buster. 4,808 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 The category thing is absolutely ridiculous. It should be a case of selecting the most competent regardless of who they are. Although that would negate the whole point of this sham. This is one big PR exercise. The 'fan board' have been selected for a photo op. Look how diverse we are, just don't ask us any difficult questions. A day out at Ibrox followed by a short scripted Q and A session. Photos with Broxi the Bear all round. The different categories will enable what is intended to be in good part a propaganda tool, claims to be made that it is representative of the general support. Transparent Boards who truly and sincerly embrace engagement answer e-mails from large fans groups with a considerable number of shares (RST). Let me say that this is a 'plastic token' designed in part to marginalise 'awkward fans groups' and conceived at a time when Jack Irvine was the man who was in charge of communications strategy. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappa 0 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 One or two of the so-called '12 supporter demographics' just don't make any sense at all. Why separate female fans into their own demographic? Ethnic Minorities? Seriously? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
