  3. Jags Groupon Offer?

    in Main Jags forum

    Posted · Edited by aberdeens jag

    It's been well publicised recently that Groupon offer massively reduced price deals at the expense of the vendor. Unless folk buy the vouchers then don't use them, they probably wouldnt bring in any revenue.

     

    Groupon take 50% and offer the vendor their share as an up front payment as a sweetener. Great for the consumer. Not so for gullible businesses...

    I suppose the thinking would be that if you can get people through the gate once you'll get them again, especially if they're lapsed fans. I guess it's an argument not without merit, but I suspect the audience of Groupon is a wee bit broad for such a promotion to break even. The free entry for under-16s is probably a more worthwhile venture in the long term.

     

    i think this is a great idea, as yes you do reduce price and take a profit hit - but the long term rewards can be amazing and I am a proof of it!

     

    Age 10 i wasn't massively into football, if i said i had a team it would have been the now extinct rangers fc as basically all my class supported them, and to an extent wearing a rangers top was fashion in my class. But on one football course i went on i got a FREE ticket to see Partick Thistle, this idea of going to it would never have happened without it as i was brought up in a rugby family and no interest in the jags apart from completing there section in my pannini spl sticker album!

     

    The game that was chosen was a game against Dundee Utd and this game was called off several times.... i honestly think it was 7 games it was called of but those of you who remember this could hopefully confirm the correct amount :)

     

    But in the end i got to it, caught the bug went to the next game,and the next game! the next year I bought a season ticket and followed them forever since, and as much as i can in person when living in Glasgow.

     

    If i never received this free ticket, who knows how things would have panned out, hopefully i would have seen the red and yellow light but this free ticket offer got me in, forever.

    Scottish Hurricane Appeal - Please give generously!

     

    Hurricane b*wbag hit central Scotland in the early hours of this morning. Victims were seen wandering round aimlessly muttering "Pure mental, man no?"

     

    The hurricane decimated the area causing approximately £9,000 worth of improvements. Several priceless collections of mementos from Majorca and Seville were damaged beyond repair. Three historically important areas of burnt out cars were disturbed. Many locals were woken well before their Giros arrived the next morning. Police state that incidences of looting, muggings and car crime were particularly high during the night, but calmed down when the hurricane struck.

     

    Forty-two asylum seekers were rescued from an apartment in Sighthill , rescuers are going to search the second bedroom later today.

     

    Radio Clyde has reported that hundreds of residents were confused and bewildered and were still trying to come to terms with the fact that something interesting had happened in Central Scotland .

     

    One resident, Bernadette O'Reilly, a 15 year old mother of 5 said "It gied me a pure fright so's it did. My little Chardonnay-Mercedes came running into ma bedroom greetin'. My youngest two, Tyler-Morgan and Natasha-Jordan-Jade slept through it all. Ah wiz still pure shaking when I was watching Trisha the next morning, so ah wiz". Neighbour Joseph 'young young' McGurn said "The noise wiz tremendous. At first ah thoat it wiz the young team coming oot of The Turf Bar, but it wiz even worser.

     

    The British Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of Bon Accord Pola Cola and two tons of Cheese Toasties to the area to help stricken locals.

     

    Rescue workers are still searching the rubble and have found quantities of personal belongings including Benefit books and bone china from Poundstretchers.

     

    Residents in neighbouring Fife offered to accommodate those left homeless, but the people of Central Scotland decided they were better off where they were..

     

    A Council spokesman has indicated that it would take take at least a full morning to get things looking like normal and added "There has been a pure Blitz spirit, everybody's been pure blitzed".

     

    Poundstretcher has agreed to stay open 24 hours to allow residents to refurbish their homes.

    The Government has pledged to ensure that bookies, pubs, chip shops and other essential services will reopen as soon as possible.

     

    HOW CAN YOU HELP?

     

    This Appeal is to raise money for food and clothing parcels for those unfortunate enough to be caught up in this disaster.

     

    Clothing most sought after includes - Fila or Burberry baseball caps, Hoodies, Kappa tracksuit tops (his and hers), Shell suits (female), white sport socks, Rockport boots or Adidas trainers. Food parcels are also urgently required. Please try to include - Microwave chips, Greggs Pies , Sugar Puffs, Tins of spaghetti, Gypsy Creams, Curly-Wurlies, Red Cola, cans of Special Brew and Diamond White, bottles of Buckie or El Dorado , glue or hairspray.

     

    Just 22p buys a biro for filling in the compensation forms. £2 buys chips, crisps and Irn-Bru for a family of nine. £3 will pay for a pouch of tobacco, papers and a lighter to calm the nerves of those affected.

     

    *Breaking News*

     

    Rescue workers have found a 10-year-old girl in the rubble. Apparently she was smothered in raspberry Alco- pop. When asked where she was bleeding from she replied " Old Caley Road , whit's it got to dae wi' you ya fudd
