Most tinpot thing I ever heard. (tinpot thread)

[Cheese & Biscuits]

It is very tinpot but I do admire clubs trying something different.

 

[FGRJC]

We're doing a lot to attract future fans, which I think is great!

This will take some beating

Forest Green Rovers, the world’s first vegan football club, has beaten the likes of Liverpool and Manchester United to become the first on the planet to launch its own trading card game.

Currently top of the National League, the club has created FGR Club Clash, its very own table top trading card contest, featuring all of the club’s players and management, alongside bespoke match cards.

FGR Club Clash gives fans the chance to pit their favourite players in tactical battles against their friends and family.

Dale Vince, FGR chairman, said: “Top Trumps style card games like this are hugely popular with fans of all ages - and creating our own FGR version is really quite special.

“It’s a beautifully designed, really well thought through, and hugely playable game - we think our fans will love it – and who knows, it could well start a trend.”

Forest Green has captured the headlines on more than one occasion in recent years. In 2010, FGR announced it was removing red meat from its menu, becoming an all-vegetarian outfit – and then became the world’s first vegan football club in 2015, winning plaudits from Paul McCartney amongst others.

Dale continued: “Football is a relatively new frontier for these kinds of ideas, but our aim is to change that and bring the environment into the DNA of football more generally - not just FGR.”

Forest Green Rovers will unveil the game at a special event at its home stadium, The New Lawn, at 12.30pm on Thursday 27 October. It will be available from the club shop from that date, before going on sale from the club website and Atlantic Games in Stroud from Monday 31 October.

Club Clash attempts to recreate the drama of the beautiful game, as each player aims to score more goals than their opponent over the course of two halves. Goals are scored by using a combination of player cards - which have both defence and attack stats, coach cards - which give you the chance to gain an advantage, and match cards - which can change the result of the game.

Fans can get started by buying a starter pack, which include 50 cards, enough for two players to have a game straight away. They can then add to their collection by purchasing booster packs, which consist of 10 random cards from the entire set.

Launching at the end of October, there are over 80 cards to collect, with fun match cards including ‘Vegan Superpowers’, ‘the Green Devil’ and ‘Total Football’.

A starter pack costs £9.99 with booster packs on sale for £2.65.

That intro line implies that Man United and Liverpool have been striving to be the first, but FGR have beaten them.

(Plus, I remember seeing specific clubs having Top Trumps cards when I was a kid...)

Yes, not the first really, but an interesting idea

Can't help thinking it'd work better if the cards were a bit smaller.

FGR should get people on the sidelines holding up these big cards whenever they make a substitution, also make a tannoy announcement stating their card stats.

Also anyone who buys food gets a special limited edition Vegan Superpowers card.

Be a "great" way to promote their new game

 

[Pablosammy]

But vegans have always done top trumps. Comes with the diet.

And how many trees have been chopped down to make these cards, eco friendly club my fucking arse!

Who are on all these cards? Fgr legends?

It's their own version, it's called Top Lads.

They play-tested the card game at my work and though I didn't get a go it looked really good and was actually fun to play by all accounts. I said they ought to do historical players, 'Paper' Beale would be a shoo-in.

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

With fgr top trumps, can we have a 2003-2006 version with a Colin Peake joker card whereby if losing you can play your Peake card to suddenly scupper someone else so you win

Peakey is a LEGEND. Helped us DOMINATE the agm cup.

And that top trumps game looks a decent stocking filler tbf. Be a nice bit of merch to have what with it having cards with all our title romping squad on them.

Gefle IF players celebrating a win at Kalmar 1FF last night with their only away supporter who made the 700-mile round trip. Lovely stuff.

That is what you call support. Kudos to him.

The kind of Tinpot I like - Foresta Suceava are playing Steaua Bucharest in a sell-out Romanian Cup tie tonight.

1) It's their first ever game under floodlights - they've rigged up temporary ones for the match.

2) Although the stadium could hold over 12,000 it's restricted to 6,000 due to the state of some of the teraces and barriers.

2) It's pissing down and there were plenty of puddles pre-match. Steaua coach, Lawrence Reghecampf, said (forgive the translation):

"It will be a difficult match with Foresta taking account of the pitch, because we understand that it is raining and it is not very good. It will be ???????? if it rains hard. The land will be drenched and after 15 minutes will be a morass. It will be a battle game in which the teams will not be able to build. Who will adapt better to these conditions will win. Anything could happen. There would be a disaster if we lost, but I do not think that far. "

3) Currently 0 - 0 (I think) in the first half.

Update Steaua score in the 8th minute 0 - 1

Further update Suceava equalise in the 17th minute - Go Foresta.

Update Half-Time 1 - 1 (Live Stream on Bet 365 but I can't be arsed to sign up)

Update - early goal for Steaua in the second half

Final Update - finished 2 - 1 to Steaua.

Training last night was interesting.

I quite like the idea. A bit of off the wall thinking. But couldn't they have employed a graphic designer to make the cards look professional ? Those look shit.
