Sorry to those who were upset by my first posting, but I was asked to ask our volunteers to embargo it until tonight. That's just the way it is with TV stations I guess.
In fact I think it was covered on the Albion website earlier than that in the stadium news section, so you would have found it there! But I did want to thank those that volunteered via NSC and also alert supporters to look out for something.
And those that looked on BBC News 24 (available on Freeview) would have seen excellent coverage, much better than either Meridian Tonight or South Today.
The whole point was not to try and get a huge regional mention but to get on the national stations and in the national papers. I am sure Mr Prescott's people will have seen the item on BBC News 24 even if our supporters didn't! They will see it in the nationals tomorrow, I hope - certainly in The Times as Nick Szecpanik was there.
It was never going to make the difference between Yes and No. It was just a fun way to keep the pressure on, and we know for certain - because he has said so - that John Prescott has enjoyed our campaign thus far as we have kept it light-hearted since February 2004. There was a window of opportunity with the build-up to the Football League season before the Premiership starts to dominate, so we took it.
As for people being sorry when this stadium campaign is over, as someone claimed earlier in this thread, believe me, I am not going to be one of them. After 10 years of campaigning, I cannot wait to get back to a normal life - and I know the likes of Paul Samrah will agree with me!

Worthwhile I'm sure. Thank you to all involved. Won't alter the decision but keeps it in the news in the build up to decision.

Best bit for me was when the reporter woman said "So, Des, will you keep the poncho?" trying to be all quirky and he just went.."Why would I want a wet poncho"
Legend.
