Hi Neil,

I don’t mind paying the monthly fee as I’m sure the information inside will more than reflect that. Thanks for all the drills and stuff you’ve given us so far.

Good luck with the launch tomorrow, I’ll see you on the inside

Cheers, Lee

Hi Andrew

Cheers for the comments and ideas. I’ll put the bablefish idea to Clive Griffiths next time I talk to him:-)Seriously though, all these comments are good feedback and I appreciate every one of them.

I’m definitely going to look at the ‘club’ registration idea too.

Regards

Neil

Neil – I have enjoyed and used some of your content supplied to date. The web site I think is a very good idea – charging as well will make the site more proffessional and ensure that the users take it seriously. The earlier idea of a club subscription does make a lot of sense and I’d like to think that this approach should have some success.

Your pricing does not really seem that high considering it over the year. You could also consider some different pricing stcutures to reflect the different codes Union and League – Where content that’s suitable to both codes is differently priced from Union or League only content?? You could also run a self help forum and other interactive services Q&A ect which would help justify the value add angle.

Keep up the good work – I for one would not have a problem with £150-200 p.a membership charges – You might also need to look at international charges to spread your market – Also babelfish could provide mixed language areas? French, Spanish, Italian ..Maybe even Welsh!!

CHEERS

Hey Neil,

Just a quick note re price. We’d all love it to be free but I’m a big believer in you get what you pay for and besides spending over $400 last year on rugby coaching (seminars/other websites)I’m looking forward to your forum where I can pick up ideas from other coaches (hopefully) as well as yourself.

Anyhow good luck with new site

Appreciate nothing much for free these days, have found recent articles interesting so thanks but like others reluctant to commit on what we have seen so far.

Hi Mark

Just to let you know as I researched many sights on coaching.

The price you mention is to UK standards not world standards. So when you mention 177 pounds you need to consider the euro, dollar and the rest of the world equivalent.

Personally I think you’re way out of the stadium never mind the field with 177 pounds.

Good luck

Sorry Neil, understand your costs etc, my junior coaches nor myself would be prepared to pay that amount for reasons already stated. The idea of a club membership may be A STARTER,but that very much depends on the club. The current climate with amateur clubs struggling
to keep its Bar takings going and fiance. It would be a matter of prioritising coaches needs. Pity because I have enjoyed what ypou have done.
Best Wishes
