who would be interested in a protest game at falmer?

[Black Country Seagull]

I have a genius marketing plan to get further media coverage on our fight for a game. At the end of the season, on behalf of the club, a massive free for all footy game should be organised on the falmer site.

Supporters of every club in the country should be invited to attend and show their support.

A secondry aim of breaking some world record for the most particapents in a game of football would perhaps provide world wide coverage an encourage more people to attend.

Thirdly it could become an annual event in celebration of fans united and falmer - think of the revenue that could be earned for the club or fans- united.

So who would be interested in taking part?

I think we'd get done for trespass.

Who owns the land?

Surely we could have a kick-about on the bit already owned by the council?

i thought they said it was public land and an area of natural beauty, how can that be trespass - it is just a case of a lot of people on a walk, having a picnic in the field and deciding to have a kick around.

exactly, i don't think there is any signs saying no ball games - it would be simular to a kick around in the park - just more stamford bridge style playing surface

Even better. How about we all decide by coincedence to go for a pic-nic by the duck pond in Falmer village on the same Saturday afternoon and someone brings a ball!

football and a swim followed by camp fire duck cooked by a donatello (sp?) chef that by coincednence had a industrial barbecue in the back of his car whilst taking a short cut through falmer village.

I thought the council currently rent the field to a farmer, so it is technically his land.

I may be wrong.

i'm sure a small collection/donation could be arranged that would mean the farmer opening his field/ land up for the weekend. After all usually farmers are happy for the extra revenue.

Count me in

I'd be up for it for a laugh, although I can't imagine much passing football on a ploughed field

You'd get more press if you did it in Toys R Us car park.

How about in April, on the 9th anniversary of the last Goldstone game?

Now that sounds like a plan

 

[Soul Finger]

Now that sounds like a plan

It could be done when all the shops are closed, thus allowing a very large, flat pitch.

I, like most of you, haven't set foot on that sacred piece of land. I would for this though.

I reckon we could get a few hundred a side and a ton of press down.

Thoughts?

Nice idea, but I haven't set foot there since 1997 and I plan on starting until Falmer is built.

How about a Red Bull style flugtag (or whatever it's called). We could all build things out of shopping trolleys or prams and jump them into the village pond.

 

[TSB]

i'm up for either!

 

[Soul Finger]

It could be done with minimial disruption to the shops, which is very improtant.

Say, early evening around 7pm. Permission from all the shops. Hundred a side, everyone wearing blue and white, against red and blacks.

 

[Black Country Seagull]

I have mailed the club to see if they would like to be involved or even simply provide information on how to arrange such an event.

I would like to point out however, it's my ball and.......... applys.

 

[Muhammad - I’m hard - Bruce Lee]

i aint fuckin runnin about
