Post subject: Introducing Collingwood Forever | |
|
Hi everyone,
We've got an official announcement about this new initiative coming up later on today, but we thought it was important to give you and the guys on BigFooty the first look at it.
The club has launched a new website, forever.collingwoodfc.com.au, which celebrates our history - the players and the matches and the key events and untold stories.
As well as the staples, it also features the records of each club award (previously much of this information had never been collated), the history of Victoria Park, an interactive timeline dating back to 1892 and stories about the people and events behind the club.
This is project is unprecedented in Australia and is one of, if not the, biggest sporting club online museums in the world.
To view the site, head to http://forever.collingwoodfc.com.au/
It will be officially launched later on today, but we'd love you to check it out and tell us what you think.
The site will continue to evolve as time goes by, so if you have any further information on a past player or story, be sure to let us know (forever@collingwoodfc.com.au is our email address).
Floreat Pica!

Nice to see the club hasn't forgotten about selling us stuff at vastly inflated prices, the first thing you see is the club trying to flog off LE merchandise lol, they officially have no shame.
Members or cash cows? _________________ Defender...........

Is any body twisting your arm to buy this stuff?
Are you being forced to pay for anything you don't want?
Is it possible that OTHER supporters may have an interest in this offer and therefore the club is assisting them accordingly?
Any hope that you could possibly have an unbiased view on our club has been completely dispelled by this immature and uninformed post.
As I have previously said - you'll hopefully grow out of this once you finish high school.
And I have every confidence you'll achieve DUX of "sad sackery".

Don't mind him.
Defender's just dirty that he can't afford any of the merchandise owing to doing his cash betting against Collingwood last week. Things are probably tight in the Defender household ie dining on Pal and he's probably sleep deprived because he can't afford to leave the lights on when he goes to bed like he normally does.
Have some empathy for a battler doing it tough |

Our once great club is in crisis and Eddie continues his attempts to empty the pockets of the faithful. _________________ Defender...........

Thanks Luke. The site is excellent. Something that true Pies supporters will enjoy. Don't worry about Defenders comments. He is just a little touched. _________________ Now Retired - Every Day Is A Saturday |

I just thought it'd be a nice touch to do something for the fans without sales pitches, the club IMO is losing it's soul, mass spillage at board level is required. _________________ Defender...........
