I agree that in an ideal world all clubs would have up to date ( modern ) websites designed well for easy access browsing etc along with fb and oople being updated, with a team of admins that can manage it all ... But the reality of the situation( I think) is that not all websites are the same, some websites can't be updated as easily as others, some websites will need an admin with a certain amount of technical knowledge ( that you will be reliant upon to update the site when he / she is not working ), some websites are just too old and need a complete re vamp, but this all costs money and time. When you have a free resource such as fb where info can be updated by almost any club member and viewers can view the info by simply opening their Fb app on their phone at any time quickly and easily it's hard to think of a good reason not to utilise the service. I agree there are always going to be trolls posting un interesting or even offensive stuff on fb, but it takes no more than 2 clicks on the mouse to block that user so you never have to see anything from them again.

E.G.
If they are updating calenders and venue details on FB then do it on thier own website too, maybe reverse the process. By this I mean that clubs have disabled thier website pages and tell you to look at thier FB page(which restricts visibilty to FB users), why not do everything on your website then provide the link on FB to your website, now this is open for ALL to view.
