Green balloons, is simple and affordable, blow them up when inside. With Green balloons blowing over the pitch, the TV cameras will notice. If even just 100 people got 5 green balloons each thats one hell of a visual on the TV.
something like this?

Fans re-united date 24th Sep?
What you are doing is amazing - but I fear the date is WRONG. Saturday 8th of October Plymouth are at home to Accrington. 8th October is also another international break so;
THERE ARE NO GAMES FOR PREMIER AND CHAMPIONSHIP CLUBS
If you do it on 24th Sep will you get a few Albion and the odd other team, but many fans will follow their own team who will be playing, and you're competing against a FULL fixture list.
If an event was on 8th Oct, aside the extra 2 weeks publicity time, their are no premier league or championship games that weekend, and I believe this amazing event will receive many more fans from the top 2 divisions teams as they have no games at all.
The Alternative is to have both dates,
fans reunited 1 (24th Sep) and fans re-united 2 on (8th October)....... The scope to get rival fans to 8th Oct being much higher.
Brighton "Go green" V Leeds, should be as much about generating national publicity for the fans re-united events at home park as for showing solidarity
+ if banners at our "go green" game (the best publicity of all) against Leeds, had a date 2 weeks away (8th October), so that people can plan (rather than the very next day - 24th), the media coverage would build interest and momentum over those 2 weeks.

As stated on another thread, it looks like being something of a three week event. The 24th was chosen due to the urgency of the situation & the fact PAFC fans fear the club may not exist by the 8th October. But the plan is to offer some kind of support for both dates (& the Go Green Day for our Leeds game).
Whilst I agree that 8th October is a better date, many Plymouth fans think that it could be too late at that point. The 24th may even be, but there's not much we can do about that.
I think the best option is to do as you suggest, with the go green day and the 24th to gain media attention and momentum and build for a massive day on the 8th. Everyone at the first two could take plenty of pictures and these could be posted round other forums to help generate interest.

I don't do facebook or twitter but have an idea if someone can do it.
Contact the guy who did those ads for insurance as an argyle fan, surely he owes something to them for the "Janners" ads.
If nothing else he could get more exposure than us mere mortals.

it should be just brighton going green and whereing green after all it is fan united it should all the teams in the country helping and collecting that would get it on lot more tv and paper outlet i aggree with all of it and collection at all ground if could manager it bye the internet
or maybe ever fan who wants to support the fans united day should go green on the 23rd or 24th at the own match so we get the whole country fans envoled

I am all up for the idea of wearing green, but I have superstitions for the Albion games (even away when I dont go) and that means wearing the same clothes to games, same jeans, pants, socks and of course the Home kit, If I wear green and we lose, ill blame myself!!

Personally I think that the Liverpool game would be better. It's a game that will probably have a larger TV audience than the Leeds one and the scousers will probably back it more than the Leeds fans.

It's all about the bikes
I think we should have banners at both, for definite.
Don't forget we're meeting up at the Lord Nelson tomorrow night at 7. We can discuss fans reunited and go green.

wear blue - wave your away shirt in the air for the cameras
just a thought to everyone - don't worry about money - this is just about awareness of the Argyle fans' plight and as such will achieve much more than money ever could.
Brilliant Brighton fans................green balloons..........................loving it
My sister put a message about fans reunited day on red and white kop and e-mailed spirit of shankley
