Very strange mentality of some posters on here, from some picking holes in a celebratory club promo video because there’s women and someone with a disability in it, and others who thank that type of post and others who take it as a warning not to watch it. Funny, now I think about it, I didn’t even notice how many women were in it on first viewing, or that there was someone with a disability in it. I posted it as a good example of a professionally made promo video that I couldn’t see SUFC doing under the current regime, merely because the club is rotten to the core. Comments I made afterwards regarding inclusivity and equality were in response to those comments from awaywego knocking it. Bizzare how quickly the anti-woke mob quickly find faults where they don’t exist and take up arms. Though judging by the comments made in the past, it’s not that surprising. Flip it on it’s head and I can foresee a situation whereby awaywego and cohorts are down at GP with a clipboard, counting how many women and people with disabilities are about to appear in a new Iron promo video, and shouting ‘stop!! One is too many!! Where will this madness end!!!’ 🤣

[Deereyme66]

True, there’s only one person, with a few posters thanking, that seem to be getting worked up by certain people included in a football club promo video. Bonkers. ‘Where will it all end’ indeed.

So you’re saying the club’s doing well with its equality policy? Make your mind up 🤣

Did i not say the match day commentator was a man and Mrs two got her way? I am only highlighting what is going on in society ( maybe not the right word). I could have been shot down in flames if during this tournament there were more men than women pundits but I am sure you can all see I was right, it’s not as though it’s the first time I have pointed this out, some or all might be ok with this but I am not, end all this political correctness and diversity especially in football, the knee, rainbow flag and lace day and of course the “me too”.

You, and anyone else who’s frequently offended by the promotion of equality at SUFC can always take it up with the club. There’s a complaint procedure – here’s the clubs equality policy that you might want to reference and point out the things you want to end with immediate effect. Let us know how you get on:

Exactly. And why shouldn’t they be in the video?

Just tilt your shoulder to the right a bit there awaywego. Some of those chips will go great with this bbq burger.

Here’s an example of how that celebratory professional and welcoming club promo video can work to gain new interest:

I admit I've never heard of Altrincham FC until this morning, but what an introduction to the team. Jealous of your generational community connection. Count me in.

‘far to political correct video even managed to get someone with a disability in there.’

We know you don’t think women should be anywhere near football awaywego but anyone who takes issue with that video supposedly being ‘too politically correct’ needs to get a life. The idea is to promote inclusively and show the club isn’t stuck in a 70s mindset and welcomes everyone, including women, people with disabilities and minority groups. It’s a good thing to do and will help attract new supporters who may think attending isn’t for them. I suppose there’s always going to be fans who’d prefer football to stay in the dark ages.

I occasionally agree with you awaywego. This is one of those rare moments.

They’ll say Labour supporters are patronising and elitist anyway. Indeed some are, some may well think I am, but a lot of it’s generated by the political and media right. But I agree, if you’re a Labour politician or activist you need to pretend you’re interested in hearing their bigoted stoneage views. Until you get caught out like Gordon Brown of course. Anyways, different approaches and attitudes to tackling the same problem maybe?

Aye,suppose it comes down to that pretty much. Money talks. If potential singings are concerned they’re about to join a toxic club , a better wage may well assuage those fears! Which in itself would be a concern. If we were offering big money that is! So what calibre of player does that leave us with? Unless Keef can sell it to em? Maybe he can. I live in hope.

‘For us, you, Oldham, Notts County and Southend there is no doubt all were/are basket cases that fell out the league because of the mess they were/are in.’

🤣 you’re right there Rich. Speaking to an Oldham fan today and he was optimistic regarding their recent ownership and signing matters.

Here’s some philosophical questions Siderite – do you think attitudes like mine are not helping matters? If yes, and I changed my attitude to be more accommodating to folk with right wing views and swinging voters who go for personality, would that help matters?

[Deereyme66]

Appreciate what you’re saying Siderite and I think you’re right to an extent but I’m not in the habit, in a paid or voluntary capacity to canvas or lobby the voting public to ‘try and win them over’. That’s for those that are in those positions. This is merely a non footy forum viewed by a relatively small amount pf people. Many on here think I’m a patronising t*** anyway (they’ve said so) but I’m not here to make long lasting deep friendships. What is it we keep hearing over the last few days? The public now want honesty and integrity. Well, I’m just falling in line here!

I’ve got a big beef with prominent people like Grayson Perry and Russell Brand, who make programmes and narcissistic YouTube shows that basically kowtow to pretty horrible people because apparently we should ‘understand their concerns and compromise’. There’s too much of that going on as far as I’m concerned. It’s edging towards legitimising hatred and bigotry in my opinion and I’ve little appetite for it. I understand and respect the point you’re making but beg to differ.

[Deereyme66]

Some might perceive it as snobbery Siderite; I’m past giving a damn. There’s a direct correlation between low reading ages, Sun readers and voting habits. Just a fact. Yes many of his supporters bought his style so basically trying to talk any sense to them is pointless. If your face or personality doesn’t fit with them then forget it. I’m not going to lie and say I don’t think such people are fools, to put it mildly.

[Deereyme66]

I’ll be on a plane – shame

[Deereyme66]

‘And none more so than those with their flags, statues, and a reading age of 9.’

That’s generous – 8 more like. Judging by a fair number of his voters being interviewed yesterday, even that might be stretching it. Apologies to viewers who found the last sentence too long.

Stop making sense!

‘As we’ve seen in the test matches this summer, making the last day free admission has filled the grounds and therefore filled the bars.’

Take the women’s England match at the theatre of nightmares the other night. Press and media constantly saying it was a sell out when a large amount of tickets were given away to school groups and kids. You won’t ever see or hear that though, but it makes perfect marketing sense – makes future matches more appealing to potential buyers. Similar to a loss leader. SUFC need to be more strategic – across the board

[Deereyme66]

Thanks but no thanks

[Deereyme66]

Not what I said awaywego. Nothing about how they regard any supporters. Just that surely casuals are vital to overall revenue? Certainly not saying they’ve set prices right or have any regard for fans. Miscalculated pricing, yes. But that’s hardly a surprise.

The playing budget may well be based on season ticket sales but I’m sure the club management regard casual supporters as a bit more than a ‘bonus’. They’re vital to the overall season revenue, surely?

[Deereyme66]

Potential for getting ‘rammed up against the wall’, apparently. Crikey!
