An idea for The Jigster - pre game star!

Post: # 1530260Post saintspremiers »

I reckon the club should get our very own Jigster on the ground and broadcast on the big screen for a few home games to help build that "loved" feeling and re-connect that our club is trying to embrace.

If the club is really serious about engaging with the fan base, what better way than using a diehard fan as the tool.

Would make it very real and genuine.

Not sure what he could do - but he has the type of persona to do something!

Now, now, sp, no need for that.

What a great idea SP !
I can just see him pleading to those supporters that say they are Saints fans but don't sign up.
Gotta be worth some memberships I reckon. There has to be some supporters with a conscience.
Advertising passion... can't be a bad thing. Seems to work for the filth.
If we're going to make 55k members we need to look in every nook and cranny and the Jigster is part of that.
Contact the club and run it past them.

Could be a Saints version of Dancen Homer. Dress up, and break out some moves to Baby Elephant Walk. :D

Maybe he could don a halo when it looks like we're going to win (a la the gold jacket)

I'm all for the Jiggster to become one of the more iconic St.Kilda supporters. He has always looked a very staunch and proud Sainter in match photographs or on TV whenever they have cut to a shot of him in the crowd. He seems to be garnering some cult status. Perhaps #1 ticket holder will be in order once he becomes a celebrity.
