Falmer - today's stunt

[Tooting Gull]

Look forward to hearing about it - whatever 'it' is - eventually. I suspect it will now not live up to this considerable hype.

Bit silly embargoing it. Local TV stations should not have that sort of clout. It's Meridian for Christ's sake, not Paxman.

What an amazing outburst. We were asked to respect an embargo and are doing so. And that makes us geek nerdy fans? Whatever as I believe the youngsters of the day say.

Not too sure why it is secret and why people are getting so wound up about it. We gave up an hour of our time, had a bit of a laugh, maybe helped the Falmer campaign and will get our ugly mugs on TV. Everyone was invited - why the hell get so heated?

As I say - I don't know what benefit keeping it secret will bring but as I was asked, I will respect the wishes. Some people are never happy if they are not flaming left right and centre.

Aye, surely there are more important things in the world to get wound up about Ah well, whatever, not my problem.

Today's publicity stunt for Falmer went extremely well and was very funny for those who were there.

BBC and Meridian were both there, so look out on Meridian Tonight and BBC South, also BBC Breakfast News and News 24, I am told. Plus Argus, nationals - definitely The Times - and of course the Albion website.

A very big thank you to one particular Albion fan - you will know who when you see the coverage.

It was a great event and another fun item in our campaign, an aspect that we know for sure John Prescott has appreciated. (By the way, this replaces the opening day stunt that was planned for Saturday.)

Many thanks to those who volunteered to help.

Just seen it, very funny, who was the guy in the Palarse shirt though ? They're not all tossers.

He was an actual Palace fan - fair play. And Meridian held the shot just long enough to show me emptying some on him!

Good sport - he said we could empty a bucket on him if we score at Smellhurst.

 

[Barnet Seagull]

ok someone spill what happened.

Des Lynham was shown getting a soaking by fans to show what home games at Withdean are like, bloody good idea.

 

[Beeercan]

It was fun, a bit of a laugh the palace fan didn't mind but it's all fun

 

[The Great Cornholio]

ok someone spill what happened.

We all wore a different Championship shirt and emptied water cans on Des's head. The idea being that fans get wet every time it rains so we were getting our own back on a Brighton fan.

No big deal - just a bit of fun and another nudge to Prezza.

 

[Rougvie]

I was there.

I would LOVE someone to come up to my FACE and call me a tosser.

Fairplay to the guy !!!

Well done again - thought the slogan on the waterproof was excellent.

And here are the geeky, nerdy fans responsible!

"very funny"

you're not all there are you that was complete pants. "oh look, lets get Des wet for 20seconds of news time....everyone will find it hilarious..."

Tough break running out of shirts - but at least you got to talk to the "lovely" Julie Knox - I've never seen so many people take a collective step back when she arrived!

I'll try and upload it a bit later so you can have a laugh/slag us off. (Delete as applicable)

 

[Beeercan]

We did not come up with the idea, we just volentered for something. So don't slag us off (i'm the one in the Sheff Utd Shirt)

 

[The Great Cornholio]

An interesting side note - Des signed all the shirts so they can be sold to raise funds. All except the Reading one as they have asked for theirs back. They really don't want people to like them. As for the teams that didn't send one - they should be named and shamed. Cardiff and Palarse spring to mind.
