OJRovers Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I like the tuk tuk idea - I think that would get media attention and a few stories run on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roversoutsider Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 What do you guys think about billboard advertisements along the Pune-Mumbai expressway? A lot of business folks travel along that way and would be right at Venkys' turf. Would work out cheaper than newspaper adverts and easier to setup as well.

Backroom Madon Posted September 5, 2016 Author Backroom Share Posted September 5, 2016 For me, I'm easy. It has been set up as donations towards a newspaper article so I suppose if we raise enough money we will have to go with that. If we don't then as stated on the gofundme page all donations will go towards other visual adverts in India, such as the idea above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roversoutsider Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Understood. Good luck guys. Really hope this amounts to something big. If you need any ground work done regarding this, do pm me. I grew up in Pune so still have a lot of friends there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Give 'Em the Axe Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Done! Thanks guys for setting this up. It feels great to have some involvement from abroad on this. Just an FYI, for me personally, credit card is better than texting, purely because I don't have a smart phone. Hence I had to skip out on the wonderful hospice idea. This one is perfect and I hope we can meet the total necessary. Venkys Out. We want our Rovers back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backroom Madon Posted September 5, 2016 Author Backroom Share Posted September 5, 2016 Pretty sure we've already raised enough for other smaller ideas such as adverts on the carts etc, so whatever happens, we will get some sort of message onto the streets of India.

Please, please, please keep the ball rolling. I appreciate that organising takes time and effort, and like all of us you surely have a work and home life. But this kind of initiative is beyond welcome. It's exciting and for me, fuels some uch needed positivity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backroom Madon Posted September 5, 2016 Author Backroom Share Posted September 5, 2016 I'll keep it going until the money coming in stops. I'm waiting on sending a cheque over to East Lancashire Hospice so i've kept the '2 quid to get rid' page live until it's sorted... I'm still getting donations coming in for that! It is brilliant how much not only Rovers fans but fans from other clubs are getting behind us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koi Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Scuse the ignorance but are these ads going to be in English or the native tongue in Pune? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backroom Madon Posted September 5, 2016 Author Backroom Share Posted September 5, 2016 I assume in Indian would be most suitable? I think Glen is in touch with somebody regarding the media side of it so maybe he will have an answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Expert Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Why? Well, as this is a public forum that can be read by anyone, anywhere, the post from iamarover is a bit like telling the enemy that you have a crack sniper in your team, but then giving them a clue where to look for him / her.. Venkys OUT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venkys OUT! Firstly, I was speaking to abbey but I appreciate the reply! I'm still waiting for him to explain his "ra ra rovers" post from yesterday but since you made an effort to I'll reply to you! There's nothing illegal in us taking out adverts abroad. If it's public, more will see it, more will understand why and essentially more will get involved. Also - this "crack sniper" has no name online, only the mods can see IP - what good would it do anyone at Venky towers knowing that another fan is interested in helping out? By all means - if people want a subsection, that's completely fair - it is a democracy after all, it's just the reasoning isn't there for me.
