SANFL is stuffed, can't get people to come to matches, clubs need to do different things
Club does "something different" and it's terrible and cringeworthy
If it happens to get 1 extra person to the game, good on CDFC

I only hate it because I'm an ardent republican. And I'm a middle-aged bloke who doesn't buy into the Royal fantasy - which is probably like a large part of the SANFL audience.
And...living and working out this way, I know that the community still has a massive interest in the Royal Family as there are lots of people talking about it, although mostly older people. I've heard lots of people talk about their plans to watch it. Including my effing mother in law. amp;
Recently, I was involved in the visit of a relatively minor Royal and there was lots and lots of interest from local.
As for the club's history, I don't understand Michael's point in the initial post about "given the club's history". Sadly (for me), it's entirely appropriate to try this sort of marketing. The club's English roots are very well known and still very obvious (including in the soccer chants that we've been derided for for most of our history, but I note some Crows supporters are now using).

Agree mate.
I love the fact our club is proud of its British roots.
Having a small marketing background I would suggest that the marketing plan behind the idea was more around having the 'funny' images of Roy and Trent rather than the actual 'royal wedding itself'
I'm guessing the marketing department are hoping the images of Trent and Roy would been seen for its comedy value and then shared largely amongst the Facebook community creating awareness that Centrals were playing at home on the day. More shares, like, comments plays with the algorithm increasing the engagement in the clubs posts.
