Fixture announcement breakfast

[Bozza]

Really good idea. Some originality here likewise with camping at Amex. Shame the email motive was given out so late...

Not really original.

Camping on the pitch: Pompey 2012 (Tom Gorringe worked for Pompey when they did this)

Fixtures breakfast with Q&A: Sunderland do it every year - http://www.safc.com/news/club-news/2013/june/tv-at-the-fixtures-breakfast

But, yes, it's still all very encouraging and a decent tactic to see what other clubs do and cherry pick some of the best ideas and do them ourselves.

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

Bet you'll need a massive crap after that.

I normally have one before

 

[Seagulls over Essex]

I normally have one before

Blimey two dumps before 9.00 am, you need to get that sorted mate.

 

[jamie the seagull]

The clubs receive the fixtures at 7:30am tomorrow.

 

[Taybha]

Guy Butters?

If thats the case then dont expect to be getting a bacon roll after 8am

 

[SweatyMexican]

Why advertise it at half 5 the night before? That's never enough time for anybody shirley?

 

[smudge]

Be surprised if anyone at all will go to this. I've heard more about Tom pigging Gorringe than I have about any single player.
Are we supposed to thank our lucky stars that we have this marketing genius on our books? I mean, I wait enthralled for his next "big idea".
My idea is for the management to realize that there is one area that we need to get right & that is on the pitch. Maybe ask Tom if has any ideas about that?

Hey Tom, how about a transfer deadline day drinking session? We could start at the Seven Stars & finish at midnight in Dicks. Last man standing gets a FREE t-shirt, (ill fitting, poor design).

With the number of miles you traveled to get to and support the session (very wrong)

 

[neilbard]

What a great idea, as most people don't work Wednesdays anyway.

 

[chaileyjem]

My idea is for the management to realize that there is one area that we need to get right & that is on the pitch.

So the club can't go out of their way to do good (often free and paid for by sponsors) things with fans, season ticket holders, young fans until we're higher up the table ?

I think the real question is which business seminar got cancelled late on leaving them with a big round of bacon to get rid of.

Idea, great.

Notice, ridiculous.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Was just going to pop over, event now closed. Low on hollandaise for the eggs Benedict so a free brekkie would've been useful

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Really nice idea by the club.

Let's face the reality. If they'd given more notice, then 10,000 could have tried to sign up.

 

[mattricketts]

No such thing as a free breakfast!! Is there??

What a miserable and clueless post.

Why would you want a marketing person to have a say on what happens on the pitch? Every club has numerous departments that have no involvement whatsoever in on-the-pitch matters. Do you want them all scrapped?

I'm pleased that we have PR and Marketing departments to raise the profile and revenue of the club. I don't always agree with some of the things they do and some things simply don't interest me. That doesn't mean they're wrong or they shouldn't exist.

 

[Mr Banana]

The club should extend this spirit of generosity. Free pre-match beer announced at 2.44pm. Free away travel to anyone who can get to Pease Pottage as the teams are running out. Beer token for anyone who goes to Geneva and successfully guesses where we're playing.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

I didn't get the mail. Maybe they have cancelled my season ticket?

 

[Hotchilidog]

I got the mail. Nice idea. Short notice I guess, but another quirky little idea. cannot understand the negativity on here, some people just want to criticise ANYTHING that the club do.

 

[Zebedee]

If the club took some serious action in the transfer market for once, I think you would find people more accepting of the corporate side of matters.

Now this is a proper fixtures breakfast! Should be finished it by 9am...
