Trouble at 36ers HQ?

4 Days out from season tip off and not alot going on at nbl.com.au either. Last news was reported about Neville signing with Hawks. No team previews, no new articles...nothing. There's been a few tweets and FB posts counting down the days but could use a lil more hype IMO.

Macdub, perhaps what happens in the locker room stays in the locker room.....

"Some NBA teams have "Snap Chat" accounts which are very popular with the U25's - essential in my opinion and so easy for one of the office girls to pop down, take a small 10 sec video of..."

That was about to reach dangerous territory ;)

Im a Perth fan (just took out my first ever membership this year). I can state that if they were playing in their old location I wouldnt be a member and I wouldnt be going. Its not close to me at all.



I didnt get a call from a player.

I think United are actually the highlight so far from me. THey are engaging with their fans (even if some of their fans are the 'Tigers till I die!' variety). They are doing more community engagement, actively hunting sponsors and the like. Hopefully they bring the game as well on court. I cant say Im a huge fan of the name, but if they bring some quality play I wont care.

Perth really are the top of the league in pretty much every

The wildcats even got players to call around the 8106 that had renewed their season ticket. To thank them. It was great getting a call from a player and you could chat with them for a while

Great marketing

"they struggle to connect with fans"

This may actually be a fair comment. It is not that their product is unattractive, but the hype around the product needs to have the ante upped. The social media output has been criticised by many and Isaac has reported on here about his friend who specialises in social media offering to do it at the cost of a couple of season tickets that was rejected.

Certainly marketing needs to improve by a long shot. Some NBA teams have "Snap Chat" accounts which are very popular with the U25's - essential in my opinion and so easy for one of the office girls to pop down, take a small 10 sec video of Creeky dunking, or one of the other guys doing something. Have a mid week one, pre game one, and perhaps a post game one.

I would also try to get some free marketing research from the Uni too

OK Sixers fans, lets all understand that the sixers are being run completely by a small group of people who love the club, and in most cases have buried their own real cash into keepinh it going. It is easy for fans and members to put in their $100 and then whinge about the decisions made by the guys who put in millions!

Lets use our own socail media to promote the club, increasing awareness of the great product they offer - elete level sports entertainment,suitable for everyone.

Fans spread the word on your own facebook, but lets try to put as positive a spin on the NBL and all things 36ers as possible.

We are wanting more information from the club because we love it so lets stop putting it down. Try believing those few who put their serious cash on the line might have their own issues as well. We don't know what is going on. All we know if those guys must really love the club to put so much of their lives into it.
Clubs like Hawks and United have new ownership or new agendas and so are at a stage where they are throwing money at this thing, Wildcats have a super rich guy backing them so they have been able to throw enough money at it for a while so that they now actually make money. They also have a great new venue built by their government right in the city, a biut like how Adelaide oval helps Crows and Power.
Lets get along and support the Sixers all season, and take a friend each time that hasn't been their before.

Not being racist .......but

He's not really having a go, he is just stating what has happened.

No offense man but any post that has a 'I dont want this to sound like im...' generally is.

Perhaps they ARE having money issues, perhaps there are personality conflicts there. Perhaps they are just concentrating on the ball on the court.

Certainly 'not having a go' mate!

Sheeshhhhh

Jawai has just subbed in against Milwaukee - with his team having a big lead with just over 1min to go.
