Title: Robin Moss (?)
Post by: Saughall Robin on July 02, 2022, 05:39:11 PM
What's this conundrum all about?
And what's with the seeming obsession with teasing us?
If there's some good news, just tell us!!

It's probably not football related - Davidson's also sponsor motor sports.

There's so much teasing that I'm convinced Wayno has hijacked the Twitter 😂

I reckon it is J Davidson extending his sponsorship deal

He might be paying for putting seats in the centre section of the popular side for the extra comfort of the old codgers who like to watch the game from there 😉😎


PS. I'd move back from the main stand if that's the case 😊😊😂

Maybe it's just a bit of fun to pass the days in a period of the close season when there are no matches yet and we haven't completed all our summer signings. It keeps the social media active and people engaged, good idea if you ask me.

On the evidence of the advance publicity, I'm predicting that the newest members of the Altrincham FC board of directors are Daft Punk:

Just as likely as anything else I suppose given the lack of information.
Perhaps it's Daleks to help us exterminate the opposition next season? 😎🤯

Jeb the goat?
We don't need to bring him back, he's buried under the pitch at the corner of the Golf road and pop side isn't he? 😏

I find all the tantalising videos etc amusing and frustrating. I did think maybe a new player announcement, but now feel its more corporate in some way. Who knows but keeping us on our toes.

As previously stated, Davidson's do a lot of other stuff - including in the racing space.

This coming season there will be some sort of stock car racer adorned in Alty FC colours. Or something along those lines.

I see us branched our brand and name in to other areas such as eSports, Basketball etc. Maybe this is testing the water

Top kit release that, great idea well executed. Our social output has been superb over the past few months, noticeably gone up a few notches.

Away shirt pre-ordered!

Totally agree, we are light years ahead of where we were from a marketing and commercial point of view. Great to see such a slick, professional launch and totally in keeping with the new, full time approach.

How incredibly slick are we now?! It almost makes me well up, honestly! - everything from top to bottom is so impressive.

I'm going to put it out there - that might just be the nicest away kit we've ever had. We'll sell millions of them.

The club have done something that wouldn’t look out of place if a Championship club had done it from a social media perspective and in the process released probably the smartest Alty kit I’ve ever seen (the away one) and that’s the reaction, oh dear. We have come light years from an out of focus photo of a shirt on a coat hanger and we should all be very grateful for that.

Dunno if it's just me but I didn't get the connection between racing and the new kit? I like the high production video but the build up to it is a bit puzzling
Title: Re: Robin Moss (?)
Post by: GolfRoader on July 08, 2022, 11:06:22 AM
I thought it all felt a bit messy and directionless personally but I get that we’re trying new things and pushing the social media and marketing side more. I just didn’t really understand  the connection between the racing stuff and a new kit?? Ambitious idea, though so full marks for that.
Title: Re: Robin Moss (?)
Post by: HashtagAlty on July 08, 2022, 11:09:40 AM
First away kit I've wanted to buy since 2008/9 yellow kit.

Also I think the GK kits are very smart.

Well done John Coyne, Alty TV and anybody else involved.

We're on the up again!

It depends what you call an 'improvement' I suppose. I thoroughly detest advertising that isn't relevant to the product that's being marketed. Think about meerkats, anything from Money Supermarket, or the utterly appalling stuff churned out by IKEA. Robin Moss fits in with those in my opinion.

I'll probably buy the away shirt - but this nonsense isn't the reason for that decision.

I agree the motor racing stuff was a bit random - unless there's more stuff to be revealed, who knows. But you know what, I'm not going to lose sleep about it.

What far outweighs it is today's marketing campaign - which the players, fans and wider community all seemed to love being a part of.

Might be a dangerous thing to say, but seeing Ryan Colclough on the marketing material does make me slightly less worried!

Do we think we're going with yellow shorts with the away kit - surely we can't be going dark on both kits?

Given the respective colours of our opponents, I assume the away one might be given an outing at West - and the home one over at Wythy.

I don’t think yellow shorts would look right, I’d go with the dark blue.

Yeah. Some clothes. Just not my thing at all, I hope it adds funds to the club but I won't be buying a Robin Moss Speeder Tee.

Come on Alty.

I doubt the new kits will be used before we kick off in the league. In previous seasons we've used old strips in the friendlies.

Egg on face time - we're wearing the new away strip at WD&C. Probably another example of us upping our game now that we're full time. Pity it's not being reflected on the pitch....
