Here's whats needed from the fans on Wednesday November 14
www.ybig.ie/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11372
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!!
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::DQuote:

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

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.Quote:

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 matchQuote:

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.Quote:

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
For anyone who needs some more motivation, ive stuck together my first youtube together...

Good man blobby!
So whats the plan for this??
Are we all wearing green, bringing scarves, is there going to be a giant flag???
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 imoQuote:

I am absolutely buzzing for this!
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?Quote:
