I must admit, I thought the quality of the media output would increase significantly with Reynolds owning a marketing agency. Unfortunately, it appears to have stayed the same.

I also think it's a shame games in our league aren't streamed anymore.

If we are wanting to spread our brand and grow the fans base putting stuff like that behind a paywall was always going to fail. Good they have changed course

How much was the original upgrade payment?

It was the wrong decision, but I applaud they have rectified it early.

The long highlights need to return to YouTube.

My Dad can just about grasp clicking things on YouTube. He's never going to be able to get to games but has never used a laptop/pc or will ever be able to get onto the Wrexham site and login to watch the reds.

You could already get the long highlights for free through Wrexham Player so why restrict it elsewhere?

Exposure is far more important than trying to get people to use the website to watch stuff. People use TV apps etc these days for their media, not a website.

I understand traffic to the website is good as people may divert to the club shop but not everything has to be with the end being more cash for the club when it effects the nice and simple things that should be a given for a club like us and especially now with our power.

The amount of sponsorship income should surely cover a 4k camera or 2 and good length highlights. As previously mentioned, Ryan owning a marketing agency should see us being top notch on enticing people in. Grainy footage shouldn't even be on a list of concerns in this day and age. I doubt this is the sort of thing that they thought they'd have to be dealing with though in fairness.
