First heard from a friend who works at Portland that they had been appointed over 3 months ago.
I was amazed by the news as the idea of most League One club's using a PR company of the reputation of Portland is laughable. Their clients are typically multinational blue chip corporates like McDonalds, Nestle, Apple and Pfizer (all listed on the latest PRCA register) if anyone is interested. It's a bit like someone with a terraced house worth £100k using Clifford Chance to do their conveyancing.

I'm convinced It would also add 4-5K to the gate but not so sure how long It would last ,maybe 2-3 K over the season .
how much would that add to the coffers £700-£800K.

Why haven't CCFC been attacked for using PR, come on all those attacks on CCC for using Weber Shandwick & Wasps for their "PR machine", surely everyone should be treated equally.

CCC using Weber Shandwick is arguably worse given they are spending taxpayers' money.

People take the piss out of Wasps because they denied it when complimented.
Now if Tim Fisher comes out and says there is no pr company Id equally take the piss.

Maybe because for months everyone has been saying CCFC should make an effort with their PR and do better! Wasps get stick as they claim not to be doing PR when they clearly are. As far as CCC using Weber Shandwick you could make an argument that it's not a good use of taxpayers money.
Was It taxpayer money or are we talking the wrong entity CCC or ACL ?

Wasn't that the debate, can't really remember but didn't PWKH say they had been engaged by Higgs and CCC at no cost to the charity, implying CCC had footed the bill and CCC then refused to answer a FOI request as it was a commercial transaction relating to ACL. Have a vague memory of something like that.
As I've put elsewhere on the thread have they ? Or ACL?

I wonder if we will see any new sign ups on here
You would like to think they would do a proper job and not make it completely obvious like other people do
So will RFC go really quiet now if he's been sacked?

So it probably came down to a choice between signing up Portland and signing up Madine. Well, Portland won't win us football matches...

I thought for a moment that they'd hired Portland Enterprises ( http://www.ofcom.org.uk/static/arch...&the_id=Portland+Enterprises+(C.I.)+Ltd.html) which certainly would have livened up the half time entertainment

We all know Wasps have no PR machine
Is this a Wasps thread?
The only strange thing is that it wasn't Nick or Torch that mentioned them first

I doubt that very much, it would just be another SISU stooge appointed to take the fall

What a load of highly concentrated bull shit. We don't need PR monkeys, we need owners who understand Football, Football Fans and community.

And we all love Heathrow airport.
If we are now swimming alone as I believe we are and Fisher the failure Is on the naughty step unable to extract the pocket money ,just what use Is he ?
The Charm offensive Is on ,the game to extract finance from the local business community .
If that Is required It should be for shares In CCFC .
That aim would be better served through a local Entrepreneur acting as Chairman stating the case, not withstanding the positive effect of
Fisher moving on aiding this, ticket incomes etc.
They have little chance of succeeding in this otherwise IMO.

Bring in PR and try rebuild your image SISU. But fans will never forget the following:
* Moving the club to Northampton to distress ACL
* Court cases while non funding of the team.
* This new fantasy stadium in "3 weeks"
* Club shop empty.
I could go on but whats the point? The image is one no amount of PR can resolve. Fans dont forget, treat us like crap, dont expect to spend some money on PR and everyone now think your brilliant.
I prefer to use my own eyes to see how your PR is. Not some company from London trying to portray an image of sisu.

Arsenal money and Christie money?
Appealing the convincing Jr verdict.
Ripping the soul and heart it of the club and we played outside Coventry for the first in our history.
Telling lie after lie
Treating the fans with so much bollocks it's untrue.
Skimping on every way possible.
Land purchased and foi saying nothing of the sort.

Start winning matches and a serious shot at promotion and I reckon a lot of people would, if not forget, at least not be too bothered that SISU were still around. Of course that would require either a massive fluke or SISU to get their act together.

I've just come home and I'm pissed but I would have thoughb the best PR would be to say WE ARE REALLY SORRY we made a big mistake when we wentb to Northampton we know weve frucked up but we want your forgiveness. How can we make it up to you.
Answer fucking listen to the fans for a change.
