Eurostar advert

[doheochai]

To celebrate the official takeover of EUFC by MyFC on February 19th Club sponsor Eurostar will be placing adverts in the national media. MyFC are currently voting on two options for the advert. The vote finishes at 5pm this evening.

 

Eurostar have also invited MyFootballClub members to their Bluewater shop, at 1.30pm Tuesday 19 February, to celebrate the official takeover EUFC by the members. Some Ebbsfleet United players and staff have been invited too.

Dom - what are ye voting on? Any chance of linking the images?

 

And is the invite strictly "MyFC Only" - creating ANOTHER divide??

Less than a hour to vote............I love this form of democracy!

We have the initial sketches (scamps) for two options for the advert.

Not a techie so don't know how to reproduce them.

The WT got them at 2pm and the agency needed a decision by 5pm.

I'll try and figure out how to get the winning one up.

I believe one of them at least is simulating an advert for a manger....'Manager(s) required for Ebbsfeet Utd' sort of thing. If that's the case I hope they have run it past Liam because it is extremely demeaning to him and might piss him off no end.

But he is about to sign a new contract!

[Santa]

Of course he is.....

They are here. Apparently advertising people, apart from talking loudly in London pubs throughout their 3 hour, on expenses, lunch breaks (or don't they get these any more?) only work from "scamps" which is what these are. Most comments on the thread favour Option B, because option A could be seen as demeaning to Liam. Option A also looks rather "nothing" in its sketch form, imo. They have been drawn up by people at Eurostar not MyFC.

 

Option A

Option A

Option B

Surely you aren't saying it is another stacked vote?(allegedly!)

[PatMan]

And option B actually mentions MyFC - wonder which one they will vote for?

We are going to have to print a lot of share certificates for all those new owners listed in option B

Which is an hour more than members will get on matchdays, deciding when and who will be substituted. Hope Liam has a wi-fi laptop so that he can keep in touch with the geeks.
I can see holes in virtually every aspect of this, Les.
Let us take the money and run!!!

[thatguy]

get printing then dave

I went with B for the fact that A was like kicking Liam right in the crown jewels, when in fact he has done a brilliant job, with the budget constraints, and broken promises.

They are probably already stashed under someones bed!

[Riverview Supporter]

THis is the sort of thing that should never have been put to vote. Option A shouts "DESPERATION".

Only happens with the Israeli version - not part of our plan.

Not too keen on either of the designs. Number two has to be the one really as the first run is downright offensive, both to Liam and some of the new overloads who actually think they really are experienced managers.

 

I think it's a nice enough thing for Eurostar to do though. Getting a glass of champagne is better than being offered some dodgy land purchasing deal isn't it?

 

MyFC need to sort out many things internally but I bet their appearance and speech at Bluewater will receive the most attention over the coming week.

 

This vote was issued with no time for me to actually vote. In fairness, I guess they have a printing deadline to meet or something.

Seen any flying pigs lately, Jeff?

Horse-shíte. The chosen ad company would have been told the deadline. If the "Opeator" took a long time deciding on which final 2 options to let the members decide from, that shows how little they trust the members to make the right decision.
