    Porch,

    Don't look for 100% approval or praise on social media cos you won't get it.

    If you want to do it then go for it.

    There will be a lot of barriers to overcome and you'll need to convince the club. They will listen but don't expect them or anyone else to do it for you.

    And people will moan but you are going to have to think about the practical things like cost and who is going to tidy up the mess. Don't expect someone else to do it for you.

    And when you do it some who sat on their backsides will tell you what you should have done better. That's the way it is.

    It down to you to make it happen so go for it.

    Spoken like a true busy body!

    Thanks for proving the 2nd last para for me.

    Personally I think this retort could have been done much better. It's like the person making it just didn't put any thought into it.

    You're right but still far more thought than went into yours. Which again proves my point.

    I suggest streamers rather than bog roll

    Still researching the most cost effective option.

    If we're using toilet rolls, how many would we need?

    North Stand

    Capacity: 9,000

    but only upper so maybe half that? so you will need one for each bum on seat - so i would say maybe 3-4k

    Portch - can you please ensure that whatever you use is properly recycled afterwards?

    Well, with the old fellas in the West, I'm shocked this doesn't happen every game anyway...........


    Tell you what, I sit in the front row of the west upper and there are some days I am literally wading to my seat.......

    Just been given the go ahead by Katrien, she says she and club think it's a very good idea and they will contact me regarding the organisation of it all.

    Really!! Wow. Did you tell her the banner was going to say "fuck off Roland"? :wink:

    how you funding it

    Most likely through crowdfunding, the club and me and my team.
  • I'll happily spot a few quid if you let me know how, credit to you for sticking by your idea. You'd probably raise near enough by setting up a wee stall in RoD a few home games before hand.

    Good thing is about something like this is once approved and executed, you have a liason to work with in future and KM may approve more, perhaps a new modern flag.. whatever. There's plenty to show passion without looking a Nigel.

    Cheers mate
  • One thing I'd say is that you need to advertise it properly. Not just on here or twitter. There's a lot of people who won't even know what a TIFO is

    I know it adds to the cost, but if u get some flyers done, I will happily hand some out down Ransom Walk before Norwich or Brentford

    Yeah that's a very good shout. I will look into this tonight. I do graphic design so I wouldn't have an issue designing a flyer and printing it at college at a reduced cost ;)
