Wasn't something like this done before... Green T-shirts left on the seats at lansdowne or something!!
Well anyway I'll be sporting my jersey and singing my heart out either way, that's if I get a ticket!!

[jbyrne]

given its november people cant be relied on to wear their green jerseys. the only way this will work is if t-shirts or similar are handed out to put over your jacket etc.

also, if there are green cards to be held up as the teams come out i would suggest they are made of plastic or similar given that the last time we did this with cardboard it resulted in hundreds of paper airplanes being thrown onto the pitch

Ya, t-shirts would be a good idea, though plain green would be a lot better than having something printed on them from the same genius that brought us "Irish Rock, Swiss Roll" at Landsdowne Road!!:eek::D

my actual preference would be for green and white scarfs to be handed out and held aloft. would look super

Be nice to get the FAI to commision a flag for over the crowds head with something like "NO REGRETS" on it for when the teams come out

I think they should... The french had a replica shirt in 2004 and the germans had one against russia in moscow the last day!!
It would be good to see something like that draped across the canal end before kickoff, probably wouldn't work in the Hill with the french fans being in there too!

Yeah this is an idea. Seem to remember it looked great at a recent Manchester derby. Get on it FAI!

[eamo1]

Im raging i'll miss this game.Been to every home Qualifier and friendly matches too but i promised my boss months ago id fill in for her on that Saturday:mad:.I'll still be wearing my green that day in work,the group is growing on facebook and he was on Gerry Ryan this morning.Its grown now and everyone not just those in the stadium will be wearing green.

[Junior]

It would look impressive if it was anything like the South Koreans during the World Cup.

They had the simple Red Cotton Tees with a slogan "Go Reds" or something similar and everyone, I mean everyone was wearing them - Airline Stewards, McDonalds staff, Hotel staff, Train Staff plus all the joe blogs going about there daily business - It looked great.

Some brilliant work being done over at ybig to try and make the French game a great atmosphere

Cheers there are a few of us really trying to get things moving, and as far as Im concerned its working. We have had great national coverage on the radio and newspaper coverage is to follow. Im also hopefull of a mention on telly soon. Great stuff.

60,000 green scarves (top&bottom tier). Surely someone like Carlsberg could commission this? Ideal for them...a Carlsberg scarf with 'Ireland v France. World Cup Play Off November 14th' in small writing on one or both ends to mark the occassion.

Nothing looks better than a whole stadium holding scarves aloft or even better swinging them in unison above our heads.

id say everyone going to the match will have some sort of Ireland scarf at home from over the years. just have to encourage them to bother to bring them to the match

[Babysis]

Lads hopefully you all saw the launch of this campaign on Friday's 6-1 news. It was also featured on the front page of Saturday's indo and there was a picture in the Mirror too.
There was a radio interview done on Saturday with a dublin station and there is more to come. Great stuff.

The KOP end at the United game last wkd looked class on TV with all the red scarves being waved in the air, we should try and get the same effect going.

maybe this could be the simple message to get accross? just get fans to rummage around their house and find an Ireland scarf to bring along and hold aloft. i just cant see too many leaving their overcoats at home for the night

[citizenerased]

i agree, it will be freezing

[Greenforever]

Hopefully there will be a minutes applause for Eirebhoy organised by the FAI and then the singing section can start Youll never walk alone with a bit of assistance from th estadium announcer, it would please Eirebhoy and also really lift the athmosphere in the stadium from the start as the whole stadium will join in

[IsMiseSean]

the message should be simple to all and at a minimum everyone should have a scarf to bring. realistically many will not leave the overcoat at home in mid november so a scarf is the best option imo

I'm freezing in my seat (upper Hogan) at the best of times so mid Novemeber....it will be baltic. Sorry, but i aint risking pneumonia wearing a green jersey. A scarf it will have to be.

Good work Blobby.
Great to see Gerry Daly's goal against Holland, one of my first ever games.

[Predator]

I am absolutely buzzing for this!

[Ringo]

Today 11am at Carroll's on Westmoreland Street. We've got two models but we need real fans as well, that what the campaign is about. We have Q102 & a French news channel camera crew. We don't know who else will turn up from the papers, their all invited. Worse case senario we have our own camera man hired & we'll send out the photos Tomorrow afternoon to the papers with a press release.

Could leg it down from our offices on Harcourt Street Ringo but in suit so probably not the fan image you're looking for?

[MariborKev]

Ditto eaststand. Pinstripe Loyal :)

"not the fan image" is an anagram of "a the no fat minge"
