans like us, and not everything they do works. Much better than the old days having to wait for The Evening Leader to arrive, or parents to go out before dialling Clubcall.

After match interview questions are too nice and don’t cut to the point. But that is under instruction no doubt.
False economy runs throughout the club.

I’m well aware what social media is used for. I’m not really riled, just surprised and disappointed that they’d think doing that was a good idea. It was over the top and lead to unwarranted hype. It adds uneccessary pressure and they should have known, considering the ill-feeling and frustrations of recent weeks, that it would only succeed in underwhelming and disappointing.

That’s my opinion and I’m entitled to it - seems many share my opinion as well and like I say, I’d be interested to hear their reasoning behind it.

I am with ben on this!

One Tweet an hour before the announcement for me built up a little anticipation. We have been waiting for so long for a signing after all.

I use Social Media a lot with work and the U11s team that I manage. This wasn’t cringeworthy at all, just trying something to warm up their audience.

Well done Media Team.

Of course you are entitled to your opinion, but I don’t see how that Tweet is over the top. It simply says a number 9 is signing in one hour.

That’s your view fair enough, but I disagree wholeheartedly.

All it’s done, I feel, is further add to some lingering tension and animosity that fans have had towards the club in recent weeks.

Poor communication regarding the playing of 60mins instead of 90mins at Lex.
Some accusations about a lack of support for the DSA and issues with the viewing platform.

These things all add up in fans’ eyes...
