Hello all!
Glad to see you’re seeing just some of the changes off pitch being made over at HQ. Going to be a lot of really cool things on the horizon.
I wanted to create this thread specifically for content- website, app, socials, etc.
As the offseason gets into full gear, I’d love some suggestions as to what you see/look for as far as club content goes. I know there are many ideas under the “Club Communication” thread I’ve been spying on, but thought I’d crystallize it a bit here.
Any input is as always appreciated.
UTT

UTT Make another netflix style documentary series about coming back after a relegation. I quite enjoyed the last ones they did about buying and taking over the club. It gave us a decent glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes. |

An all singing, all dancing app for iOS and Android is needed.
The website needs improvement too, but most people use apps for everything else these days, so I’d suggest a serious effort in that direction first.

I’d like to see a video covering the changes/improvements being made to Canalside.

There is a town app. The layout and features could be better but it is a start. The best thing about it is the notifications. Big news stories flash up on your phone which means you don’t have to keep refreshing Twitter when there is an announcement imminent. |

I stopped using that once it was no longer possible to watch a match or listen to the audio. Looked again just now, needs a lot of work on it. Much of the content seems to be links to the website or other websites such as ticketing, rather than taking place within the app, for example. |

UTT I'm probably in the minority but I'd just like a break from it all to be honest Dave. The last thing I want to see during the "off season" is continuous posts and news/stories, much of what is often forced just for the sake of getting 'content' out there. Maybe that's just the way of the world nowadays but I'm ready for a breather. Forget about football for a couple of months and come back refreshed for the new season. By all means get on quietly with business behind the scenes but sometimes less is better. |

I want to get excited about the season ahead and its good to know that our club is being given a little TLC. You can always unfollow on socials if it bothers you so much? |

We are straight into the Euros after the Champions league final a week on Saturday, which ends on the 14th July......Not much off season for football fans this summer.

HTTV but I guess linked to a new app or updated website. Live academy games, interviews, past matches, highlights, analysis. That type of thing. Which is also played in the stadium pre and post match. Plus any supporters bars that are being planned. And fan zones

Heritage Project content to be published on the website, so people that don't buy a programme are able to read the former player interviews we do.
Last year, the club asked our permission to publish them on the website through pre-season. Permission was granted and not one was published in pre-season.
I understand it's way down the list of priorities, but we're providing free content for the club, it might as well be used.

Be good for an update on the stadium ownership and what is the stumbling block

The Town Square App may produce notifications for some people but I’ve never received one notification. ( IOS)
I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling on many occasions.
So, this is an issue that requires attention imo.
Making the app more intuitive would also enable the retail and marketing departments to reach out to the fan base easier and more effectively.

It sticks in my head because I watched it with my mum when I was about 11 and I remember her saying "Who's that long haired guy scratching his balls"!! Lol |

Mentioned this in another thread but has the club considered a WhatsApp channel? Seems a simple way for Town to keep fans updated (particularly to those who don't use social media), promote shop offers, show more behind the scenes etc.
A number of other clubs have them... Premier League teams, the scum, even the likes of Shrewsbury.

Written articles of interviews/press conferences on the website, not just videos of them on Twitter or the website. Unlike most people these days, I'm not that fussed about everything being in video form. I'm quite happy with a quick snapshot of what the manager says post match, or what the new signing has to say, rather than a 20/30/40 (or however many) minutes video every time. In other words back to how it was 18 months or so ago in that respect.

I can't remember the last time I got a notification from the app. When it did send them, I'd often get the line ups, a few days later |

In other words back to how it was 18 months or so ago in that respect. 100% agree…I’ve taken to scraping the YouTube transcripts and getting a bot to summarise them…so the tediously long first Duff press event I read in a few seconds as… "Michael Duff, the new head coach of Huddersfield Town, is focused on fostering a winning culture to achieve a swift return to the Championship after their relegation. Duff, who has had success with Cheltenham Town and Barnsley, acknowledges the challenges faced last season and sees this as a chance to reset and rebuild. He emphasizes the importance of hard work, proper recruitment, and the right staff to lay the foundations for success. Duff expects his players to show commitment and the right attitude, representing the club with pride and understanding its significance in the town. He believes that creating a cohesive, hard-working environment is key to securing promotion and moving forward." |

Would like to reiterate the suggestion of historical videos made about the club being made available. A few years down the line and these will be at serious risk of being lost, particularly the ones from the 80s and 90s.

This is a very good shout. Apart from the fact I'd forgotten we even did a 99/00 season review, I sometimes find myself wondering about watching the 95/96 and 96/97 season reviews, but they pretty much don't seem to exist anywhere now |

I've got all the VHS copies of the various season reviews and other videos the club put out. |

Town did put out a few of the old style season reviews/VHS videos' during covid however they seemed to miss off the best ones.
The Final whistle is surely the most important one as it documents Towns first 86 years in good detail.
Maybe it was due to who owns the rights? Simon Normington produced the best ones, far beyond anything that we've done since.
