With regards to QP, I dont think its a bad thing to have, as long as we can get interviews and highlights up regularly.

I stopped subscribing when the interviews stopped coming really, but would re-sub if that returned

qp is a great idea but like many problems with our club in the past, everything starts full of promises, you sign up and then they disappear. People signed up to QP after being promised commentary and video interviews a few years ago, they lasted a couple of months and then died off. People are not mugs yet the club historically has treat us like them.

Whoever does take over the official site needs to maintain their interest and input. Its all fine and dandy when everything is going well, but you have to do it after a heavy defeat midweek, its tough.

Anyway, motivational speech over ;)

Absolutely spot on; exactly why I initially subscribed and then cancelled.

If we just want easy and positive PR, stick to a free highlights based package for all to see.

If it is going to be a revenue stream it needs a serious volume of content for it to work beyond a trial period. Highlights, goals, classics/retro stuff, interviews, exclusives, etcetera as a minimum.

Yup. Craig McKenna is doing that.
