Following last weeks blog regarding Bury F.C’s failure to score a single goal at Gigg Lane this season, I regret to inform you all that this is still the case. Saturday’s 0-1 defeat to Cheltenham made it 5 (YES 5!) straight home games without troubling the scorers. Cheltenham themselves looked to have caught the ‘nil’ bug until they decided to rub more salt in my footballing wounds with a 94th minute winner.

All we are singing is…

The results look like this since it the board went up:

0-3 v Bournemouth
0-2 v West Brom
0-1 v Grimsby
0-2 v Accrington Stanley
0-1 v Cheltenham

Next installment will be 26th September v Lincoln City…

I like to think of myself as not too superstitious. With the exception of sporting events that is. If anything can bring out the voodoo in me it’s this. This is why I’m starting to think that the new cuckoodesign.com advertising board at Bury F.C’s Gigg Lane ground is a bit of a jinx.

All we are singing is...

Since the dear old board went up the Shakers have gone from promotion certainties to relegation fodder, have lost all their home league games and not managed a single goal in front of the board! The results look like this since it went up:

0-3 v Bournemouth
0-2 v West Brom
0-1 v Grimsby
0-2 v Accrington Stanley

Can the Shakers get a goal in from of the cuckoodesign.com board? Watch this space for Saturday’s result v Cheltenham.

Cuckoo Design made it’s debut appearance live on Sky Sports last Tuesday. See if you can ‘Spot the board’ during the Bury v West Brom match below. As part of our 125 partnership deal with The Shakers we’ll have a pitch side advertising board throughout the 2009-10 season.

Unfortunately Bury were knocked out of the Carling Cup at the first hurdle 2-0. This was due to a number of factors; West Brom’s obviously higher level of pace, power and skill and the fact that a great big pink arrow kept getting into the Shakers way.

Despite a strict no advertising policy, Cuckoo managed to sneak the cuckoodesign.com banner onto the BBC website last weekend as Bury FC (sadly) got stuffed 3-0 at home against Bournemouth.

You just know that a one time cool idea will come back to haunt you some time later.

At that time, no-one had any inkling that Glitter would turn out to be a child molester – least
of all National Rail who had been using him as the face of their Young Persons Railcard
advertising campaign.

Genius!

Advertising used for the opening of Bristol Harvey Nicholls, 2008

I guess it beats paying for (sometimes prima donna -esque) models… what demands could a plasticine model make…?!

Who needs mega bucks to advertise on the side of a bus…?
