New Season - New Shirt - New Spirit

[Guest]

Is it just me, or is the perennial trundling out of marketing buzzwords and catchphrases, not getting a tad on the boring side?

 

You know how to shift season tickets guys? Get that useless Chairman of ours to either find some investment, or plough in some of his own zillions, in order for Brown to build a decent squad of players. Have guys that will burst every blood vessel in their bodies for AFC.

 

In short - walk the walk this year. Fed up with this pre-season nonsense of trying to inspire us all with false hope.

[Crossbow]

Yes, it is also an admission, last season was pish, the spirit is pish. Give me some money and me happier.

 

Geez, I'm happy to have a new shirt but I'd rather have a better squad.

 

New manager (tick)

New squad (work in progress - not going nearly as well as I'd like)

New spirit (need a work ethic - will have to check outside Pittodrie to see what that means)

[tup]

RGU graduates think up that sh*t, I'd be glad never to see another advert again, do the talking on the park, and in the boardroom, and forget tired old cliche ridden clarion calls to disillusioned supporters.

 

As if an advert on a bus is going to sway anyone in any case.

 

Sack all these idiots who get paid our money to sit and drawn up this f**king nonsense.

 

A football team, a good one, does not need marketed. It markets itself.

 

Take f**king note AFC.

[StandFree1982]

New Stadium soon as well!

 

The only "New" thing i'm interested in is a "New" trophy in the trophy cabinet!!!

Angry today aren't we

[tommo1903]

The commercial department at AFC have the imagination of a f**king flip flop.

 

Despite being an RGU student, I agree with Tup to an extent. Too much money is spent on useless pish like this.

 

Graduate jobs are for the real world, nae a fitba club.

[StandFree1982]

Angry today aren't we

Angry is Tups default disposition.

[robbojunior]

Here's a marketing campaign.

 

"New season, lets pump the f@cking huns at Ibrox this year - even Hibs managed it last season and they're gash"

[tup]

I'm not angry in the slightest, I just dinna like mincing my words and using flowery language, it gets you nowhere in this modern world, I use industrial strength language when I'm speaking to folk too so it's nothing to do with Aberdeen FC or my mood let me f**king assure you of that.

[StandFree1982]

I'd take:

 

"We're pish....but at least we are f**king trying...."

 

as apposed to the one this year that seems to be:

 

"AFC - Feeding ground for Tims, Ghosts and Meercats"

[robbojunior]

amen ya c@nt!

[Jazzer_Bett]

 

Fair enough min.

 

Speaking of flip flops we're missing a trick here - I want to get my Adidas Aberdeens on, if Mrs Jazzer plays her cards right she might get some ana for our holiday.

 

At this rate I will have the new home top, shorts, socks and flip flops - with potential for a bucket hat if I evre get my act together on that front.

 

[tup]

How about:

 

"We're only sheep-shagging b*stards" with a picture of a mannie in wellies, Stewart Milne has the necessary red faced thrawn teuchter look for the job, up to his ballsack in the rear end of a manky looking sheep, a sheep with a Dons scarf on, as the mannie offers a thumbs up and a severe cum face to the camera

 

That would have people flocking to Pittodrie to get a piece of the action.

[Guest]

This is actually a good shout... what marketing buzzwords or phrases would the supporters come up with? Here's my attempt:

 

"We're sh*te and we know we are. But give us your hard earned anyway!!"

f**k Yeah... :thumbs:

[StandFree1982]

"At least we're not the huns" <--- works for me!

[Crossbow]

If they need a strapline then - We are Aberdeen - says it all. (for better or worse)

[Jazzer_Bett]

Bi-Polar?

 

Then come watch the Dons

[StandFree1982]

Bi-Polar?

 

Then come watch the Dons

Not sure how attractive bisexual Polar Bears would help the football team...

Socks and Flip Flops together?

 

How's about the new Adidas AFC top and matching Jesus Sandals??

[tup]

AFC crocs, cheap and cheerful.

 

White socks to go with them, cracking look.

Correct.

 

If I was in charge, the marketing would be run as follows;

 

Every year, a competition in the local press and on messageboards etc to come up with the tagline and a campaign outline, with the prize of a few free season tickets

 

You'd get plenty of response and people who are equally qualified chucking in their efforts, then run with the best one.

 

Hey presto, free marketing dept.

there is already adidas Aberdeens. I know as I have a pair of them

[Jazzer_Bett]

Yeah Coop, they are mouldies from the 80s-they are also Golf Shoes believe it or not-!

 

Peeps come on they are clearly flop flips nae sandals. Does AFC have a club vicar? If so then our new kit maker should be on the case with the sandals.

New Season, New Shirt, Same Old sh*te

 

Why can't they just be honest with their naff slogans??

[Ke1t]

Is it just me, or is the perennial trundling out of marketing buzzwords and catchphrases, not getting a tad on the boring side?

 

You know how to shift season tickets guys? Get that useless Chairman of ours to either find some investment, or plough in some of his own zillions, in order for Brown to build a decent squad of players. Have guys that will burst every blood vessel in their bodies for AFC.

 

In short - walk the walk this year. Fed up with this pre-season nonsense of trying to inspire us all with false hope.

 

 

Well, how did the Red Revolution season go for us?

 

Join the Red Revolution, watch players who don't give a flying f**k, players who couldn't play football if their lives depended upon it, a manager who makes Jimmy Calderwood look like the b*stard child of Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger, a board of directors who will remain entirely silent, a meat shield-ex-club-legend who will embarrass himself in his business practices, no investment, lies about a new stadium, massive pissing away of money that we don't have to the tune of about a million quid, no reinvestment of transfer fees, massively reduced crowds, a stadium where any attempt at generating atmosphere is stamped out, further alienation of fans, record defeats, and a whole shitload of empty promises and catchphrases.... because that'll fool you all, fo sho.

 

What did it say, now...?

 

Oh yes,

It's all very well getting your marketing department to run up some 100% meaningless buzzwords, graphics and bullshit, but if all you're going to do behind the scenes is starve the playing side of the club of any kind of investment then you're setting yourself up to be laughed at.

 

Fortunately for AFC no-one there has any self-respect whatsoever, so being laughed at is no biggie.

 

Maybe next season we can be a little more realistic....
