Why is there a ventriloquist's dummy of Andrew Shaw on the front row?
:D :D :D
-
Why are Andrew Shaw and various other directors/secretary's on the front row of the team photo anyway? I find it nauseatingly tin pot.
A team photo should be a team photo, not a club photo in my opinion. If it's a club one we've missed the gatemen off.

Up the revolution!

Lets also not forget what these guys do for the club. I have no problems what soever, I think its a good photo

I agree they do a great job and 'the team' includes those who keep the club running but I also think the most prominent part of a team photo should be the players.

Hmmm, not keen on the pic at all. Don't like it in the family stand, don't like the back room staff on it.
It's a little embarrassing tbh. Sorry.

Que suprise! G Rowley is donning a rather large grin!

either he can inflate his throat like a frog or Simon Richman has a master plan to take over the club by replacing the board members with dummies!

Maybe it would just be nice for them to be able to show the grandkids in a few years and say "that's me there".
They don't get many other perks do they?
Or has someone spotted one of them having an extra slice of quiche in the boardroom and want action taken.
Nothing would surprise me...

Personally I think it is the worst team photo that I have seen for a few years,a team photo should be the players plus manager, physio & coaches.Why not have a seperate one of all the people who run the club with all the backroom staff who are involved on it.I would suggest
a re-take,preferably out on the pitch but I stress it is only my personel view on this.
-
Will you lot stop kicking off, it's not even the official photo.
"he official team photo was taken by Gavin Rathbone and this will appear soon. In the meantime, the above website photo shows the squad with the winner of the raffle for a place in the team photo"
-
I agree with DAB,it's awful and very amateur.
-
Crap photo shock: Sinnot out!
Its a bloody team photo for goodness sake, its not supposed to go in the Tate or anything!
-
Jesus Christ, whatever next.
-
personally I dont see anything wrong with the photo. People like Dana Laidlaw took time out to sell raffle tickets to people to win the chance of having there piccy with the team and staff...
RAISING MUCH NEEDED MONEY for the club - or is that a daft idea these days..
Well done and thank you to the people who sold the tickets and fans who bought them

Im thrilled to see that the team photo has attracted so much attention, for the record there are some certain requirements for an 'official team photo' as by the rules of the league, these include back-room staff on the photo so they can wear the leagues sponsored bench kits, and of course it is also recognition for the fact they will do an essential job for the next 10 months. Also as an 'Official' photo (call it club photo if preferred) you have the 'officials' involved which will be those in the suits!
It goes without hesitation to say that the best place for the photo is in the middle of the pitch with the main stand behind them......however when it is bouncing down with rain that is not possible for a) the photo looking crap with rain fall and b) the chairs used ruining part of the pitch.
We could of course have waited for the rain to stop but it was thought better to get the photo done in the stand instead so the players could get some training in as this may be more important!
I personally don't feel water bottles make the perfect team photo but before someone makes comment there again these are a necessary requirement from the league for sponsor reasons, i'm sure all will agree we don't need a fine because we haven't followed instruction!
I hope that clarifies a few things for everyone who has concern, the photo seen has been taken by John as part of the wonderful job he does of the site as the photo from me won't be able to go online till at least Monday for a valid reason.

Incredible youve had to come on here and defend the picture in the first place, but thanks for the clarification.
As usual another person is involved with the club and helps us to be more professional looking than a lot of league clubs!

I'm sure that I can see Graham Heathcote peering out through one of the windows of the Sponsors' Lounge, too......
Our next team photograph should be done in the style of the cover artwork to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
-
If it HAD been taken on the pitch, I'd not put it past Nicky Clee to run round and appear on both ends ;D
I'd have put it past Craig Dootson though, and so would our dog.

I much prefer the 19th C style a la Royal Engineers FA Cup where everyone just drapes themselves around! Much more casual! :D (PS Wish I was a computer whizz and could include a photo here!)

Brian,
Here you go.
Adopting the wearing of hats (rather than snoods) could be worth pursuing:

I would thank Alty Snapper for the explanation over the team photo & in no way do I criticise the inclusion of the prize winner,I didn't know that John had taken this particular photograph.All that I am trying to point out is how important the team photo is,in respect of selling them in the club shop etc.I know that in the past by the time the season started that there have been a few players on it that had already left the club.At least now we will be seeing what looks like the starting squad for the season on this years photo.

That will never do - a manager in a suit - it's the thin end of the wedge...
Is it just me or is that John Wark I can see sat in the middle with the hat on
