    Terrible full page advert in today's HDM...

    please log in to view this image


    They really should consult CTWD on their output, it's appalling. <laugh>

    CTWD have got to have done that for a laugh. It's an ambush.

    Surely that can't be serious.

    Ha ha, someone's just trying to get some brownie points with the Allams aren't they?

    That's made my day.

    Open mouthed at that.

    It hasn't even sunk in enough yet for me to howl laughing, but I can tell it's coming.

    I wonder if all of those shown in the images actually agreed to having their picture published in support of the Yes vote...

    It's a satire, it has to be.

    It's fantastic.

    We've put an appeal out of Twitter, for any CTWD members in the picture to contact us, if you're on there and are a member, let's me know(you could win a scarf).

    That can't be a officially from the club. Hilariously bad.

    I'm a big fan of companies taking students on work experience, but I'm not so sure that ones from primary schools should be doing the clubs marketing. <laugh>

    Considering some of the images you've used, that would be silly to try and stir up some **** on that basis.

    That ad made me smile, once a tiger, always a tiger, that's very true. It will also appeal to all those people CTWD doesn't, and it's got you lot talking so its served its purpose.

    It was you who has done this, isn't it?

    I have to say, you look very good in print. Grey looks very becoming on you.

    We're not stirring up ****, we just thought it would be funny if there were a load of CTWD members in the clubs advert.

    For the record, we got permission for the photography we used, we even got loads of members together to do our own crowd shot.

    And I agree, it will appeal to the face paint types.

    We've had a few on Twitter asking if we placed the add, just to make the club look clueless. <laugh>

    On the contrary - it's pretty much par for the course when it comes to the Club's marketing.

    The torn away and Tigers head in top right hand corner is practically a give away that it has come directly from the club. It's their style.

    The club's marketing is just as good as it's PR. Laughable.

    They are marketing our club as a horror show.

    Totally clueless PR.
