Ralfinho Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Phew!! Im over the moon tonight, it looks like the mounting pressure and momentum of the planned boycott has actually worked. \now with all the donations I want to know what everyone would like me to do? One option is to run a rallying call banner next week for the planned days to try and get Ewood Park packed out next Saturday, I have posted on twitter and Facebook for graphic designer to mock up a banner and I will choose the best one and send for print. The other option is to run a banner for one of the days and the remaining money to be donated to a local charity. Which one would you prefer? Can a poll with the 2 options be created ASAP please?

T4E Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Now he's gone it should be an end to stuff like this. Give everyone their money back/donate it to a charity, and lets everyone get back to just simply supporting a football team.
Mike Graham Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 I would rather that we take the moral high ground and donate tickes to those who can least afford to go to Ewood. We have done this before via BRFCS.
Ralfinho Posted September 28, 2012 Author Posted September 28, 2012 I would rather that we take the moral high ground and donate to those who can least afford to go to Ewood. buy a load of tickets and hand them out next week?
SIMON GARNERS 194 Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 A one day,full pager and donate the rest to charity.
Stuart Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 A one day,full pager and donate the rest to charity. I agree - perhaps thank the LT and particularly A Cryer for their support. Make a dignified statement from the fans for the fans and give the rest to a good local cause.
Neil Weaver Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 A one day,full pager and donate the rest to charity. Maybe not a full page, but something for a day or two to say 'get your arses to Ewood on 6 Oct' is my vote, rest to charity, and an article from Cryer summing all this up if he can be encouraged!
Baz Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Buy STs for use by local kids charity is my preferred, or donate to the supporters trust.
Threepenny Bit Foot Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Can I have my 20 pounds back! Great night all round!
mhead Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Cmon: 5 Adverts getting Supporters to make Saturday 6th October a Carnival day. Plus a Competition for Schools to win 5 Junior Season Tickets. OUR OUTCOME: To even fill the Darwen End Upper What a message to send to the Owners and the Media!!

Im liking this idea. I will get in touch with Cryer. I am sure he will happily oblige and whats everyones charity of choice?
perthblue02 Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Ralfinho happy with my donation to go with a one day add and the rest to buy season tickets for charity. Just looked up what the Mayor of Blackburn's charity is for this year, there are two East Lancs Hospice and Miles of Smiles , be good publicity for Rovers supporters and the Mayor did support the Action group etc. http://www.blackburn.gov.uk/server.php?show=ConWebDoc.57844
Backroom Tom Posted September 28, 2012 Backroom Posted September 28, 2012 East Lancs Hospice is a fantastic local charity
Stuart Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 East Lancs Hospice is a fantastic local charity +1,000,000
Lurid Coat Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 A one day,full pager and donate the rest to charity. This!! I can't help wanting to kick him when he's down with a "Happy to see the back of you" type of ad, considering how he's done his utmost to p*** off and wind up the Rovers faithful during the "number of years" (yes, his statement actually said that) he's been the Rovers "manager". He's also no doubt going to sue Rovers (constructive dismissal), so I really really really really want to stick the boot in!
DeadlyDirk Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 I agree with those saying maybe a one day banner and the rest being donated to charity. (The East Lancs Hospice sounds a great idea)
Ralfinho Posted September 28, 2012 Author Posted September 28, 2012 what about a 1 day banner? Cryer said he will do an article to support it and then some of it to buy 1 adult & 1 junior ST to be an extra raffel for the rovers return or we run a seperate comp for people to buy tickets for the raffel which in turn will generate even more money for charity? Or I could ask the club to donate 2, get some signed shirts and footballs and put on an event in the blues bar where they can either be auctioned off or raffled then all proceeds going to charity? With this base money we can, if we all knuckle together turn it into a massive amount that will go to a really good cause. these are just thoughts im thinking in my merry state at present. I am very good at organising events so I wouldnd mind doing so
mhead Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 The aim is to get Ewood as full as possible. Just think of the message this sends to the Media,the Owners and to Mr and Mrs Kean. We must get them to open up the Darwen End Upper(and whos betting Agnew,Shaw etc will be hating the next week)
Ralfinho Posted September 28, 2012 Author Posted September 28, 2012 im arranging a party at Blues bar for Sat 13th October here is the FB event I need help with any bands that wanna play etc etc https://www.facebook.com/events/366061270137907
Emge Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 I love the idea of an add in LT with a rallying call to unite the fans and get people back into Ewood, without even mentioning Kean or anything, just a really positive (sorry) message to inspire people to come back and support Blackburn Rovers Football Club ! And of course donate the rest for charity - that is just wonderful! :tu:
Ralfinho Posted September 28, 2012 Author Posted September 28, 2012 i am going down to the ticket office tomorrow to purchase the 2 season tickets for the event. I am also going to email the club and ask for donations to also raffle off at the event.
Ben-2000 Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Definately get an advert in encouraging people to return!
Ralfinho Posted September 28, 2012 Author Posted September 28, 2012 Definately get an advert in encouraging people to return! there will be mate, it will also be promoting the charity event i am arranging
