[Archived] Advert In Indian Press

[OJRovers]

I like the tuk tuk idea - I think that would get media attention and a few stories run on it.

[roversoutsider]

What do you guys think about billboard advertisements along the Pune-Mumbai expressway? A lot of business folks travel along that way and would be right at Venkys' turf. Would work out cheaper than newspaper adverts and easier to setup as well.

[Madon]

For me, I'm easy.

It has been set up as donations towards a newspaper article so I suppose if we raise enough money we will have to go with that.

If we don't then as stated on the gofundme page all donations will go towards other visual adverts in India, such as the idea above.

[roversoutsider]

Understood. Good luck guys. Really hope this amounts to something big.

If you need any ground work done regarding this, do pm me. I grew up in Pune so still have a lot of friends there.

[Give 'Em the Axe]

Done!

Thanks guys for setting this up. It feels great to have some involvement from abroad on this.

Just an FYI, for me personally, credit card is better than texting, purely because I don't have a smart phone. Hence I had to skip out on the wonderful hospice idea. This one is perfect and I hope we can meet the total necessary.

Venkys Out. We want our Rovers back!

[Madon]

Pretty sure we've already raised enough for other smaller ideas such as adverts on the carts etc, so whatever happens, we will get some sort of message onto the streets of India.

Please, please, please keep the ball rolling. I appreciate that organising takes time and effort, and like all of us you surely have a work and home life. But this kind of initiative is beyond welcome. It's exciting and for me, fuels some uch needed positivity.

Here here. Madon, Glen, Mark, Kamy and all the rest are doing a superb job.

[Madon]

I'll keep it going until the money coming in stops.

I'm waiting on sending a cheque over to East Lancashire Hospice so i've kept the '2 quid to get rid' page live until it's sorted... I'm still getting donations coming in for that!

It is brilliant how much not only Rovers fans but fans from other clubs are getting behind us.

Too easy to get a henchman to sabotage maybe ?

£525 in 24 hours. Massive thanks to everyone who has donated. Please keep sharing wherever you can.

[Willie Eckerslike]

Done.

Any thoughts on what day of the week would be the best to run the advert?

[Madon]

If you are on twitter you can retweet me @mattmadon

[koi]

Scuse the ignorance but are these ads going to be in English or the native tongue in Pune?

[Madon]

I assume in Indian would be most suitable? I think Glen is in touch with somebody regarding the media side of it so maybe he will have an answer.

[SuperStella]

Just had a thought... Why don't you put the money you've raised so far on QPR to win on Saturday... ?! 🙄

Not unless it 33/1 rovers to win!

this post proves the point of the need for a private area.

Why?

[The_Expert]

Why?

Well, as this is a public forum that can be read by anyone, anywhere, the post from iamarover is a bit like telling the enemy that you have a crack sniper in your team, but then giving them a clue where to look for him / her..

Venkys OUT!

Firstly, I was speaking to abbey but I appreciate the reply! I'm still waiting for him to explain his "ra ra rovers" post from yesterday but since you made an effort to I'll reply to you!

There's nothing illegal in us taking out adverts abroad. If it's public, more will see it, more will understand why and essentially more will get involved.

Also - this "crack sniper" has no name online, only the mods can see IP - what good would it do anyone at Venky towers knowing that another fan is interested in helping out?

By all means - if people want a subsection, that's completely fair - it is a democracy after all, it's just the reasoning isn't there for me.
