Yes, of people I’ve spoken to i’d say it certainly is having a detrimental effect on the women’s team

[Albion] Club Marketing emails concerning ladies team

I am happy to hear about the mens, development and women's teams. I really do not think it would hurst to state 'Men's team signs new keeper' etc though. They are deliberately not putting which team the email applies to in order to get more people to open it. I am not going to lose any sleep over it but it is mildly irritating. For those claiming sexism and misogyny (yes I know some of it is in jest) then the clickbait issue applies to development squad too, it is not a gender issue.
Why do people get wound up about this?! Bizarre.

I’m sure you can understand my researched, measured, balanced, considered and reasoned posts take more than a few nanoseconds but I can knock them out reasonably quickly. You can’t put a time on the enlightenment of my fellow posters though; I’m happy to make the sacrifice.

Not seen such Bravery!
If the club could work this out we may see the levels of clickbait reduce.

Tsk, youth of today moaning about free emails, back in the day you had to spend money sitting on a telephone to hear no 1st team players had been signed

Why do you consider it 'trolling'...?
I don’t support the women’s team, I’m not interested. Arsenal don’t send me team updates, neither do Grimsby or Swindon, why won’t the Albion send the updates to those that are interested and stop spamming those of us who don’t give a shit.

Tbh I don't really think this is a case of clickbait. Our club is just trying to do their bit to raise the profile of the ladies team especially on the back of the world cup.
I don't get why anyone would be upset about it.

Just not interested, so if the club was clever they’d at least target ‘customers’ better using proper CRM.
Amateur Albion. Very.

Because people get a bombardment of comms each and every day!! Where have you been? Are you isolated on an island somewhere (with wi fi obviously)?
It’s like being repeatedly called by ambulance chasers. People tend to get annoyed when their day is interrupted regularly by someone or something thats of no interest to them. Whether a call, an email, leaflet in the street. It’s all the same. The Albion are being a bit annoying here. Be very simple to do.

I think most people got over it like I did.

It may stay but hopefully once the real game kicks off there will be less space available for the ladies

So many people are missing the point about so why many people are getting annoyed. It has nothing to do with being remotely sexist as a progressive club it is absolutely right that the club puts out there all the women's football news. What irks is that it's a quite deliberate piece of clickbait and no doubt somewhere statistics will misleadingly suggest that the hits prove a certain level of interest in the women's game. It doesn't need this sleight of hand. The recent World cup has proved an increased interest. However, and I make no apology for it, I'm just not that excited about the Albion's woman's team. Just simply make it obvious in the headline that it relates to the women.
If you can't muster 100 votes a poll on NSC is null and void. Fact.
Women have no place in the game. This email was obviously sent by a women. I rest my case.

If you follow the Unsubscribe link, it takes you to a Preferences page with a number of Yes/No options, including one labelled 'Pref Womens'. Could be that's how you can filter out news about the Women's team, tho the page is so poorly designed it's hard to tell.
Just set your email inbox so you can preview the content without opening the mail (if opening a mail, instantly realising it’s of no interest and deleting it in 2 seconds is detracting from your quality of life so much).

My smartwatch simply shows a notification. 'The Albion sign new keeper'. Now I know that most our new signings are women so I don't bother with the email. It's annoying at work as for a moment I get my hopes up.
I am sure the club don't want to disappoint lots of their fans but they certainly are. It would be simple to separate the different teams.
It's also ironic that so many people are stating that they can't understand why others are bothered, they are themselves getting bothered about other people getting bothered. Why not accept that not everyone is the same. None of us are annoyed about all the same things so why should this be any different.
