Very interesting. Big boost for the forum.

Without the BBC I suppose the project has to be monetised.

Please don't bring in ads.

by red_stag Wed Jul 13, 2011 12:48 pm

Big big scalp to get. Done a great job getting that.

This is a mutual link Portnoy providing a chance for our members to win a shirt. We have cross-links with a number of sites, Kooga are the first to give us a competition to benefit our members (and hopefully attract new ones!)

I wish you hadn't used 'going forward.'

by D24tress Wed Jul 13, 2011 12:54 pm

Great work and worth the wait for the announcement

Presume as it goes on some proper big clubs might give away a jersey
Whistle

:run2:

only joking great idea lads, should hopefully get some more people on here aswell

by **Notch** Wed Jul 13, 2011 1:00 pm

KooGa get a lot from this for a little.

If you can get access to players for interview etc. through this it will help the forum a great deal. On the other hand, if we get articles that are basically free PR for KooGa clogging up the boards it will detract from the experience.

Interesting times.

The competition is a great idea and I'm sure a lot of the Os fans will be delighted to have a chance to win that... tip; you can sign up to their newsletter and just send it through to your spam filter Whistle

I signed up for a previous competition and have had one newsletter in a month - not exactly spamming you.

Also, if you do this, you wont get to see your winners notification Very Happy

Everyone needn't bother. That shirt is MINE! raspberry

by robbo277 Wed Jul 13, 2011 1:34 pm

I signed up with a different e-mail address to my registered 606v2 one. Do I have to use the same one (ie, is that how you will check to make sure that only registered members are signing up?)

I will amend the post at the top to reflect this.

You will need to register with the same email address so that it can be confirmed you are a member.

Good initiative! Anything similar in the pipeline to cater for other sports? Some sort of 'membership discount' on goods would be tasty thumbsup

Watch this space!

I was concentrating on Rugby first as that was my domain, so to speak. I have a big thing with Football coming up tomorrow (may not happen but if it does - WOW!) and I have a few irons ( Wink

)in the fire for golf, now that I have decided to promote that. Bit of elbow grease/ belief/ positive energy and anything is possible - if you have any contacts that I can deal with, please let me know.

I believe some other admins have other things on the go (YI and Fists are trying in other sports)

by Thomond Wed Jul 13, 2011 1:54 pm

That joke was terrible Hobo. Is the big thing with soccer the John Hartson interview?

Good Luck to everyone

We appreciate not everyone is an Ospreys fan but we will be offering more items in the future including Gloucester

While there might not be that many Brumbies fans on here, a jersey signed by Rocky Elsom would generate a lot of interest on here. Given that Leinster were (the last time we checked via a poll) the most supported club on the boards

I know As, It sounds like a good prize and all, but who has any room for it?!

by Cari Wed Jul 13, 2011 3:30 pm

I'd rather win a Tommy than the whole Glaws team. I don't know any of their players...

Jim Hamilton, Cariadwr, I think you liked him at one time? heart

by **Fists of Fury** Wed Jul 13, 2011 3:46 pm

Fantastic news that this has been sorted, and big thanks to Kooga.

I RT'd your Twitter announcement to my huge following of 66 people, hope it helps!

by Impossible Standards Wed Jul 13, 2011 4:29 pm

Good move for Kooga this, a bit of viral marketing for them and they can target a rugby specific audience with promotions, events etc. As long as Kooga ads don't appear all over the forum or text links on specific words.

In my experience everyone loves free stash though! I've signed up.

I registered. I'd take any shirt possible. Go nicely in my memorabilia room that the wife doesn't know I'm having.

by **Enforcer** Wed Jul 13, 2011 4:39 pm

Impossible, re the text links I have no idea how to do that and it is one of my pet hates on other sites!

Does he play for Glos now? I'm not familiar with the English prem cause I don't have Sky. Jimbo I would....but if the prize is the whole team I can't pick him out can I? They'd all have to turn up!

by Shifty Wed Jul 13, 2011 7:01 pm

Well done Hobo. I have no complaints at all, I love Kooga merchandise heart

I'm an Ospreys season ticket holder, and have 3 Home jerseys, 2 training tops and an away top too from last season kits, as well as some older ones, lol.
The great thing is I can actually fit into a Kooga XL top!

Ive got the Cardiff Blues, home and away, last seasons kit by Canterbury and the Ospreys Kooga one is far better quality, looks nicer, and fits much better too.
I haven't tried the Scarlets kit... I assume it would be too tight around the crotch laughing
