Keep up the good work Title: Say Yes Campaign Post by: RobertT on Monday, January 23, 2006, 12:55:35 It was the club. They've been talking to Brighton, so I'd guess they might have influenced the banner campaign.
Title: Say Yes Campaign Post by: pauld on Monday, January 23, 2006, 14:35:53 Ash, nope, much as I'd love us to be able to take credit for them, as Rob T said, the club have done these. And fair play to them, as you say, they looked good.
We're doing the Keep Town in Swindon postcards/letters to councillors plus the "economic survey" of what fans spend at the club (so we can prove to the council that having the club at CG brings in millions to the town every year). Got another few hundred postcards on Saturday - thanks to everyone who filled one out. But both us and the club need to start addressing the wider population of Swindon - at the moment, we're all focusing too much on addressing arguments to fans. Which is still worth doing cos hopefully then the fans act as ambassadors for the arguments, but the club and fans groups need to be seen to be addressing the argument of why non-football fans in Swindon should care. Title: Say Yes Campaign Post by: Asher on Monday, January 23, 2006, 15:14:37 I signed one of those!!

Which is still worth doing cos hopefully then the fans act as ambassadors for the arguments, but the club and fans groups need to be seen to be addressing the argument of why non-football fans in Swindon should care. And why should they care? Because having a football club is an important part of the town's cultural life, just as much as having a theatre, a cinema etc Because having the club in Swindon centre brings in millions to the town's economy (the council spend hundreds of thousands trying to attract that kind of business to the town, yet they seem happy to sit back and watch us lose one we've already got) Because the club does invaluable work in the community through the football in the community schemes, study centres etc which would almost certainly not be replaced if the club moved out Because a redeveloped facility could provide the kind of conferencing facilities the town is sorely lacking which would in turn help attract major businesses to the town Because a redeveloped facility could provide sports and leisure facilities everyone could benefit from Because Swindon's had a pro football club for 125 years - its part of our heritage Because if we've got any sense of civic pride whatever, for a town this size not to have a pro football club would be embarassing; for us to have had one and lost it thru sheer indifference would be shameful Because yeovil_red says so |
