My dissertation questionnaire

[Tom]

Hello fellow Bees, my name is Tom, 20 year old student in Leeds having moved up from the capital.

I am currently writing my dissertation on how the re-branding of the football League in 04 has affected the fans of League two teams, and would appreciate it greatly if I could post a questionnaire on this great site for my fellow bees to have a go at?

Obviously I'll not be asking for any personal info, it's just about 15 general closed questions about the re-branding, from which I hope to gather some important quantitative data for my dissertation.

Cheers, Tom

You might as well post it, worst that's going to happen if mods don't like it is they'll close the thread.

no.
the worst thing that will happen is that [deleted] will post your home address and send around an artist to graffiti your student abode with the words Leeds Goat Shagging Scum on your external walls.

I remember when students were expected to do their own work for their qualatative research.

I'd post an e-mail address, or invite posters to respond to you via private message, for a better response.

otherwise, you may just get a string of dirty remarks from BigBee, some chat up lines from MarkyBee and down right sauce from Northampton Bee

1) Age


13 – 20 21 – 30 31 – 40 41 – 50 51- 65 65+


2) For how long would you consider yourself a supporter of the bees?

since birth genetically

3) The Football League needed re-branding in 2004?
No **** no. I still struggle to say 'league two' and I drink pepsi, if I am ever diagnosed with a terminal disease I will use the rest of my days to hunt down and kill those responsible and their progeny. Or maybe not. And I still drink coke.

For your reference Tom here is the initial reaction to this news on the gpg

4) Coca-Cola is an appropriate sponsor for the football league?
I have no issue with unhealthy products paying for sport. I quite like the idea.

5) The agreement with Coca-Cola to sponsor the Football League for another three years is a good thing?
I don't know enough about the deal to comment but if it involves the most amount of money possible without another ridiculous name change then fine.

6) The football League has become more commercial since the 2004 re-branding?
commercial as in exhibiting signs of being a normal trade or business whereby generating profits in a typical environment of competition with other similarly funded businesses? no :shrug: Maybe i'd accept that it's been a positive marketing move for the championship level clubs and any distribution of media focus away from the top 5 clubs in the premiership is alright by me. Means nothing for Brentford.

7) The re-branding has had an overall positive effect on the football league.
I think it's over all been neutral, maybe a positive marketing move for the championship clubs, some level of differential from the premiership

8) A rise in attendance since 04/05 can be attributed to the re-branding.
Has there been? across the divisions? What's the premiership done? I'd need to see the numbers before I'd be able to comment. I'm an accountant :computer:

9) The football league has received more exposure in the media post re-brand?
Not from where I am. Premiership news only still. I am sick of explaining the league structure to australians and have started just making stuff up.

10) Football has become more expensive to follow since the re-brand in 04/05.
I hear that certain clubs in the championship in particular are starting to take the piss yes.

11) The re-branding can be attributed to a change in cost.
Not sure what you mean :bound: If you mean that football is a business and has therefore to jump through these sort of marketing hoops then I reluctantly agree, however I think there's a danger of forgetting who your core market actually are. There is a creeping sense of disassociation with the league due in part to 'branding' and all that other marketing ****. I am fairly certain that the increase in interest at a championship level is due significantly to people getting sick of the media roadshow sportotainment that is the premiership.

12) Football has a more diverse supporter range since the re-brand in 04/05.

Not that I am aware of. I would add for no particular reason that Luton fans are of a very low intelligence.

when were you in Leeds? in my day the skyrack was the place to be! and before tey extended into the garage next door also, home via a curry house (Tarquins normally)

 

[Carri Bee Un]

about 94-99, Skyrack and the Oak were generally packed to the beams with braying rugby types but it has to be said there were a lot of fitties and many of them were very very drunk. I was a Royal Park attendee mostly. But most pubs in the area received my custom at one time or another. ahh happy days :nostalgia:

 

[B2B]

I was there 91-94, the oak in the summer was a nice place to be
