Green & Gold..
« on: January 30, 2010, 10:32:03 pm »
Apologies if no one agres with this, and delete if you feel appropriate mods.

As most of us know Manchester United fans are wearing Green & Gold Scarves etc to show the support to remove the owners. Now as people will say, just the simple wearing of Green & Gold wont get rid of the owners, but as wearing anything it shows support.. Every game I've watched since they have started doing it the commentators etc have mentioned it.

Now, Just a preposal but why don't we, the fans organise something like this through SOS or just Word of mouth. Obviously Red & White wouldn't work but just stand out colours or something whatever is the general concencous, as I feel it would be a good way of getting the message across. Banners obviously show something but unfortunately you can't hold them up for the whole match and only get any air time towards the start of the game. Scarfs or standout clothing etc which is worn throughout the whole match will be seen around the outside the ground throughout weeks etc.

Yes, people will say 'They copied United' etc. But the more that people talk about it, the more its publised and the more people know about it etc.

Thoughts?

The only thing we could do to copy the likes of the mancs would be to implement blue and white.  But considering our colors mean much more to us than to the mancs, and considering what blue means to us now, it wouldn't be a very good idea.

I actually think that if we wore blue and people know what it means to us now, the it can only show the strength of feelings held by those wearing blue.


An added bonus would be to piss off the bitters too

If it was something that many agreed to, and many felt was a good idea, then I wouldn't see a problem with it.  It would definitely be an attention getter.  I just didn't think anyone would want to do it.

The thing is about copying them though. Who cares if its another effort to get rid of our owners?

 I'd displace a little pride by copying them if we could get shut of the Yanks.

Exactly. Imo it makes no difference, in fact I believe it would help our cause tremendously if fans from all clubs stood up and made a point against LBO's. The FA, media & fans generally need to wake up.

They have a specific reason for wearing green and yellow - Newton Heath. It also has some resonance because the club wore it in the nineties:



I can't see the point for us, it's not going to be a big story (the Mancs have been there first) and there's no reason for it.

Yeh I know about the Newton Heath think, although it has no resonance with us if we all wore something then it would show us as united possibly?

Like I said though only an idea.

Don't know about going down the colours route, there must be other stuff we could do that would get the media's attention though. Thought the blimp idea was cracking, so hopefully that will come off eventually.

Did you ever see Ling's Cars on Dragons' Den? Big into publicity stunts, like parking a guided missile truck off the side of the motorway.



It's just something a bit different to grab the imagination because I'm not sure that if we did our own version of green & gold we'd would get much coverage - once the press has seen something they want to move onto something else instead of re-doing essentially the same story.

I can fully understand problems of copycat campaigns.

The FSF could really do with taking a lead on this so it is'nt tied to any specific club. There are so many clubs from all divisions who are either close to or in administration-the FA have been almost criminally negligent in their admin of the game and it is the FANS who must find a way to act in a uniform manner.

Where is the leadership.

Spot on and seems the Glaziers are set to make money from it .... they are bringing out a load of merchandise based on them colors and labeling them as part of their new classic/their roots  range or along those lines and will say they were already in production before the fans started the campaign ....  well so ive read in todays Sunday Mirror { sorry about the source }
