'Boiler Man'

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Strange choice. I could understand if it was Port Vail(ant).

 

[Taybha]

He's going to be under a lot of pressure this season , but come the winter months when needed no doubt that pressure will drop and everything will be cool .

 

[lawros left foot]

Someone will be in hot water over this choice, is it to help tap up players?

 

[Hampster Gull]

Wtf

 

[Triggaaar]

Is this a one off publicity thing?

 

[LamieRobertson]

Is this a one off publicity thing?

Next week its a radiator

 

[Bry Nylon]

Maybe we could have Stuart Storage-heater?

 

[BN9 BHA]

Is this a one off publicity thing?

WBA are now have Ideal Boilers as shirt sponsorship, so maybe not.

 

[SUA Seagull]

Is this a one off publicity thing?

I think it could be a pilot scheme before the new season

 

[sydney]

that's a gas

 

[studio150]

Given the opening result the boiler has already broken down

 

[Trevor]

Reading down they still have Baggy bird

Why would the sponsor do that? Ensuring their brand is forever associated (among those that have any brand recognition as a result of the sponsorship deal) with the most cringe-worthy costume in history!

Please please please don't replace Gully with a 6ft Credit Card Mr Barber!!!! #BarberOut (in anticipation!)

Looks like the topic has been bled dry, could just be a pilot episode that won’t fire up.

God help us as to what the mascot would look like if it was a stopcock.

 

[AmexRuislip]

Is there a Ms combi boiler or an old flame on the scene...........

Yeah, so they wanted some publicity. But permanent? That's just embarrassing.

I don't think being associated with a terrible costume is bad for the brand, but it's bad for the club IMO. People buying boilers won't care, football fans do.

Indeed, because we care about our club, not because we're worried what affect that would have on Amex.
