150th Anniversary game V Derby County

[...]

Naturally hostile, and out to ruin the party. I'd hope for a Burnley-esque turn out for this one and really raise the roof

What about turning this into a Venky's out day and an unofficial fans takeover day.

Obviously,  anything inside the ground could be frowned upon, but perhaps a big helium balloon release form the Fernhurst car park, face painting with blue and white halves and Venky's out in red and maybe some T Shirts with Venky's out on them.

The club seem to be giving a collective two fingers to the fans on this, so lets give it back to them and really shove it up them.

I think that's a really good idea Carl. There will be quite a lot of media attention (national and hopefully global) and a vocal and visual protest could not be ignored.

The theme could be along the lines of the 135/15 year comparison which I believe would capture the imagination and hit home as to what a shambles the last decade and a half have.

But also I th8nk a strong focus on, LOVE THE TEAM HATE THE REGIME angle if anything was to be done. There's no taking away from the occasion then

My prediction is that it gets moved to the Friday night for TV, and Yasir and co will make it a category A game.

Everything possible to try and keep the numbers down.

I just wonder if it’s worth taking this one step further and perhaps producing a film. The theme suggested by a few 135 years of success 15 years of miss management. Focus on our fantastic previous owner in Uncle Jack and the polar opposite with Venkys. Ensure it is released on the 150th anniversary to give it maximum impact and incorporate a huge fans takeover day, for the Derby home game, being the last scene in the film,

There seems to be a few producers who would do this, but below is a link to one such company.

Happy to get a price and ideas, to possibly crowd find it, if there is an appetite to do so.

The 135/15 thing is a great idea.

Sadly I dont feel like there's anything to celebrate in our 150th year and that's the reason.

I think that could be really effective.

Another good idea.

I think the 135 / 15 years distinction is a good one. 

Also because it was only a week or so after our 135th anniversary that these awful people completed their takeover and their regime took the club hostage.

So not only is November important as the anniversary of the clubs' founding 150 years ago but also the anniversary of its' darkest day 15 years ago.

Could we all wear Rovers shirts from down the ages (pre 15 years ago),.....could/does anyone know someone who could produce a Loons out stick on that could be stuck over the original sponsor and then you could wear something over it to get in then all reveal it at a given time?
