Seagulls website today - Gus tribute to us

[del strangefish]

With the all the crap going on over a certain player, I have completely forgotten about the amount of season tickets we have sold and the other great players we have signed so far.

Vicente.
Discuss...

Nothing cringey about that article at all. No real content of any note either, mind.

Just a short press piece to keep the wolf from the door a few days longer - and to highlight the fact we've sold a shedload of STs.

 

[Jozza]

Made me feel warm and fuzzy

 

[B.W.]

Actually we, as fans, have done a lot more for our club, than others have done for theirs... perhaps Gus understands this, and chose to recognise it?

As has been said, there really is no need for too hard a sell on the remaining season tix... I am sure they will sell with or without a push from Gus... if he wants to make sure, the best way would be to announce the signing of a high calibre striker! <- note use of the exclamation mark as a 'marketing ploy'

 

[Bozza]

I've now got the exact same message not once but twice in emails from the club.

Rather than buying (more) season tickets to avoid disappointment, I might buy some to stop them nagging me every time I see either the club site, club emails, club FB statues or club tweets.

 

[desprateseagull]

how does that compare, percentage wise, against other 'larger' club capacities..?

 

[Vegas Seagull]

More standard ST's than the capacity of the Liberty stadium, get the cheque book out

 

[Mellotron]

The future is certainly looking bright. We just need to get the final three pieces of the jig-saw in place now - a left back, attacking midfielder and, most importantly, a striker... and soon.

Why soon? You know when the season starts yeah? And how it works regarding agents and deals etc.

"We have the tenth highest number of season ticket holders in English football, which shows that the Albion is a massive club."

Is there a table somewhere? Tenth sounds great, who are above us? Where are Palace in that table?

 

[ferring seagull]

Cynical I am, just wondered if this was the sort of 'Press Release' to be expected to take minds off the lack of action in the transfer market ?

 

[Napper]

Not really a fair test though as most clubs is still pay on the day and have dont have the ST culture we had at Withdean,

Best to weigh up average attendances

 

[Northstandite]

This Club that went through meagre years, is rising fast and is proudly publicising the fact to all (not just the NSC users who monitored s/t sales).

I love it.

LoL!

& what will they be next season??

 

[Easy 10]

So if a few of the best fans in the country voice their disapproval of Gus's tika-taka next season, does this mean that he won't simply "go hom" ?

Just asking, like.

 

[piersa]

Or does it mean we have a lot of bandwagon fans?

and a few fake fans in Australia

 

[brakespear]

Am I being cynical when I suggest the club has put the words into Gus' mouth for that piece, in order to try and sell the last few ST's?!

Exactly what I thought when I got this as an email earlier on (as I was on the waiting list but in the end couldn't afford a season ticket and have received other such encouragements since - not that I mind).

 

[sir albion]

I have no doubts we could get 40k in the prem so im not to surprised,even without gus we would still sell shiteloads anyway.

 

[Martin Lambert]

A nice positive press release from the club immediately laballed 'cringey' and pretty much made out as a negative..

Only on NSC ey?

Jesus.

this...

 

[Johnnyboy]

Cynical I am, just wondered if this was the sort of 'Press Release' to be expected to take minds off the lack of action in the transfer market ?

And might be even more cynical to think Gus is bigging up the club during negotiations with potential players?
