Classic. Ben seems a nice enough bloke but fuck me they are a bit desperate at SN1 arent they.There cant be many clubs where the sales and marketing manager is asked to make an impassioned plea for us to "support the team" Does anyone know if he even supported Swindon before he got his current job?Who knows he might answer this himself instead of all the lurking :D Title: Ben Lamberts Rallying call Post by: lebowski on Friday, November 30, 2007, 13:41:07 what on earth are you talking about?
Title: Ben Lamberts Rallying call Post by: Power to people on Friday, November 30, 2007, 13:41:51 I thought it was funny, fan's don't trust Holt, Starnes has gone into hiding, Diamandis would probably be too scared, Gray ..well enough said
So the only person they can come up with is Ben - Mike's son in law - to try and stop people protesting Next thing you know they will be having the cleaner doing the PR's for them :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: Title: Ben Lamberts Rallying call Post by: dell boy on Friday, November 30, 2007, 13:42:22 Quote from: "lebowski" what on earth are you talking about?

Smacks of desperation from above to me.

Quote At the end of another momentous week in Town's history, the club's sales and marketing manager BEN LAMBERT. left, makes an impassioned plea to supporters ahead of tomorrow's game "SO Paul Sturrock has gone. After 12 months in charge the opportunity to return to Plymouth Argyle - a club with whom he enjoyed great success and always regretted leaving - was too great an opportunity to turn down. I have nothing but respect for Paul Sturrock and wish him the very best of luck. advertisement Nobody here wanted him to leave, and we are all bitterly disappointed at his decision. But that's football. The chain of events that started with Martin Allen leaving the Franchise at the end of last season has finally caught up with Swindon Town. I am writing this with the knowledge that, when the Andrew Fitton-led consortium takes control of the club, he is likely to make changes to the managerial structure that will result in the majority of the management team, myself included, moving on to pastures new. So I am writing this not with self-preservation or self-interest in mind, but as someone who has a genuine affection and passion for this football club. There is a section of the fan base that will, as they did when Dennis Wise departed, blame the board for Paul's departure. The simple truth is, however, that, embargo or no embargo, CVA or no CVA, the pull of Plymouth would always have lured Luggy' back to Devon. The board of Swindon Town and the club's staff have worked tirelessly for months under very trying circumstances. Of course, mistakes have been made. But we are only human and everyone connected to the club are 100 per cent committed to keeping the club afloat and providing the team with the resources they need to push on towards one of those elusive play-off positions and the possibility of Championship football next season. Now is not the time for recriminations. With the takeover likely to complete this week or early next, now is the time for all Swindon Town fans to get behind David Byrne and Ady Williams, and show their support for the 11 players that the duo will pick to take on Forest Green Rovers tomorrow. I would ask all Swindon Town fans to turn out in force on Saturday and help cheer the lads into round three of the FA Cup. The following week sees two tricky away games at Carlisle and Southend, before Brighton and Hartlepool visit the County Ground prior to Christmas. It's vitally important that we pick up as many points as possible so that we don't lose ground. Thoughts now turn to Paul's long-term successor. The search has already begun for the right man to lead Swindon Town into 2008 and beyond. The club needs stability on and off the pitch, so let's pull together and begin with a victory this weekend. " Title: Ben Lamberts Rallying call Post by: Tails on Friday, November 30, 2007, 13:42:41 Lamberts issued a rallying cry on the adver site....
To be fair to him he's actually a really nice guy and he's only trying his best. I don't blame him for putting out an article like that but I don't think he'll get much success at all. Title: Ben Lamberts Rallying call Post by: lebowski on Friday, November 30, 2007, 13:43:39 is it just me or is there an echo in here?
thank you, one and all. Title: Ben Lamberts Rallying call Post by: Peter Venkman on Friday, November 30, 2007, 13:43:55 I think it is a very interesting comment actually, especially as he is about to lose his job because of the takeover.

Title: Ben Lamberts Rallying call Post by: Tails on Friday, November 30, 2007, 16:12:07 Well Ben and Diamandis will be son in law/father in law soon I think??
Title: Ben Lamberts Rallying call Post by: lebowski on Friday, November 30, 2007, 16:14:25 i think he already is family.
anyway, should we expect a further rallying cry from sarah mildenhall tomorrow? maybe it will be the miserable bloke from the ticket office? Title: Ben Lamberts Rallying call Post by: Tails on Friday, November 30, 2007, 16:16:25 Why would he want more people to turn up? Then he'd have more work to do!!

Title: Ben Lamberts Rallying call Post by: Reg Smeeton on Friday, November 30, 2007, 16:27:57 I don't personally know Lambert, but it seems to me that Sales and Marketing, is run at sub non league standards......in Greece nepotism is not something frowned upon.
Lambert needs to go along with the rest....of anything approaching management. Title: Ben Lamberts Rallying call Post by: Tails on Friday, November 30, 2007, 16:30:27 That's a bit harsh Reg, Lambert has done quite a good job IMO.

I would disagree looking at the number of empty advertising boards around the CG and the fact that the Townend hasn't even got a sponsor this season....and of course the clubs (lack of) PR like the Brunel fiasco etc. He may be a nice bloke but IMO he is way out of his depth and utterly useless at managing the Marketing department. Title: Ben Lamberts Rallying call Post by: McLovin on Friday, November 30, 2007, 16:33:44 I've never seen so many empty hoardings around the ground, and our kit sponsorship deal is laughable.

Title: Ben Lamberts Rallying call Post by: ronnie21 on Friday, November 30, 2007, 16:41:06 Lambert is pretty good at marketing cd's and dvd's if I remember correctly! Perhaps that experience will help him sell a few more adverts around the ground, bring in more match day sponsors etc. Oh, I almost forgot, he will be gone soon won't he?

Quote Jamie I have supported the Town for 6 years. The first home game I went to was Sam Parkin’s hatrick v Barnsley at the start of the 2002-2003 season and, apart from when I was living abroad, I have been a regular ever since… Cheers Ben :mrgreen: Title: Ben Lamberts Rallying call Post by: DiV on Friday, November 30, 2007, 20:20:02 who gives a toss what ben lambert thinks, in the grand scheme of things he's a nobody.
Title: Ben Lamberts Rallying call Post by: lebowski on Friday, November 30, 2007, 20:32:54 i dont have a problem with him being a fan or not, if he is then good on him.
he has a huge conflict of interest here, and for that reason alone he should not be commenting. i suppose though, there are a lot of people out there who don't know his family ties. good attempt by the club but he's just not important enough to have any real impact on what will happen tomorrow. Title: Ben Lamberts Rallying call Post by: sonic youth on Friday, November 30, 2007, 20:34:36 bless him.

Did he get Sandy to work it out for him? Title: Ben Lamberts Rallying call Post by: chalkies_shorts on Saturday, December 1, 2007, 10:32:00 Well he's not much of a marketing manager is he. He's missing a great big bloody trick today. What he should be saying is come to Town's last game and don't forget to buy the commemorative programme at £10. You can also buy a piece of the pitch afterwards. Want a tunstile - wait a week. Father in law punch bags - now there's a seller.
