Done before?

[It's Jimmy Corkhill]

So, in the spirit of Smashie and Nicey after their shift to Whisper FM's nightshift show, "Let's Rock!".

A big hello to all you truckers out there.........

deep breath....and go again lads

[horne]

A very rough unfinished concept, based on an idea by Roy a few weeks back....






Not sure how to finish it though.  I think it'd probably look best with the different people all turned into caricatures or cartoons....but thats well beyond my ability.  If anyone wants to try and do something with the basic idea, please go ahead.

how about filling the background of the bottom one with all the trophies theyve won

[horne]

its amazing to think that our left back,who will never score a goal for us or even kick a ball for us,has a salary that is only 10k a week less than the whole team put together.Incredible

This is something eye-catching and do-able.  If the SoS logo could be 100 ft high on a building in a few choice places.

Shameless bump

You can't project an image onto a building without the permission of the building owners. However, I wonder if you can project an image onto water, as in that Greenpeace photo, without legal ramifications?

Some grotty little nightclub near my place used to do it all the time so I don't think it's too difficult to do although I'm not sure exactly what equipment they were using.

But as it was a small place I'm assuimng they weren't using expensive equipment in order to do it

Did FHM get permission off the Houses of Parliament to project a scantily clad Gayle Porter on to the side, and if not what were the repercussions?

[No666]

In the sky near Anfield for an evening kick-off? Or on the Mersey with the press primed?

My daughter was involved with La Princess and some big event stuff - I'll see if I can tap into her contacts and start sussing it out (cost etc) if the general view is that it's worthwhile. I volunteered to help out on savelfc but have heard nothing back so I'm assuming all existing ventures are well-covered with willing bodies.

Not sure but that was back in 1999.

However Chrisitan Aid did a similar thing recently without any trouble:

[shanklyboy]

We did look at the 'projected image' when we first started......fantastic idea in my opinion.
Especially for a night game at Anfield.

I think Kit said we needed special permission to do it.

There are a number of possible sites around Anfield and I could have sworn I posted them on here. I can't find them in any of the threads so maybe I didn't. I'll do some digging.
I got the details of the housing association around Anfield when I went to the last march and they keep fobbing me off so I might just see if I can turn the screw a little.

See if the big spider is doing anything special too mate.

Maybe we can storm the pitch in that.....ala League of Incredible Gentlemen/Capt Nemo.

Nice swan.

Permission aside, the idea behind being mobile is that you don't get caught if you do it for a short time.


Another idea, and it's a real pipe dream, would be to get an SoS advertising board at a lower league club.  When we find out who we're playing in the Carling Cup or Fa Cup, and hopefully they're in League two and strapped for cash, we offer them a nice sum to put up a very noticeable SoS advert on the halfway line or behind a goal.

Another foot soldier reporting for duty Roy, more than happy to help wherever I can. There is one condition though, please don’t ask me to do anything arty, I’ll only let you down and embarrass myself, badly.

[Red_Isle_Chap]

Hey everyone.

Any thoughts on the letterhead idea for FS's troops that are still sending letters?

Or is it not a good idea?

[manifest]

well, it's the 27th July......and we are well past Broughton's "mid-July" for bids.

Must be about time to ask him what's been going on....haven't heard a peep from him. Perhaps my union might consider a swift missive?

Of course, it is the kind of question that in all honesty we may not want the answer to, because what if there are no bids, and Torres has probably been asking this very question, the outlook could be grim. But we need to know the basic truths, if not all the details. In a way, boughtin did a nice piece of evasion...there was a ton of pressure, he said bids by mid-july, and that took the energy out of much of the pressure.

I think that the lull in the wide pressure, from those not committed to the actions like SaveLFC, is because the club was up for sale, and looked like there was genuine intent for it to happen. Sale goes through, what is the point in going after Hicks etc. now. Whether it is right or not, the next burst/growth of resistance will be likely to occur when the next wave of info hits.....I think this guerrilla war that has been waged for several years now has to 'go with the flow" to some extent...to catch the wave when it comes, as Royhendo did at the end of the season to great effect, and SOS had done in the early days.

