I was asked to promote it (not by the club of course, as if they would utilise their online fan base....)
Couldn't bring myself to do it. Soon as I seen the word Haka I cringed.

the kiwi's will all support us now, cos we are the 1st team with a haka. thats 3.5 million (less non blue brits) new fans(tongue is in cheek here).
i had to say it was fantastic to the nz news crew or all my mates over there wouldn't be seeing me on their national news tonight.

which is why kipper got all the publicity, as they said it was a competition on kipper.
Wrong, as usual
Search Everton Haka on google. First listing is a Liverpool forum, they all find great joy from this.
One comment "That is some seriously cheap marketing for a Premiership club...", another "cheap?! they have baloons... pink baloons"
The clubs marketing is pathetic.

they announced it as "a competition on bluekipper to write a Haka" thats what the guy with the permatan and jet black hair said on the mic (wonder what dye he uses).
as for r/s, they sell athletico madrid shirts in their shop, and no doubt spain ones as well.

Thing is though Reidy, Kipper get paid, and paid very well by the club so am not surprised that they promote when requested. We wouldn't have got a thing if we promoted it, so that had nothing to do with it.
As I said, I wasn't contacted by the club - it was Mere PR - who seem to think they are eligible for free advertising, wonder how far they get when they ring the Liverpool Echo and make the same request...

Who on Earth would want that promoted? It's like something St Helens rugby club would knock together to boost attendance before a bank holiday clash with the Catalan Dragons: "Ey up, come and see t'Haka and a monster truck race. It'll be flamin' grand I tell thee".

I think it's Wigan for the bank holiday clash, and I could swear that you're talking with a Yorkshire accent there, Dave.
Im taking a hammering here from my kopite brother on MSN. Sad, sad day.

Say something about Alonso and Johnson, and dont forget to mention the number 19.
Really, wtf was the club thinking? Why? We could've just hired a band to do a fanfare or something.

Oh yeah, I think you're right. No need even for t'Saints to bring the Haka in.
That's my rugby league accent, btw...generic oop north effort...
Could as well have sent a delegation to Amsterdam last Saturday. It was the famous 'Pink Saturday' on the Amsterdam canals.

We need to look past the poor marketing angle and look for the positive side !!!
Surely all we need to do now with that long line of top class potential Everton players lining up at Finch Farm for medicals is for Davey M to show them this video and throw them the line that we are the only prem club in the country with a Haka and they will surely sign up!
This is warming up to be the best pre season / transfer window ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!

it wasn't quite as bad as i'd expected, but that could be because my expectations were so low 
- still like the shirt though (apart from the pink badge, of course )
