Well done FSG

[RP]

This will no doubt be a very short thread, but credit where it’s due.

 

They did a good job recognising the Brighton branch of the Supporters Club ... the horribly named “Brighton Kop”.

 

 

Peter Moore turned up in their boozer today, gave the founder a gift from the Club ... and put his card behind the ramp.

 

Fair play to him for that.

Fan/supporter engagement seems to be his thing.

[New York Red]

What does that mean RP?

[Leo No.8]

I thought got the ale in - put his card behind the bar?

 

If so good for him.

[Widnesian]

 

.. and put his card behind the ramp.

 

Is that Brighton slang?

[Jarg Armani]

Weird sucking up to these Brighton types all weekend. Who cares?

[The Hitman]

A nice touch,but why Brighton specifically?

[RP]

He paid for their drinks - looked like it was for any of the supporters club members who were going to the match.

A nice touch,but why Brighton specifically?

Just cos The Guardian featured that video of them, I guess.

True. I think in part it’s because ‘the Brighton Kop’ were clear that they had a number of gay members and the club is choosing to do lots of work around diversity, including being the first Premier League club to be a Stonewall Diversity champion.

Great set of lads.

[bsl]

Look forward to seeing him in the Solly before the derby.

[Molby]

well this changes everything!!!  

[RP]

well this changes everything!!!

 

I knew you’d love it.

[New York Red]

He’s such a paid gun. That’s all it took.

[Murphman]

well this changes everything!!!

 

I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.

 

F*ck off FSG (Obviously)

Tory behaviour.

 

You don’t need your community libraries/surestart centres/anny rd development/ proper investment

 

Here’s a nominally cheerful thing to distract you from the bigger picture

[Widnesian]

One step forward two steps back...

How's that? They didn’t do our other games.

Down inna Babylon.

[jimbolala]

They never bothered with our other games, why cry about it now?

[Ed the Wool]

How's that? They didn’t do our other games.

 

The question is, does the club really benefit long term from restricting this to its own website, or is it just making our world and potential fan base smaller in the long term for the sake of driving a few website hits.

 

It would appear to be the same logic as not expanding the ARE. Does keeping demand high and ticket prices high really help us longer term then an extra 10-15k locals and kids getting in to see the match.

 

It's that same poing of what is good for FSG short term, isn't necessarily what is right for the club.

 

The bad bellwhiffs.

No one becomes a fan of Liverpool because they heard them on the radio, so this is actually an interesting development.

 

It also means that our fans don’t have to listen to a bad bell end like Chris Waddle.

[cymrococh]

Of course they do.

[Jarg Armani]

Of course they do.

It's definitely part of the picture. I have found it so frustrating in the past few seasons since city stopped covering the match that I can't get it on the radio.
