sfc1976 Posted 26 October, 2017 Posted 26 October, 2017 Haven't heard 'slash' used for a while. Apart from that, not for me really.
niceandfriendly Posted 26 October, 2017 Posted 26 October, 2017 Is that David Earl? Good job getting him.
Suhari Posted 26 October, 2017 Posted 26 October, 2017 Good fun. Our media team does do a good job. Though I can't help feeling that the quality of the 'product' we're experiencing on match days, and this type of trumpet-blowing don't really live together too well. Perhap's I'm drifting towards the Saints-cynic side of the force?

Perhap's I'm drifting towards the Saints-cynic side of the force? Gimmicks, marketing garnish and branding campaigns from hipsters in Hoxton or Brixton seem to define what UK PLC is about is in 2017, not just saints. Utterly depressing stuff.
ChudSaint Posted 26 October, 2017 Posted 26 October, 2017 Part 2, still no clearer to the point of it...
Daft Kerplunk Posted 26 October, 2017 Posted 26 October, 2017 Maybe the club will unleash a new batch of academy players that nobody knows about yet because Les has been keeping them ‘secret’ from England u-17 selectors etc.
hypochondriac Posted 26 October, 2017 Posted 26 October, 2017 The Barry gale stuff was funny and original but the whole marketing stuff is getting boring now.
SaintIT Posted 26 October, 2017 Posted 26 October, 2017 Compare this with "Kids sneaking into St Marys stadium" thread video. Is there a connection?
Ohio Saint Posted 26 October, 2017 Posted 26 October, 2017 This stuff was great when we had optimism. Not so much now.....product first, fun stuff after, please.
MongoNeil Posted 26 October, 2017 Posted 26 October, 2017 Watched part 2 on youtube and this video started playing next... I wish we still had an in-form Rickie
angelman Posted 26 October, 2017 Posted 26 October, 2017 Part 2, still no clearer to the point of it... Tis the time that mushrooms grow and I suspect that it is a bountiful year and someone has been munching a few too many of them.
scotty Posted 26 October, 2017 Posted 26 October, 2017 The Barry gale stuff was funny and original but the whole marketing stuff is getting boring now. Thought I spotted barry in that clip. Guy in the entry barrier window?
The Cat Posted 26 October, 2017 Posted 26 October, 2017 Wish he was in character from Derek :/ I wish he was in character as Brian Gittins. He played in Southampton recently and was absolutely hilarious. As for this film, well it made me laugh. All pretty harmless stuff and quite inventive for a football club.
CB Fry Posted 26 October, 2017 Posted 26 October, 2017 Gimmicks, marketing garnish and branding campaigns from hipsters in Hoxton or Brixton seem to define what UK PLC is about is in 2017, not just saints. Utterly depressing stuff.Agree with this. The videos are fine, perfectly pleasant and I like Brian Gittens (the short Youtube film of him and his robot Charles is very good) but how the fu ck this stuff has anything to do with our core purpose I won't ever work out. There is far too much pointless marketing wa nk in the world and to be honest this is just adding to the slagheap.
Master Bates Posted 26 October, 2017 Posted 26 October, 2017 I love it, X Files cross SFC. At the moment I see it as the club's fun insight to the training ground. Who knows it may end up being something different. At the end of the day it's good to see our clubs media team having the guts and good sense of humour to do things like this, and I'm sure the players are using up their spare time for filming. They're allowed a life after all. I loves me club me does
Master Bates Posted 26 October, 2017 Posted 26 October, 2017 Compare this with "Kids sneaking into St Marys stadium" thread video. Is there a connection? I thought that at first but the club couldnt have thought up a reaction so soon surely?
angelman Posted 26 October, 2017 Posted 26 October, 2017 Embarrassing pile of hore****e Hey Pluts, not sure what's worse. This. Or that Villa game being a Cat A (as it was last home game of the season).
Saint Garrett Posted 26 October, 2017 Posted 26 October, 2017 Not quite sure of the point of it, but always quite enjoy these things. First two episodes all a bit pointless so far though...we shall see it evolves...!
skintsaint Posted 27 October, 2017 Posted 27 October, 2017 Timed with the release of Stranger Things season 2...which is out today! Hurrah.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 27 October, 2017 Posted 27 October, 2017 Thought this was a nice bit of fun from the club...nothing bad about.
Fan The Flames Posted 27 October, 2017 Posted 27 October, 2017 Maybe the audience that they want it to appeal to isn't you miserable ****s.
shurlock Posted 27 October, 2017 Posted 27 October, 2017 Thought this was a nice bit of fun from the club...nothing bad about. It's certainly keeping Stuart Taylor busy.
STEVEADAMS Posted 27 October, 2017 Posted 27 October, 2017 Seems like it is for the academy and parents etc of potential new recruits.
Minsk Posted 27 October, 2017 Posted 27 October, 2017 Thought this was a nice bit of fun from the club...nothing bad about. Maybe the audience that they want it to appeal to isn't you miserable ****s. This
Mowgli Posted 27 October, 2017 Posted 27 October, 2017 Embarrassing pile of hore****e Thank you Victor Meldrew...
shurlock Posted 27 October, 2017 Posted 27 October, 2017 (edited) Seems like it is for the academy and parents etc of potential new recruits. Seems like it. If the Academy is so special, makes you wonder where all the world-class, emerging talent has gone. Alien abduction? Edited 27 October, 2017 by shurlock
nta786 Posted 27 October, 2017 Posted 27 October, 2017 no way near as good as previous PR stuff, such as the April Fools Day things or the Barry Gale Stuff, but meh, can add this to stuff the club doesn't end. Like who can remember 'The March', only had like 2 episodes and then that died. also funny how they blurred the whole blackbox screen out, after last time they fuc*ed up and all the players speed times could be seen lol.
Pamplemousse Posted 27 October, 2017 Posted 27 October, 2017 It’d be good if we actually had academy players in the first team though...
RobM Posted 27 October, 2017 Posted 27 October, 2017 It’d be good if we actually had academy players in the first team though... My first thought was this. I quite like all this marketing / PR / media nonsense, it's all harmless fun and worth a few minutes to watch. But surely we could have picked a better topic than celebrating the success of an academy that has zero players in regular first team action?
mrfahaji Posted 27 October, 2017 Posted 27 October, 2017 David Earl is great and even the storyline is quite funny, but the acting from the Saints' staff is a bit cringey and the self-congrulation/promotion is even worse... "We produce world class footballers, it's what we do"
SKD Posted 27 October, 2017 Posted 27 October, 2017 Don’t get it, don’t find it funny, find it a bit cringe and embarrassing and a complete waste of money / time to be honest.
SaintMB Posted 27 October, 2017 Posted 27 October, 2017 Don't hold back, tell us what you really think of it.
