Seems such strange timing with everything going on

Or not!

On the website of Urban Zoo, under Case studies - Aston Villa & Nottingham Forest.

Wonder how much Stan had to do with this, for those asking what he does

 

[Smiffy]

....and a new ticketing system....

....and a new ticketing system....

Indeed. Potless want away waster Ron wouldn’t have been behind delivering this. And if he wanted to do something like this he’d have c@cked it up. Perhaps he tried but got confused on the GoDaddy homepage and gave up.

Presumably this will have been rumbling on for a while - they'll have known the EFL Digital affiliation was coming to an end and they mention an "extensive consultation process".

This lot seem the real deal. They designed https://www.avfc.co.uk/ and https://www.celticfc.com/ and can do club shop, ticketing and video and integrate them all seamlessly with a single login. Seems promising, as long as we're able to pay them...

This makes me wonder whether a lot of the things we have been worrying about there being time to do before the new season might already be well progressed… kit, team, food and drink at RH (cleaning and Rentokil too hopefully)…

It definitely won’t be Ronald’s dosh that’s for sure

 

[SHRIMPERPETER]

Stop worrying everyone about nothing!

The assumption would be that this has been in the works for a very long time.

Urban Zoo certainly not a cheap option for a project like this, it's the same platform that Spurs and Celtic use, and I think a few other PL clubs too. Wonder where the money came from while wages have gone unpaid.

I haven’t been told about staff wages, but I agree - do we know for sure that the staff still haven’t received anything? It’s gone awfully quiet on that front while it seems they have been very hard at work.

Some staff are now four months unpaid. The mythical loyalty bonus also no where to be seen. Shyster, RM is a complete shyster.

This is great news! Moving slowly but surely towards a proper football club that has ambitions and first steps towards engaging with the fans and community

If staff are still unpaid for up to 4 months, do you really expect the loyalty bonus to have been paid?

The bonus was mentioned again last week in the official club statement.

I agree, I just thought it was odd as I can't imagine Ron wanting to sign contracts and pay out etc but we don't know who's doing what at the moment do we, it's a positive thing just expected these sort of things to happen after the take over I suppose.

You cannot move to wards a proper club with a list of unpaid staff, it’s still smoke n mirrors if it’s doesn’t cause you pain then let’s pretend it’s all good
UTS

 

[The General]

Another company to add to the debtors list!

But is all seriousness, good to see little things like this are going on in the background already which means small positive little footsteps!

Remember Ron is still in charge of OS comms. This might be the best hint of an agreed takeover he could bring himself to approve.
