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!kentaddick said:.... am i the only one who finds this embarrassing for the club to be doing this?

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.0

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!3 -
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."5

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".JiMMy 85 said: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.

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.2

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 club9

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.RodneyCharltonTrotta said:

Possibly the most un-Charlton like campaign I've ever seen! Completely amazed they've done it really.
Not to say it isn't genius!1 -
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?razil said: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'm actually pretty impressed.

Lighten up all you uptight gits jesus
Brilliant marketing campaign, to dupe the media like that takes some doing6 -
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.razil said: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
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.

Just a bit of light hearted fun. I have had 4 people email me about it today so it did get out there.
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!3 -
And how do you think families are made?razil said: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

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.PragueAddick said:

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.stevietwells said:I'm sure the ghosts of long lost players and supporters will be very proud tonight.

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?RodneyCharltonTrotta said:

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!1
