It's not being broadcast across the whole of Scotland. Ah well, bang goes that theory!

Ads on the telly? Did someone get a big new marketing budget for Christmas?
Cost wise you could be talking circa £20k - but if it works, then good for Clan.
Not sure why they're getting negative feedback for doing something different. It's their cash, and if they think TV ads will raise their profile & generate more fans through the door then it's worth it. The real challenge is to then convert then from casual punters into regular match night attenders. Maybe a wee bit of jealousy among some posters becaause its Clan doing it?
Just sayin ...

They're not getting negative feedback. People are just saying its really nothing to do with us. The original poster thinks we should be patting them on the head when there's no need to. I dont see why anyone would be jealous.

Well said the other guys on the thread who clearly understand my point :-) In no way can it be a negative and if you are seeing it in Kirkcaldy then all good - if you understand that is ;-)

Why not just go back to a Clan forum, this is Fife’s forum and we really don't need to be arguing with such fans who seem to think they know it all he isnt really the most liked over there. infact i'm sure he 'resigned' Let's not make the issue personal. Everyone is entitled to their views.

I've never been banned from any forum (unlike some I could mention)-FACT! Bit hard to get banned when you're a moderator. . . .

I think that was an attempt to change the subject on a thread that he wisnae doing too well on - thankfully other peeps do get the point I was trying to make and for that I am pleased :-)

For what it's worth, it's good PR for the Clan and it's sort of PR for Scottish and British Ice Hockey but let's not get lost in space here Captain, the sole benefactor of this advert is intended to be the Braehead Clan and rightfully so, since they have spent the cash.

Exactly Skyhawk its a Braehead ad for prospective Braehead fans funnily enough featuring a Fife player. I just don't see why he is giving it big licks about how its beneficial for Fife hockey.
This is the Fife forum it either shouldnt be on at all or should be in other ice hockey.

He's a chap with a penchant for being excited quite easily. In his mind, this promotes hockey throughout the UK but in reality, it's 30 seconds of TV time to drum up more support for the Braehead Clan.
Good on them for giving it a go though.

Can I just point out that this advert is being shown in the west of Scotland only? It's hardly promoting on a national basis, so lets not exaggerate. Still, well done the Clan for trying it. Time will tell if it'll pay off. I've seen it twice now and I live in Kirkcaldy not the west of scotland. Ah, really? I take it all back then... Braehead Clan, promoter of Scottish Ice Hockey, saviour of the day.

Rather than try score points please tell me what the negative of an advert being on the telly has for any ice hockey team in Scotland?

Ronnie- not a single poster has said there is anything negative from a Clan perspective. Clan made the advert to promote themselves which is good for them. One or two of us are just reminding you that they didn't make the advert to promote hockey in general. I honestly can't see what the problem is here. There is a Fife link because they chose to use Bobby's dashing good looks before they punted him but thats it.

I think it's unrealistic to think this advert is aimed at doing anything other than promoting Braehead Clan only. Which, there's hardly anything wrong with. They've put up the cash, fair play to them.
It's not going to do any harm to any other Scottish team. I don't think it'll help either, though. But again, the Clan haven't put up the cash to help Fife, Edinburgh or Dundee.
I just think the claim that it's good for the other teams is misleading.
As I said earlier, I hope it works for them.
