Backroom Madon Posted August 19, 2016 Author Backroom Posted August 19, 2016 Thanks Bob, We aren't far off. I've been doing abit of work on www.venkysout.com tonight so haven't been able to plug this as much. Would be great if people could share it on social media tonight to try and reach £2000. Is there a photocall planned with the hospice when the £2k is raised? Cheque handover...opportunity for further publicity As of yet, no. Definitely something we could do though.. I'm hoping to raise alot more than £2,000 as it's only been a few days so far. Nearly 5,000 have signed the other petition, I know it's not as easy to get people to sign when you have to stick your hand in your pocket buy I'm trying!

Likes of LT/BBC online would definitely pick that up I think. Couple of you in Rovers shirts handing over the cheque etc. Am sure the hospice will be accommodating.
Jock Posted August 20, 2016 Posted August 20, 2016 Any chance of getting it linked on the big Liverpool Forums? They've had their trouble with bad owners.
blueboy3333 Posted August 20, 2016 Posted August 20, 2016 Not aimed at you Jock but I hope everyone is doing their bit and not just sitting back waiting for others to do it. If you've got an idea crack on with it, even if it's just a case of sending an email or two to raise awareness. A Man U fan over on that link Madon provided sent an email to David Conn asking if he could investigate our club further. Another provided links to general footy forums with big online readerships. That's Man U fans doing this with no interest in our club. Lets not be a bunch of apathetic losers who talk a good game on a forum then do nowt.
Backroom Mike E Posted August 20, 2016 Backroom Posted August 20, 2016 Any chance of getting it linked on the big Liverpool Forums? They've had their trouble with bad owners. I tried one or two, but all have some sort of cap on posting a topic. May try somega other clubs tonight.
Hasta Posted August 20, 2016 Posted August 20, 2016 So close to the target but it seems to have stalled. After today's debacle, I've just gone back in with another £3. I paid more than that at Ewood today for a glass of that amber @#/? they call lager.

I paid more than that at Ewood today for a glass of that amber @#/? they call lager. Thanks Hasta, I've stopped promoting it the last couple of days as been on with other things. I'll make sure we reach the £2,000 at the absolute minimum though. I just need a bit of support promoting it on social media.

Already doing it for you mate, let me know who you want targetting. - https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=%23venkysout
broadsword Posted August 20, 2016 Posted August 20, 2016 It really was a great idea. We might not be rid of them yet but at least we are doing Spreyton positive with our frustration. That had to be worth something. Much better to have a positive outlet
Backroom Madon Posted August 20, 2016 Author Backroom Posted August 20, 2016 We can get to at least £3,000 with the right publicity. All it takes is for people to keep sharing it. I got to £1,200 in around 18 hours.
Wing Wizard Windy Miller Posted August 20, 2016 Posted August 20, 2016 Just donated. Thank you Madon for taking the time to set this up. They do fantastic work at the hospice.
Mr. E Posted August 21, 2016 Posted August 21, 2016 Donated and signed. I feel helpless and depressed, but here's hoping that hope is not dead yet.
Dunnfc Posted August 21, 2016 Posted August 21, 2016 Donated and signed. I feel helpless and depressed, but here's hoping that hope is not dead yet. We will keep fighting E. The uprising is now only beginning back to 2012.
Dunnfc Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 Massive kudos to those who've donated and signed the petitions etc. Surely we can go further with this especially as it's a great cause!

I might have to call it a do when we hit £2,000. It has really slowed down over the weekend unfortunately and I'd like to end on a landmark figure. Maybe £2,500?
Mike Graham Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 I would suggest leaving it at £2k. You will have achieved your objective and there are always other future good causes. Well done.....brilliant stuff. Just focus on the follow up publicity when heading over the cheque.

Well done.....brilliant stuff. Just focus on the follow up publicity when heading over the cheque. The last paragraph there is key. We need as much publicity as possible.
broadsword Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 One of the messages on the JG page: "We want our club back." Oh yea brothers, OH YEA. Maybe this could be a reguular "flash" event. Try to raise £2k for a good cause quickly. We could do a variety of causes and that would be a number of photo opportunities. It would put the fans ina great light, and I tell you one. It would make me feel one hell of a lot better. Just an idea.
rigger Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 Well done.....brilliant stuff. Just focus on the follow up publicity when heading over the cheque. Is Duffy giving the cheque?
47er Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 The last paragraph there is key. We need as much publicity as possible. Yea, wear a "Venkys Out" shirt at the hand-over ceremony.

Give it another week or so mate some may wait until the month end for payday and donate £20 or so?
