Does the club's digital team know about the 100 years thing?

[zombiebloodlust]

Anyone else disappointed that the club, particularly the social media department, are not making more of a fuss (or any fuss?) about the fact it's the 100 year anniversary of St George's first season? You'd think they'd be creating some kind of theme around it, perhaps giving a historic focus to their posts, a story or two, or ... something? I'd have thought the deep history of the club was a kind of selling point? Something to actually pounce on and shout about. Weird. Seems a massive missed opportunity

Instead the twitter has the standard lame training photos and birthday messages, the sort of thing you'd see on the club website in 1997

For a start get rid of frigging Euan Aitken off the dragons app page for ffs.

Apart from merchandising, I haven't seen anything.

It seems the Club and the NRL are happy to make a quid out of it but don't want to have a great celebration.

Of course we supporters can celebrate the centenary. I think we know the reason for the Club's lack of gumption. Would be great if they could prove me wrong.

There's an earlier discussion thread about it here: https://forums.leagueunlimited.com/threads/100-years-2021.479349/

They launched a website last year specifically for it;

Very disappointing really but not too surprising.
Might be waiting for 101years or 202?

Ok, this is quite good

Yep totally agree. Every time I get on the app and see his ugly head I want to throw my phone. HELLO!! He plays for the Warriors now!!

 

[Kylez3]

The Dragons social media department + the communications team are absolutely hopeless. Don't expect anything good from them.

Big problem when nobody knows the website exists

The Leagues Club and NRL Dragons websites don't have an obvious link to it. Happy to be shown otherwise.

A Leagues Club initiative?

Good site.

They do..

Where exactly?

I’d put the link to the link but for reasons unknown to me people never click any links I put up

Some background to the website: https://stgeorgedragons.com.au/dragons-launch-2021-centenary-program/

We're 100 years old. Still looking forward to game day celebrations.

 

[Forbes Creek Dragons]

Probably for the exact same reason they list us as only having won one premiership...

I just use different toes. Problem solved.

I've checked out the website, and it's a good start. I think they could do more, and do it better. Some of it is quite meagre and scratches the surface only. There's soooo much documented history out there, for a club that has always prided itself on it, and you've got the whole year to celebrate it. Still think it's a missed opportunity

So... 3 days until the 100 year anniversary of our first game. How's the club's social media crew building the excitement for it? Anything? *taps mic* Is this thing on
