If the "Orange Revolution" was properly organised, and preliminary talks are under way would you support it?

Be interesting to get your thoughts.

The colour is set, the idea is set just need to know if you'd be prepared to do your thing, orange style.

I must stress this isn't me getting above my station, I will be getting a bit of backing.

If you haven't heard about this "revolution" basically it's an organised "visual" demo. We're not promoting "sack the board" chants or meeting outside the back of the Arkells baying for blood, we're interested in showing the board that we, the ordinary supporters support the Fans Consortium, it's time for a change, and the future's bright...

Thoughts?

Yes probably though im likely to forget.

i just keep getting a feeling you are taking the piss with this one

if anything actually happened then yes

Yeovil what if you couldn't forget, lets say you'd be reminded, it'd kinda of be impossible to not get your hands on something orange, if you wanted to show your support.

And Macca, it's not a piss take - honest.  It's just going to be a way of showing Wee Willie, Mike D and other board members that we support the Fans Consortium.

It's also be a way of showing Martin S that we don't appreciate being kept in the dark over club matters.

Also if you do vote no could you let me know why, either on this thread or pm me.  Cheers.

mate you could remind me all you like but Rovers will be a very drunken one for me :D

The whole orange thing reminds me of those wanky theme days you get in tossy office jobs. Can't we just make a Diamandis effigy and hit it with shoes or something? That one that the Man U fans did of that Glazier chap was truly fucking awful, I'm sure we could make one worse.

Trying to make it a little less intimidating Spacey, something that an old boy and a young person may support.  Burning effigies sounds a little bit too much like hard work.

I have a horribly bright orange miami university soemthing or other shirt.

It would be perfect, but I'd fear I'd wear it and no one else would wear orange and I'd end up looking like a plank...

Hehe, I couldn't be arsed to make an effigy let alone make a dick of myself burning one. Maybe I'll just eat some red Leicester to show my support, that's orange despite it's misleading name.

I've got my green wig and permatan at the ready

Like I said to YR hopefully we will be able to provide something orange for you so you don't have to feel like a cock.

That or just wear a jumper to hide it, in case it is just me on me own.

I voted no Jan. Not because I wouldn't support it, just don't think it's very workable. Say, for example, 500 people went along with the idea then they'd be dotted around the ground and I can't see it making any kind of impact. If they were all in one part of the ground, maybe, but that'll never happen.

Added to that, being up near the away fans in the Arkells last Saturday, you can't even see the back half of the Town End. Presumably it's the same from the Nationwide.

A fuck off huge orange sheet on the bank (with a few choice words on it?) would maybe have more of an impact?

Just my thoughts though.

(orange is a shit colour too!)

I voted yes. I want to see sussex wearing this

Cheers for your thoughts Sussex.  Doesn't stop you from wearing an orange symbol (ie like people do for Rememberance Day) on your top though does it?  Doesn't have to be a sea of orange as I don't think that'd ever happen, but if say a decent percentage of fans were walking around with an orange something or other on the board would hopefully notice.  Especially if those in corporate hospitality worn something with Luggy's favourite colour on.

as a catholic, i'm not sure i'm allowed to wear orange.

:shock: I didn't even think about that, I'm a catholic too!!!

Brilliant! Jan's subverted himself into launching the biggest pro-Paisley demo ever seen in Wiltshire! Can we all wear bowler hats as well?  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Chants of No Surrender all round then.

jan this could be good, not sure if mex would sponsor something but I would be happy to buy some orange t shirts etc, sure other people would as well.

Im up for the Orange idea. As has been stated, unless you can perhaps get a hard core in one area wearing orange(or big fuck off  sheet painted orange with some words or other going over the town end) and people dolling out orange ribbons or something pre-match then why(other than pub time,thinking of the dolling outer's, but that can be overcome if you get right people in the right places at the right time in certain places) cant it work?

I think Luggy would have a giggle, but on a serious note, we need to be carefull not to alienate luggy in that we dont want to  make him unconfortable with his incumbent employers, whilst he tries to understand the politics that exist beteween said incumbent board and the fans, and trying to get us out of this god awefull division we find ourselves in.

Cheers,
millom

I'm going to bring a orange flute and burn an orange effigy of the pope to show my support for the UDA, sorry,  the consortium

I don't think getting a shit load of orange stuff around the ground is going to be a problem as I'm guessing Jan is posting on more than a whim based on his responses to people like Yeovil.

Don't worry Yeovil, I'll be drunk as well but I'm sure I can attack you with some orange hairspray or something before you enter the ground.  Just be sure not to open your eyes.

Orange sheet with a bit of white wording would be good and cheap if you can find the material.  Turn up in advance with the flag gang and I'm sure you'll be able to get it in.

And now we have our very own King Billy marching back into town behind the Orange Order. :king:

I'm a quater Catholic Priest. So despite never being to a catholic church service (or infact any church service apart from a wedding and a funeral or 2) I'm about a bigillion times more catholic than all of you.

I wonder if that means I can fight vampires? Is Diamandis actually a vampire? If so, does he keep poor Willie locked away, barely alive, so he can feed off him each night?

These are all very important questions which need answering.

I reckon we shoukd have orange ribbons lie the AIDS red ones....handed out for a bonus 50p as you join the Trust.

AIDS and this board, two of the world's greatest perils.