The next wave will be either the club is sold.....
or there are no buyers/Hicks won't sell and then Torres becomes a huge issue. He may be the next point of leverage....though it sickens me to think what it means for him to be so.

I don't mean that work that is ongoing should stop. Rather that sometimes we have to take which waves we are given to ride. I guess I am saying that the next layer of currently unaffected fans may not be reachable until the next layer of the crisis dawns on them. But be ready to lead when the crisis does hit.

'Scuse, just thinking out loud.

Good points there mate.
'Riding the wave' is something we've been conscious of from day one.
Joe Cole signing and the subsequent issues on R.A.W.K have certainly reinforced how fragile that wave is.
It shouldn't be a surprise though as it's been that way for years.
As soon as the team does well the ownership threads die a death.

So that particular barometer has been going up and down like that for years.
There are two ways to go about it with The Campaign. Wait in the shallows until the next big breaker comes along and we either ride it to shore or fall off after a second, depending on if it's good or bad news.

Or we get our own big wave machine out and create our own.
That way we are not dependant on the vagaries of good or bad news....we just carry on regardless.

It has definately got to the point where we have to start creating the waves, G&H are playing for time hoping that global finances pickup and they can find a buyer. The danger with that scenario is though that things don't pickup anytime soon the current interest payments of 110,000 plus per day sink our club into oblivion.

We need to start thinking of ways to make waves right at the top of RBS and as RBS was bailed out by the last government and is infact owned by the taxpayer then perhaps the ordinary taxpayer needs to be informed that a bank owned by them is complicit in helping to promote daylight robbery to line the pockets of two yankee shysters.

If/when Torres goes, how long before threads from here make their way to the FOOTBALL board?

I'll guess 1 minute

Quick update:
http://www.lonestarball.com/2010/7/14/1569641/f-tom-hicks

An opportunity there.

[MichaelA]

That is a tremendous concept - if it was reworked as an official looking press release then I think the media would run with it. It's smart and witty and also brutally reveals the size of the problems facing the club.

 

[royhendo]

Do we have any press release templates? I've never done one but I'd be delighted to give it a go.

I'm sure someone on here can find a template or C&P something they have received from a club for a new signing. Want to start something off in writers forum roy?

The trick is to actually get it onto the desks of journalists who would use it in the right manner.

[royhendo]

Indeed mate - I tried that yesterday (spent a couple of hours on it worldwide) and got 2 bites in Texas.

But we'll keep at it. If you guys can advise on how to get that leverage with the journos, it'd be appreciated. I have a magazine in process that was gonna be for that purpose, but this would work better I think.

[Joe_Singh]

Do we have any press release templates? I've never done one but I'd be delighted to give it a go.

I think we should use the Press Release format as an e mail we can forward to friends and get them to forward to fellow fans.

Basically it would be an e mail with simple facts to make people sit up and notice.

[royhendo]

Have asked a couple of people for help.

[Ycuzz]

Gahrgle!

I must still be in holiday mode, (got back a few days ago).

And first now I see the Campaign Forum. *slaps forehead*

Gonna do some reading and see what/where/how I can help.

PM, bump, poke me, whatever with things needed to do.

If you're getting called a knobhead, make sure you report it to the mods. They're trying to moderate it in an even-handed way and you can bet your bottom dollar people are doing that to your posts.

Meanwhile, there's nowt you can do but prepare for the next wave of outrage mate.

[hitman89762000]

Apologies if its already been suggested but has anyone thought about paying for a advertizement in the mirror  or whoever ala those press releases B.A. did to their customers during the cabin crew strike? could get aldo or karen gill or whoever to write it publicising the problems and calling out rbs etc? Or would it be too expensive?

Stuff like that is ongoing mate...no stone unturned and all that......and yes it is expensive.
