Comment

In response to the statement in the programme for Coventry City's League One game with AFC Wimbledon from "The Board" regarding the club website and it's falling readership, we would like to express the following point to those who penned the article as "The Board".

Whilst, we are fully aware that the club website generates a pay per click income for the club and is part of the Avro Trust debenture, we are also fully aware that readership of websites globally are falling as social media takes over.

The Communications Department at Coventry City have been on the ball with social media over the last few years, thanks to good work from Nick Connoll, Keiran Crowley and now Laura Hunter and the club's excellent Twitter or Facebook output are now the first point of call for the vast majority of supporters, rather than the club website and will continue to be so as social media increases.

It certainly has not been maintained properly.

With the tickets and shop being looked after elsewhere, I could certainly see it going away from that outdated template everyone uses and just being little more than a fixture list with a link to the ticket and shop sites.

Do not go to the CCFC website anymore or click on Twitter or Facebook leads. It makes Arvo money. Boycott all CCFC comms.

I don't mind the website to be honest, it's a nice distraction to click on 'current squad' and see Robbie Keane smiling back at you.

I use neither facebook nor twitter and I doubt I am alone in that so the website is useful. Think it would be a mistake to lose the website when all communication should be vital to a community based club

A 'professional' Football Club without an official website.

That's a shambles if true.

Has anybody got the programme to see what was said before getting carried away?

Never said it was true but I think the reality is they don't pay to update it except for (increasingly frequent) urgent announcements.

No I didn't in all honesty, which is why I left my comment with 'if true'.

Too much going on here to keep up with today!

Pay to update? They have staff who can login to do it.

Twitter is a must. You can see how crazy Coventry Councillors are.

Not got it in front of me but it was talking about the Telegraph not being banned from games and it said that their plan was to drive traffic to the club website by having news released there first.

Guess they want the clicks and ad revenue rather than the CT getting it.

So nothing to do with it being shut down?

Importantly the club needs to direct as much fan and readership traffic to our own website as is possible. Other media outlets, as they have been doing previously, can then freely follow up with their own reporting.

I think it may be where you order tickets online? Can't be sure because it's never been known to work.
