Looks like an advert for ASBOs...
Who even thought this up!? Even worse, who signed it off!? | | | |

It's bad enough being regarded as slow / loser/ tragic for being a Dale fan in the outside world, surrounded as I am by fans of You-nigh-idd and citeh.
It's quite something else for your own club to treat you the same way. |  | | |

Can’t believe everyone is making such a fuss of this. I think this is quite a smooth piece of local marketing, it draws some attention, clearly!. Hounding the media team is seriously a bit low.... |  | | |

Also considering the 'trouble' last year at this fixture. It really isn't well thought out is it. | |

Well, I like it, each to there own I guess but it shows we are trying something to connect with new fans and that should be supported. | | | |

Stewie Day got a hell of a raised profile off various nonsense and talksport.
Can’t recall if that went well or not but someone will no doubt know. | |

I think we can all throw examples of bad publicity to prove points.
I suppose it depends on which way you want to twist the argument.
You also have to appreciate that the only people that are really annoyed by this on here are current Dale fans who bizarrely, thought were were making a signing.
As someone else pointed out this advertising campaign is trying to drum up interest in the first home fixture for people who dont regularly go. I'd say the billboard gets your attention and it's good that the club are at least trying. | | | |

Not got an issue at all with trying to raise the clubs profile at all, see my previous posts, but why say it’s a new signing?
Non current fans probably will know nothing until the billboards go up and the current fan base, a small sample so far admittedly, in the majority, think it’s poor.
I stand by it being absolutely stupid at best. | |

Only James1980 mentioned it was a new signing, which he has since realised was an error on his part. |  |

In fairness it says nothing at all about anything other than BBM pictured in a hoody, so I accept that but still think it’s lousy.
How about..... MEN and Rochdale Online
“Despite a number of clubs in the north west area currently having high profile financial issues and expected to start the season with points deductions, Rochdale have staged an ambitious marketing campaign with billboards placed in prominent area’s of the town in order to raise the profile of the club.
For years Rochdale have run on a stable footing, with little more that survival being their aim, however with ambitious young manager Brian Barry Murphy, and a stable footing for years in league 1, marketing manager x confirmed that substantial funds had been set aside in order to raise the profile of the club.
We are a community club who need our community to support us, and in turn we will do all we can to entertain and give back to our community. It’s not just about football, but also about forming Alliances and giving something long term to the town of Rochdale and the people here.”
I am by no means a journalist, my punctuation is appalling and I can’t spell, but how would what I cobbled together in 15 minutes watching Corrie be worse? Get the press involved and make it a big deal!!!! | |

Its a case of medium, though. ABC figures for the Rochdale Observer in 2018 show a readership of just over 3,000, which is piss poor. And, unfortunately, no one beyond local media would give two fooks about a story like that.
So, I’m not faulting the club’s strategy, just the execution. Making BBM look like a hoodlum makes no sense whatsoever. |  |

I agree totally fitz, nobody really cares outside of the town, but if we got 1% of the observer readers to turn up, even occasionally, it’s something, with no cost.
As you state the execution is shockingly bad but the idea is good. | |

Have I missed something here? Two tweets is hardly a 'marketing campaign', it's a couple of pictures - and the club trying something that no doubt appeals to a younger audience.
Can't wait for the football to start so people don't get so worked up about nothing. |  | | |

Astonishing isn't it. Damned if they do. Damned if they don't. It'd be perfect if they put that banner on the next fixture board and left it there for the season. [Post edited 22 Jul 2019 21:37]
