Title: Red Army, Loud and Proud, the campaign
Post by: RobertT on Monday, October 3, 2005, 19:25:57
Well, it's beginning to take shape.

Club were very positive and have done as much as they could given no budget to work with.

Should be released in the Adver on Wednesday, but there will be a few prizes on offer from the club for the Red theme and the Loud and Proud fans in the ground.

We'll have 1500 balloons to give out (he says hinting at Royal Mail that they might like to give them to me in tomorrows post before I begin to panic).  38 Beach Balls!

Steel band outside looks a goer

Club to help push the PR angle and will be taking photos on the day for future programmes.

And just because I don't have enough to do, we might be seeing this as a more than a one game effort!!!  Bristol City anyone?

So come, Red, Red, Red.  Get thinking, get creating.

ps, in the event that friends refuse to go, simply chain them to you using Ann Summer Red Fluffy Handcuffs!

Even a 1pm kick off still allows 2 hours of pre game drinking, how can you turn that down Yeovil?

Just fall out of bed and come in your favourite Red PJ's

Good stuff RobertT.

Sopme people may scorn, but if Christian Roberts kicking a few balls into the town end can get us going the beach balls should be good!

We've just found a site where we can order 100 red and white beach balls for just over a quid each.

The current stock we got our hands on appear to be Oringina branded!!!! but it's a bit of fun.

Well, if anyone is moved to do so then I will be the one with lots of balloons and beach balls in my control.  Likely to be in Winners from 10.30am blowing some up and then around the TE/Arkells corner.

I wouldn't say too much money is required, otherwise I run the risk of profiting! which is not the idea.  Just trying to spark other people into action, so they could always help by getting their own stock as well of red items if that is the way they want to go.

Should people provide any funds though, make it no more than a fiver and it's all unoffical of course (as I'm not a registered charity!).  I'll make sure any left over in the even of profit is used to buy things for the City match!!

The hard work is far from over.  The real hard work is everyone doing their little bit and joining in the fun.  I can get the publicity, buy some balloons, hope the beach ball order arrives on Friday etc, but if nobody turns up in cheery Red mood then...well, lets not dissapoint.

Devlin promised me (you reading Mark!) that the members of the Board who attend this weekend would wear read wigs!

I reminded him that the club shop had some and let Sandy know (who seemed a little less enthusiastic about the prospect) that she could go for one of those shiney ones, sort of tinsel.

Devlin mentioned about getting Wee Willie to join in as well, so not sure if that meant we'd be seeing him at the game. :shock:

There was even some joking about Iffy wearing one, now that would be great to see.

Erm, we've had a delivery hitch!  Balloons all arrived in good time, beach balls have reached British Delivery nightmare state (i.e a courier has them, nobody is allowed to know which courier though, the company I ordered from won't say if it's expected today or Monday!) Grrrrrrrrrr.

10 beach balls were pre purchased, and if anyone is desperate for beach ball fun, I'm sure there must be some somewhere, at home even.

please note, we did have one person say they would puncture them!
