Seems like this is a hot topic on CCMB, some poster (Doctor Evil ;) ) seems to be driving matters over there..........momentum.
Not KCB...........not harming our promotion drive......just getting some balance and more choice back into matters!!

I would love to get involved in this and have an idea to help get noticed
How about organising a game over sloper road during a game , maybe forest or Bolton and everybody wearing blue with flags ,scarfs and any other blue merchandise , everybody singing as loud as possible and boycotting a game getting media attention hopefully on a game shown on sky ? Would make a big statement if we could get enough blues to attend especially if there's huge gaps in the stands ? Maybe once city are allready up as to not distract the players ?

See that's a crap idea lets not support our team when they really need it.

Happy we are finally doing something lets keep this momentum going.

However i don't agree with prizes. the message boards represent less than 10% of our fan base, this was shown on Blue tuesday. these prizes would not get media attention and most people in stadium will not be aware.

Instead we should all chip in to buy a few thousand blue scarfs in wholesale and hand them out for free or even sell them for as little as £1 to cover our cost so we can buy more and more.

wouldnt it be better if the games we are on sky were the games that we got as much blue in the crowd as possible? I don't mind either way though, any action is better than no action! :ayatollah:

I think raising money for flags etc. would be much more worth while than raising money for prizes.

Imagine blue flags all over the stadium, they would certainly stand out more than scarves.

I am willing to back any idea to save the blue. :ayatollah:

Yes i agree the money should go towards flags, i just realized blue scarfs might not be best as the weather is getting warmer, how about we buy hundreds of little flags to hand out before games, like we had for the fa cup final, these should be cheap to buy in wholesale ?

Quit with your pathetic snide remarks towards people then in threads and you won't be met with the same attitude you cock.

Second the club are giving away a season ticket if you wear a scalf not if you wear red. An there will be nowhere near 20k people wearing a scalf. Not because its red not because its blue it will be because they just won't want to wear a scalf.


Same principle.

So you can stick your little sums up your ass because for all you know everybody could turn up wearing pink.


Thats not going to happen is it? Yet another attempt at you to move away from the point made to try and save some face. What a joke.

I was asking a simple question to somebody else who answered it like a normal person without being a cocky tw*t. If you have this attitude towards things maybe you shouldn't get involved because your more then likely going to f**k things up.


Not at all. Your attitude in other threads towards me has been bad so I met you with the same ****ish response okay. When people like Annis, Dando, 2B2H have decent debate I'll approach it with the same respective manner but when you got tits like yourself jumping on every thread being a snide idiot then what do you expect back?

You are simply crying now because you know im right. Cry me a river.

Agree with both here. Plus more will be likely to wave them around than hold a scarf up. Most put the scarf around them which wouldn't look as good as thousands waving blue flags. :ayatollah:

Good luck to you but personally I don;t see the point as don't believe there will be many red scarfs at future games and don't believe that the marketing of red shirts abroad will be aided or harmed whether red or blue scarfs or shirts are worn by the fans in the ground itself. Evidently Tan must have thought it would as why else would he have forked out £250K on free scarfs but can't see it making any difference myself.

:lol: He didnt spend 250k on them if he ordered 20k scarfs even in the club shop at a fiver each it would only be 100k
Are you saying each scarf cost him £12.50 :lol:
I'd be surprised if he spent more than 50p per scarf which would be 10k and to be honest an order like that at this stage of a season would have company's fighting over it to secure the work so were probably cheaper !!

This sounds like a great idea saddles if it's not a wind up!
But somethings got to change. I'm still shocked by what i saw last night!

Let's hope you can get it off the ground, and not be a flop like KCB was.
I've already renewed (against my better judgment) But i'm right behind you. :ayatollah:

Typo was meant to be £25K and not £250K which was the figure the Echo quoted

Very good point but what happens when the nicer weather starts, people won't be wearing scarves then.

We need to find the perfect solution before splashing out any money.

What numbers are we talking here?
How many scarves?
How many flags?

Would we want our old blue badge on there or just blue and white squares or something?

I got some time on my hands and wouldn't mind getting some quotes just to see roughly how much would need raising.
