Sydney ad campaign

[Bas]

I'm glad someone brought thios up. Dicky Hindleg from the Herald wrote about it in the paper this morning.

The ad is terrible. It shows three unsual supporters of the Swans. How as a non supporter is that going to entice me to going?

It's a very far cry from the I'd like to see that! ad campaign.

The ad could also be saying:

1. Swans support individuals with grossly unhealthy waistlines;

2. Save your money on Church weddings, do it for free at the SCG before/during or after the game;

3. Trouble with selecting a child's name? - Barry is now the new Jack or Lachlan.

The Mad Hatter should ditch the car and walk, what a great documentary on the Swans own Biggest Loser - I went to 22 games and lost 40 kilo's. Two walks of the Nullabor will do that to you.

I noticed that too. After seeing the ad you could be forgiven for thinking that Swans supporters are kind of weird. It makes me wonder who gave the brief to the advertising agency.

If you ask me, the NRL ad for 2009 memberships is much slicker. It tells those that are already fans the BENEFITS of becoming a member of your football club. Surely the eggheads who dreamed up this ad could have thought about selling the Membership Product to fans, enticing them to sign up.

Wait. Just remembered the package is terrible. Oh yeah.

Anyway, there's nothing wrong with criss-crossing the country to follow your team, nor the waistline that develops eating pies and drinking coke.

If he did it on a novated lease, what a great way to get the km's up. However, I think I would only ever try it once.

Slick commercials, problem is they don't have any members or even people turning up to their games.

Oh and the package aint terrible, in fact the concept of a larger more general admission type area with a premium placed on the better seats is a very sound and shrewed business decision. It gives the club more flexibility and allows them to attract supporters to a game here and there that might not have been able to previously due to the seating structure.

The problem has been with the implementation, they should have not gone for such a steep increase in prices across the categories this year due to current circumstances, would have been better to do it in stages. Limit the GA zones first and lessen the price across the reserved seats before moving up slowley over the course of the next 3 years. Thus keeping the total revenue base while getting a bigger GA zone which they want.

Cyggy actually talks?

He never said anything when mounted by Half Cat at Skilled near the Moorabool Street wing during the pre game in '08?

I think Peter's done it more than once.

I don't have a novated lease, but the efforts guys I work with to get their kms up always makes me chuckle. I know of one fellow in my group who primarily works remotely from his hobby farm in a sleepy hollow and drives around a 3 hour drive to a major city twice a week, he is a car nut and has a big fancy classic car that he owns outright and looked forward to enjoying using on the drive... then he got his wife a runabout car on a novated lease... now he drives the runabout in to the major city to rack up the kms and she drives the fancy car to the shops!

My brother in law was rung by his Doctor - now when you get calls like that you think the worse if the bloke keeps leaving messages - "please ring me ugently" so he finally rang him - the Doctor wanted BIL to swap cars with him for a month so as Brother in law could rack up a few thousand kms for him on his novated leased BMW. So the Dr had the Landcruiser (and got pinged for speeding!), BIL had the BMW and all were happy!
Still I reckon 2 trips by road to Perth in a year is a huge effort - but geting married at a Swans game is a bit cheap really - mind you I guess the cost of Footy food is pretty close to that of a reception venue.

i think know - but he could've at least asked Half Cat "what have you done for the Swans lately?"
