Would You Choose Any Of These?

Bottom left for me.

 

They’re all better than my current plain white one

 

Yeah the white one’s don’t look great, at least mine’s a red and white one with the badge on.

 

Top right for me. Loved that display

 

I'd choose any of them tbh. That photographer has posted some banging photos when he was at the club last season. Our internal marketing team should be coming up with this sort of stuff.....'personalise your card for an extra tenner' or something like that.

 

Have you seen the panoramic shot of it on his website?

 

I'm on that photo, you just can't see my face, it's behind a black card

 

Possibly a remnant of the Madrox era but the club is on it's arse when it comes to this sort of stuff. You see some clubs sending Season Cards out in leather boxes with inscriptions etc. We got ours chucked in a white envelope without even the courtesy of a letter. I reckon our fans would lap up things like personalised Season Cards, or paying extra for your name on your seat or ideas like that. Other than the amazing job they did for #TilTheEnd our Marketing department has been ****e for years

 

I agree mate. Although, the club let this lad in to take photos and stuff, he wasn't guaranteed to go to Wembley (don't think he is an official employee) but they should be all over things like this. So simple but really effective.

 

Yes mate. Class

 

Over the years I've emailed the club with ideas for all sorts and never had so much as a reply

 

I'm going to order it. It's ****ing brilliant.

 

See, that's what pisses me off about this sort of thing. They have 'official' meetings with fans groups and talk about the finance's and all sorts of high level stuff because they have to under the regulations but fans make suggestions via email or a conversation in the ticket office/club shop (God forbid ) and nowt gets acted upon. They should be replying at the very least thanking you for at least taking the time to suggest a way of improving things. They have got (almost) 30,000 people with ideas, yet the board are paying for some external consultants to tell us what they think we want? Mental.

 

If the club had any sense, they'd give Chris Waters a promotion and let him lead a team of Supporter Liaison Officers instead of just letting him work full time and get paid part time hours

 

Yeah. I think a lot of it was down to infighting at board level under Byrne, then cost cutting from Bain on wards.

I think marketing and the commercial side go hand in hand and if you sort out one, you'll sort out the other. Something like this is a good start, if it can be done.

 

He is a diamond. He works more than full time. He barely clocks off. Needs another half a dozen staff with him heading an engagement/fan liaison type dept.

 

Good post. I really hope we can get it sorted over the next 12 months or so.

#TilTheEnd was simple but very effective at the end of last season.
