I played for them from 1971 through to 1985 before moving away from the area. And I agree with you about the communication albeit their website is updated fairly regularly. So I am using this blog as a medium to see if their communication skills can improve. Let's see.

You might be right, Kimbo. Who knows. However, I do think the lack of communication can cause Chinese Whispers. As a club supporter, all I know is players are leaving. Some clarification on the matter from the club would be appropriate and welcome.

It happens at most clubs, at Donny, my club leaves it up to the new club to announce the move

At Roth we also announce players only when they have signed, and then send best wishes to ex players when they’ve been announced by their new club. At the start of the season, there does tend to be an announcement of who has moved on, just to clear up any who might have been missed, or have not yet been signed anywhere. 

This might be different this season, due to The Season That Never Was (TSTNW). Do we go right back to the end of 19/20 and announce that? Seems a bit pointless but those guys didn’t really get a thank you, we didn’t have an awards night etc and it all seems a long time ago now.

Well, a batch of departures announced by Coventry this morning.
The two of significance from last season are scrum half Pete White who is moving to Hong Kong, and lock Alex Woolford.

Also sad to see Dan go. Somebody's going to get a very useful out-half/utility. I hope.

that's standard etiquette to permit the new employer to announce any moves (with a 'heads-up' to the former club so they can confirm the move & wish the person concerned all the best); this etiquette is very well-observed among clubs in English pyramid... deals involving clubs from other unions are sometimes a bit less collaborative

At nearly 43 Brighty’s best days are well past him sadly. Great servant of LS and good luck to him in picking up further pay as you play opportunities at the RAA. 
Watch Out - The Scottish Phoenix Club is on the Up!!

If he's the same player, i remember watching Tom play for Scottish vs Ealing back in 2019, looked a solid player, great addition for cov.
