Guest Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Yup I am. What would have been wrong with 'signing announced later today, keep checking for details' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I agree, it means when there is genuine exciting news (like Ground developments) everyone will be jaded. If everything is hyped up, then nothing has a wow factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldhamandy1 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Problem is the club have to big up all incoming news, it increases the traffic on the site and thus revenue. Bury made £30,000 last season from their website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bury made £30,000 last season from their website I see what you are saying, buit it will be counter productive. I have long since stopped F5'ing the offical site, because as I said, it all becomes over hyped. I thought that went out with Tony Blair. AS someone else said all you ahve to do is first signing imminent, keep peeled for latest news etc I will be intrigued with I wonder who it is. With exciting news nonsense, I already let myself down gently as soon as I see it, knowing I am going to be underwhelmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimsleftfoot Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Hopefully he will be a good signing but, at this stage how anyone can consider this to be particularly exciting is beyond me. Unless the club considers us having enough players to play a match exciting. I think the point is that most of worry for the future of our club and considering the roller coaster past, it's not particularly great reading statements like that.

Midsblue Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Are we sure that the exciting news is Briwn signing? Could be other news yet to be released???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsPete Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) After today's 'exciting' news, anyone else getting bored of them? No. Take things with the knowledge that they'll be overhyped . Compared with some of the postings on here, the club is the master of understatement Edited June 8, 2012 by LaticsPete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmer1 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 isnt there thread somewhere claiming that Preston are signing everybody and we are being left behind when the season only finished 3 weeks ago? posters on here wanted a signing and now thay have one and its still not good enough considering the stories that do go on the website half the time like like kickz football or match worn shirts or the fact 2 of our best players have left recently, maybe the club thought the fans might be a little excited about our new right back been said a thousand times on here no but damned if they do.............. maybe they should do nothing then if you want to tip up at the first friendly you can see who's signed then?

You're missing the point. They hyped up a story as if it could have been ground development or a huge signing...and it was a dog :censored: non-league failure.

Midsblue Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 When we sign a new striker the official site will be describing the event on par with the big bang, the invention of the wheel and signing of Wayne Gill all rolled into one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc_lover Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 People keep saying "you've never seen him" but do we need to? The lad has been released by a club in the same league as us who was only just a reserve by the sounds of things and even HINKLEY think he's crap. With all our top earners gone I'm sorry but i do expect a better signing than this. If this is exciting then a football league standard player would make the world implode.

oafc-latics Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 to be fair, the 'exciting news' was announced on the twitter feed, not the official website. lots do have twitter but it may have been a misinformed tweet? the lack of incoming signatures has been quiet recently so 2 in a day is not bad. lets hope we can build on it and if the club get a few quid from internet traffic then that suits me.

Bit harsh to judge someone's ability when you haven't seen them play? Just because someone think that he's crap doesn't mean that he is crap. He might of had disagreements with the Sheffield manager and thats why he was released. By sounds of it, his twitter stuff has been his major downfall at Sheffield United. All our top earners gone? Are they? Taylor was one of the top earners, Diamond rumoured to be, and thats it. Its our first friggin signing and its only early June, give the club a chance eh? Season doesn't start for another 2 and a bit months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gulf is huge I completely agree...but like someone previously said, a Premier League reserve is about League One standard. A League One reserve is Blue Square at best!

The top and bottom of it is that two sets of fans do not rate the lad. That tells me he won't be the next Lee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz_Oafc Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Just to add, i think he was getting the boot at sheff utd regardless! The twitter thing just meant he was suspended til his contract ran out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
