Do Collingwood fans read?

collingwood.JPGGroan … Collingwood made it to the top of the AFL ladder so I am trying the Collingwood magazine, Black & While, in an acrylic unit above the Herald Sun for this week.  It should work, we should get some sales from fair-weather fans.  I placed this on Sunday. If we have not seen any sales by Wednesday I’ll kick the title back to our sports section.  We have to be ruthless with these premium spaces above newspapers.

    Reading? Collingwood? Not Shaw. They are probably all in the Malt House!

    Change tactic Mark. Collingwood supporters are like computers – You have to punch the information in to them….Maybe a position in front of the ciggies might create sales…

    I hope this helps.

    The collingwood supporters I encounter are wonderful, cheerful, knowledgable and respectful human beings.
    They politely line up and purchse their AFL tickets from me, and I cannot be more than thrilled to have them come in and grace our premises with their effervescent smiles (teeth or no teeth). Good on Collingwood forever!!!

    I have, in front of the ciggies! Think about it, Mark want’s to sell it to this “cross section of the community” for sales of the title, but it hasn’t worked, but I reckon it would it placed near the smokes, rather than the papers which they can’t read…

    Sorry Brett, just realised the typo…..my defence is the proximity of the h button in relation to the n button….but it was of course “Unarmed”
