This is what people keep asking.
No idea why they won't, I can guarantee if they did they would have much more support.
It means nobody at any side sits comfortably, it also means every base is covered.

Because the trust are close with people who have been poisoned by their hatred of sisu that they can't see anything else. They have secret meetings with the council and London Wasps so it looks as though they are being played.

Regarding the advertising board. Can I have some suggestions about what to place under “5 & OUT” when it changes on Friday night? Needs to be quick and punchy obviously.

The suggestion wouldn't be to use 5 and out, what does it mean? What's the point? What does it say to people and who is it going to pressure?
I will try to be as constructive as I can.
Why not:
SISU, CCC, WASPS
You don't want to be involved in this dying.

The advertising board should not begging up on Friday night, it should be going up on Saturday letting London Wasps know their continued refusal will not be tolerated. You lot really don't get it do you?

Aim it at them as above, keep it there all the next day too.
Use the same to get something put up in town...

It will change on Friday night and display what ever it’s changed to until Tuesday when it will be changed again. This will continue until May.

It's too easy to brush away. Wasps and CCC will just copy and paste their statements, SISU wont really give a shit.
Im not the best with words (NorthernWisdom is though!) but think it needs to be to the point, no dilly dallying.
Make it a bit of a hint at a threat. Obviously not over the top and silly but just one of those "you know what im saying" type things.
Honestly don't see the point in putting it to say "5 and out" on there. It doesn't explain really.

OK, I apologise then, that is better.
It should be aimed at the rugby team playing on Saturday.

The aim should really be to let each side know not to get comfortable, if CCFC dies because of them all then they will be in the shit.
The harder one to figure out is where to put one to show SISU up.... I dont know much about London or where the types they want to impress hang about

I like the idea of using the quotes. Maybe the Eastwood, Lucas and Seppala ones we tweeted out earlier but we’d need to make sure they can be read easily. Not all at the same time obviously.

Who is it aimed at? People driving past? How long is it on for each time it shows?
Most people walking to the game won't see it.

10-20 seconds each time it’s shown.

I’ll put that one forward. It’d be nice if we could use it or something like it. The thing is I don’t see it as their pitch and ground. They might own them but I’ll never consider them theirs spiritually. Am I alone in that?
It might be restricted due to who’s land it’s on. A factual quote is something I doubt they could argue with though.

The only thing with a quote is that within the split second of somebody driving past they need to know what it means, who said it and why it's on the ad board.
Especially if it's on rotate.
I'd chip in for a massive banner in central London just saying "strangle the bitch". Would be almost artistic. Not sure if would be allowed though as it would be taken as a threat rather than the comedy.
Does anybody remember those things not long ago on lampposts about a bloke cheating or something that turned out to be a printing company? Can't remember the exact wording but it was clever.
What about draping a couple of banners either side the bridge over the A444 or bridges for that matter with something like Coventry City being killed off by London Wasps on it short, sharp and to the point and would attract immediate media attention.
Would also be an embarrassing problem for our council having to take them down 2 birds with one stone and this could be repeated easily.

Well, there's a reason the seats are sky blue. The stadium was built for us. I have been trying to leverage that into some meaningful statement.

The quotes work well on led by donkeys, although their boards are static.

This is it, w**ps play hard ball and make CCFC close down, SISU still sue the council for the Ricoh sale and now they sue w**ps for ruining a business under their umbrella.

May as well look but... They're usually open for a reason.
Not sure if I'd do image anyway - lots to process.

Could it be more effective to get bus adverts instead? More will see them and whenever you’re stuck behind one you end up reading it for longer. Don’t know how the costs compare but you could get multiple slogans/messages out

Are you reading that from a script?
The trust's book of comebacks, in no particular order:
"What have you done?"
"At least the Trust are trying!"
"Your just a SISU apologist!"
"Why should w**ps sign a new deal whilst being sued?"
"The council done what was best for the city".
"It's all Joy and Timmys fault!"
Have I missed anything?

What about the video of jimmy hill leading the sky blue song at HR with everyone on the pitch? With the message, this is what CCFC is, tradition, history, unity, pride.
This.....
