.... am i the only one who finds this embarrassing for the club to be doing this?
Hopefully. Would be nice to get through 48 hours as a Charlton supporter without my fellow addick brethren being either morally outraged or embarrassed at something to do with the club or our support!
ha brilliant! Great idea from the club/marketing dept to get a viral video going , certainly better than the ad's they've done in the past! Well played the club for going along with it!
It reminds me of the most controversial Benetton ads. The Italian egotist who did them defended them by saying "well the whole world noticed". A British creative director wrote in reply " Look, if you go to a party with your flies undone, and your willy hanging out, for sure everyone will notice you. But don't expect anyone to like you, and don't expect to be invited back again."

your comment outrages me. I'm so embarrassed that you're a charlton supporter

Sold a shit load of duffel bags and jumpers though. And nobody died because of it.
I'm sure the ghosts of long lost players and supporters will be very proud tonight. Cause, hey, we can earn a few quid getting some city wankers to hire the pitch.
I joked about this on another thread but am appalled to hear it may have actually been the club, sorry to get all Daily Mail but thought we were supposed to be a family club
I don't think it would've been so bad had they not done the out of context clip, although it obviously worked very well.
This was the genius of it. No way would it have gone viral internationally or made an appearance on the main BBC site without the "teaser".
don't think it's genius. Having a couple have sex is pretty much the most obvious thing you could do. Maybe something else to do with the valley like strange goings on, a superhero, i don't know, be creative. Just think for a family club like ours I'd rather the thinking would've been a bit higher brow than sex. I support the idea behind it, but the execution is a bit cringe.

So you say. But then they stopped doing all that shit. Ever wonder why?

And why does a humurous viral campaign change the good we've done to the community and making it accessible for young people to watch us?

It is a bit of seaside postcard humour. It's not as if they've stuck a Charlton badge on the director's cut of 50 shades of grey.
We are a family club but not everyone of us sees this sort of thing as an affront to people's morals. Pretty tacky yes but I can't recall another football marketing ploy, certainly not a Charlton one, that has garnered so much national attention as this did today.
Now people up and down the country know the pitch is available. Objective achieved.
Even suggests we are a club with a sense of humour and God forbid, perhaps even developing a bit of personality.

This. (Don't forget to bring your car keys to the next trust meeting)

Because it had served its purpose, achieved its aimed and objectives and acknowledged its shelf life and cleared off became stagnant like too many marketing/ advertising campaigns seem to do.

Yeah with all the shit going on in the world today the ghosts (ha ha) of my grandad and members of our 1947 cup winning team are bouncing around heaven tonight spitting feathers that the sacred turf has been desecrated in a clever 30 second marketing viral aimed at increasing the club's revenue.

So you're happy that we have "national attention" as a result of a Nuts magazine style stunt intended to promote The Valley as a high calibre recreation ground?
don't think putting our 'family club' image in disrepute comes in to it - specially on a day when we announce under 11's can either go free all next year or pay £25 for a season ticket!

Not to say it isn't genius!
I'm actually pretty impressed.
Brilliant marketing campaign, to dupe the media like that takes some doing

Hardly going to ruin our family club image, a staged video isn't going to stop me bringing my kids to games, would be seriously odd if it did!
That blokes scored as many as I have at the valley after his performance
Deary me. ;-)
Same day they announce a great deal for U11s they show a couple having a shag on the pitch?
Classy.
