We must be a week out from elections.
This article appeared in the paper today.
It's got some quotes from Josh Drayton of the Eels.
The Parramatta Professionals Facebook page has asked:
Who is Josh Drayton? Never heard of him and why is he controlling the club. It appears the current board (members of the Parra First ticket) and the CEO answer to Mr Drayton, but really they should be answering to the members!
I don't have the ability to write a comment in reply, but Parramatta Professionals will be checking IEE and just so they know: Josh Drayton is the Head of Communications. If you go to the 'About Us' page on the Eels website you can see his name listed under Parramatta Eels Executive Team. Not rocket science fellas.
It's this bloke's job to deal with the media. I've seen his name in a stack of articles about the Eels as their 'spokesperson'.
Consider this my contribution to today's community service.

Sorry all, I didn't mean to post the link as the title. How do I fix that?

Josh Drayton is our well-credentialed media manager who does a fine job. Now 2P are attacking employees of the Eels - how low can they go?
Imagine the disharmony, agendas and feuds if you blokes were elected. Keep it up.
Muttman, Imagine the mass sackings of senior employees if Denis gets his way with Piggy Riddell & 2P on the board?
You cant be serious? THE 2P ticket just admitted it didnt know who one of the football club's most senior executives is? That's just beyond laughable.
As I've said before I think 2P are doing an oustanding job of demonstrating exactly the level of professionalism they will bring to the club. Good job chaps.There is one win, yes one win between 5th and 15th. Yes we could be better placed, but hardly a reason to question the coaches performance.
You flip back and forward so many times, it seems like you've having a bet each way on coaching and the board.
No credit if you pick every option.
PS Nutcracker, enjoying your writing this week, good onya.
This is gold.
Josh Drayton's wife jumped on Facebook asking Parramatta Professionals why they were dragging her husband into the election. She said:
Hi gentleman, Josh Drayton is the Head of Communications for the Parramatta Leagues Club Group (this includes the Leagues Club and The Eels). It's part of his job to respond to media requests on behalf of the Leagues Club. I'm surprised you haven't seen his name before, he's in media regularly providing comment. And he MC'd the recent 'State of the Union' event. He's well known within the Eel's family and the rugby league media. Pretty sure I've got this right - I'm his wife I appreciate it's election time and people are trying to garner votes but is it necessary to drag staff into electioneering?
So they deleted the references to him. Nice work Mrs Drayton.
