Backroom Madon Posted August 15, 2016 Backroom Posted August 15, 2016 An idea by somebody else on another thread. We need to target certain individuals at certain times tonight so that they will not miss it. E.g. If everybody tweets Jason Roberts for example at 7pm then as long as he still uses twitter he HAS to see them. I suggest one person per half an hour. 15th August - 7pm Jason Roberts 7.30pm Michel Salgado (the only person that seems slightly interested at present) Please add on as you wish... Admins, thought this was a good idea and didn't want it to get lost in the other thread.

Jock Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 Is Mike Newell still at war with Agents? He might be worth a shout.
Backroom Mike E Posted August 15, 2016 Backroom Posted August 15, 2016 I've gone for a few today. All recent ex-players. Also tweeted Stu Bennett (Wade Barrett of WWE fame) as I recall he was fond of Rovers despite being a Nobber.
Gav Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 High profile Rovers fans also: Matt Smith Gary Aspen Lee Mac Wayne Hemmingway Bill Beaumont Faris Badwin Just to get the word out.
Backroom Madon Posted August 15, 2016 Author Backroom Posted August 15, 2016 We need to bombard one at a time IMO. Starting with Jason Roberts at 7pm.
Dreams of 1995 Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 I think the bombardment of somebody like Salgado, who has already spoken out, may be a bit unfounded. It would be better to target those celebs that have yet to speak out. Salgado has done his bit and I suspect he will do much more.
Backroom Madon Posted August 15, 2016 Author Backroom Posted August 15, 2016 7pm Jason Roberts. 7.30pm.. general consensus?
ihtd Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 Only my opinion but I truly believe ex-players are going to be of no use to us. They have reputations within the game to uphold and may still be tied to NDA's. We need to be hitting investigative journalists as these guys will want the story as this could be much bigger than we have actually realised.
J*B Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 Here is where we're up too then: Jason Roberts - 19:00 Matt Smith - 19:10Gary Aspen - 19:20Lee Mac - 19:35Wayne Hemmingway 19:45Bill Beaumont 19:55Faris Badwin 20:05 Jos Buttler 20:15 Michel Salgado (maybe a 'thanks for speaking out'?) 20:25 Can anyone confirm the twitter handles for any of these? Can anyone think of a tweet in less than 140 characters including their handle? Only my opinion but I truly believe ex-players are going to be of no use to us. They have reputations within the game to uphold and may still be tied to NDA's.We need to be hitting investigative journalists as these guys will want the story as this could be much bigger than we have actually realised. Sounds like a plan - Any journalist suggestions/twitter handles?
Gav Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 Jos ButtlerNot a Rovers fan, was in 95, not anymore.Steve Pemberton Will Greenwood (Born in Bburn, probably not a fan)
J*B Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 Not a Rovers fan, was in 95, not anymore. Steve Pemberton Sorry Joss, you're out. Here is where we're up too then: Jason Roberts Matt Smith Gary Aspen Lee Mac Wayne Hemmingway Bill Beaumont Faris Badwin Steve Pemberton Michel Salgado (maybe a 'thanks for speaking out'?) @heidiblake I had this lot at 10m intervals - probably not long enough. Might have to push some back until tomorrow night?
Baz Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 @jcalvertst Jonathan Calvert Sunday Times Investigation lead journo. And sorry it should be @heidilblake They both won awards for bringing Blatter to book with their investigation.
ihtd Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 I tweeted both in the doc leaks thread. @TJQuinnESPN @AAndrewJennings The double A is NOT a typo! If we can get at these en mass we may be able to get their attention in what are likely busy Twitter feeds for notifications. I'd suggest targeting these two first and repeatedly for an hour. We need RTs, likes, follow-ups to each tweet. Even if it means pretty much spamming your own Twitter feed, so be it. A tweet along the lines of "Have you seen the leaked documents alleging corruption at former EPL title winning club?" #VenkysOut

ihtd Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 These "celeb" fans will not help I'm afraid, it is not in their interest to put their head above the parapet. I am strongly advocating we go after people who have a track record of exposing stories people do not want exposing first.
Dunnfc Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 Keep sharing and signing the petition folks - https://www.change.o...t=copylink_long It would be great if some could share via twitter and facebook etc!!!

Someone had to cut it... @JasonRoberts30 Michel Salgado (maybe a 'thanks for speaking out'?) @heidilblake @jcalvertst @TJQuinnESPN @AAndrewJennings Ian balshaw (does he stay for being a sportsman?) Shane Williams (hows he come back to Rovers?)
