An email went out well under 24 hours in advance, yes, again, it was in fact barely 18 hours pre event for a press conference. There were very few media on it, actually only a trio of us had questions for those attending. Why does this happen, in Real Estate, I get notices on things well in advance, then a few more as the day draws near. They know they do them one or two days ahead of a game, know the times training should end, players shower and get in front of the camera. Coach is typically in on them as is a player to be named.
Thouigh hardly the biggest of reasons why the game is not growing as it should, this is not helping. How many jobs allow the flexability, as the notice went out after regullr business hours, that upon showing up at a typical 9-5 to make it known that you would like to take your meal break at a particular time. Soccer journalism, shocker does not pay much, I would say 95+% have other jobs. Yes I make this known to the teams, beyond deaf ears.
