SaintJackoInHurworth Posted 16 April, 2015 Share Posted 16 April, 2015 I noticed earlier and advert for the Tories on the Saints website. I hope that the club are not getting political and that they have received a large fee for that to appear there. Considering a previous duck-hunting owner of the club got too involved with politics (with the Referendum Party - predecessors to UKIP), I hope that, whatever the political preferences of individuals within the club, those opinions will remain firmly outside of club dealings.

syd_barrett_saint Posted 16 April, 2015 Share Posted 16 April, 2015 They use Google Adwords for some of their website adverts. Saints probably don't even realise that the Tories have appeared on the site through that channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it on the site, or is it a pushed advert, e.g. through Adsense? If the latter, the website doesn't control what gets displayed, to a certain extent. In fact, ads are often personalized to the user, so maybe your internet search history points towards you being sympathetic to voting Tory or a possible swing voter.

Oh yeah, I meant Adsense, not Adwords - although they are two sides of the same Google ad system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkou Posted 16 April, 2015 Share Posted 16 April, 2015 As others have said, the ads you see say much more about you than the club. I for example get adverts for penis extension and dating websites.. As for the club getting political, other than encouraging people to vote, they should probably keep clear. (Vote tory!)
