So following on from Saturday's discussion I have been in contact with both Karl (NSW Wolves) and Alan (Worldwide Wolves).
Karl has put a huge amount of effort into the stuff he is doing and I think this is something we should get on board with and leverage. I spoke to him for an hour this morning and we spoke about how we could better engage and bring Wolves fans together across NSW. My thinking, and what we have discussed, is that due to geography it is natural that people will get together/meet etc based on location, but that there is value in harnessing these numbers in a broader community, particularly online. If there is a NSWolves website, a Newcastle Wolves website, a Wollongong Wolves website etc, how much different would these be, how much duplication would there be (effort and content), how much extra cost involved etc. Let's recognise these dispersed 'pockets' of fans by having each register with Wolves, while coming together under the broader banner of New South Wales. Everyone would continue in these smaller pockets, but we could semi regularly get together as a wider group. Also, there's obvious value in numbers when it comes to things like recognition from the club (ticket allocation for example). Have a look at his website - https://nswwolvessupporters.club/. I think its pretty good. Be great to see some NSWolves stuff on the 'Blast from the Past' page. I stressed that we are keen to recognise and preserve the history of NSWolves, and a big part of that for me is about honouring the legacy of Jim, Les and Marcus. We'll always be NSWolves. He is onboard with this and says he would be keen to celebrate this history with website content etc. Next steps would be to involve Alan from Worldwide Wolves in these discussions. Before I do that, I'd like to hear any comments/feedback so that whatever we do is the will of the masses. We're massive right? Well, certainly when compared to Bundanoon Wolves!
