My parents live in Ramsbury, and just left me a message saying someone has put a 'Paolo, you're a legend, please don't go'
banner on PDCs house. The work of anyone here?

Incidentally great support from our end last night, I've still got no voice.

Isn't that a bit scary?

Having no voice? Nah, I reckon it will come back.

They could have at least knocked on his door and told him that!

My first thought that is was a bit "disfigured driveway" as well.

Only in so far as they can spell you're correctly....so it wasn't JedUPVC.

To you or I maybe, to a passionate football manager with a love of the limelight, maybe not.

You've got to remember Ramsbury is a small place, and everyone knows where everyone lives, plus the Italian supercars on the drive are a bit of a clue.

I've only learned this via voicemail, so I'm not in a position to confirm that the banner creator would pass muster with Lynne Truss.

It would be pretty impossible for Di Canio to keep a low profile in Ramsbury I have to say.

So what cars has he got then?

 2 rusty ice cream vans I reckon.

... and do they have low profile tyres?

Don't know as

a) I know nothing about cars, and

b) the rest of his team are always there, so not sure which are his.

I'll ask my parents once my voice returns.

That's fucked up

 Not something I'd do , but I don't think its fucked up either.

A Lamborghini suits Paolo perfectly. 'The raging bull'.

Reckon it could be the manager of Frattelo's.

 :D Thats quality if true! He'll love that!

Cringeworthy act.

I'm inclined to agree.

Certainly has plenty to lose.

Not sure "Pizza Bodin" will sell as well

Sounds like the work of Stanley!!

Not something I'd do but I don't really see the problem with it.

I bet they spelled it wrong.

I was pleasantly surprised to see all the banners at the game yesterday were spelt correctly!

It's a shame Nev didn't take his Paolo, it's Paolo! banner to the game.

I was very surprised to not see a "Please stay Paolo!" Banner!

I'll see your cringeworthy and raise you an obsessive sadcase

Meh, it harms no one and let's face it, Paolo will love it.

Certainly beats the old "horse's head on the pillow".

Exactly, as someone pointed out yesterday about the fans singing for him to stay it will have massaged his ego even more.

I just feel sorry for the person who has to sleep on a bare mattress tonight

I believe things like that will actually have some effect with Paolo as would the fans' reaction last night - Every little helps*


*Wouldn't dream of doing it myself

Wouldn't it kinda be trespassing on his property??

Totally - I doubt Paolo would mind though.

I think the last thing he would want is fans turning up at his house and erecting banners outside it.

It's one banner. He has an ego the size of Belgium (not a criticism but true nonetheless). I'm pretty sure he will have loved it.

He won't be bothered, it's miniscule compared to what Italian fans do

True.

Still waiting on this.

He will be more pissed off when he realises it was his own bed sheet off the line

His property is protected by killer chiwawas.

He's used to washing his dirty linen in public.

I was just about to light 10 flares but the security light came on............Jed gave me a lift back to Banbury though.

Like others have said, I'm sure it'll massage Paolo's ego somewhat... I'd never do it though!

isnt it actually jeremy wray's house ?

Ok, I have sought more info, it is tied on to railings on the front of the property, which are on the road, so no trespass laws have been broken, it's on a bed sheet about 5ft by 4, and as far as my dad can remember it's spelt correctly.

He did say he'll check the grammar and spelling if it's still there, but I suspect it won't be.

As far as the property goes, it was Fittons house, I assume he still owns it and rents it to the club or direct to PDC.

Get them to take a picture!

I think its an ace thing to do.

Such a cringeworthy act deserves photographic evidence. Surely the Adver would use the pic?

I am surprised an official keep Paolo at Swindon campaign has not yet started, I think the Adver would be the perfect mouthpiece.

Why make it official?  The strength of the vocal backing he received at Crawley spoke volumes.  That's what would have mattered to Paolo.  Those tears?  I think the backing he had from our fans had a part in that.

I think, given current sensitivities, whacking a picture of the managers house on the internet might not be the best idea.

No ones asking for the house, just to see what the banner looks like

Looking at the banner from the game, I think that O started off life as an U.

Ha. Well spotted.
