J*B Posted October 11, 2016 Author Posted October 11, 2016 Whilst its great people are still donating, please consider donating to the Indian Newspaper advert instead of this now. We've reached the target needed to pay it now, the additional money creates a slight issue of 'what do we do with it' that nobody had considered... We're currently at £40 over now, so if anyone donated £40 or more and is happy for £40 of their donation to be reallocated to the indian newspaper advert please make yourselves known!

Sure put it in the other pot if you can.

Especially if all of the money is being kept in separate pots by separate groups.If only there was an umbrella organisation to pool all of the money into a single WAR chest.

If only there was an umbrella organisation to pool all of the money into a single WAR chest. As talked about at the meeting, this isn't really a group thing, it's just people doing what they can to help. As such we don't have the infrastructure that a typical "group" does have!
mhead Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 Especially if all of the money is being kept in separate pots by separate groups. If only there was an umbrella organisation to pool all of the money into a single WAR chest. Simple. draw the money out....and send a donation to the Indian Advert. Like a waterfall, when we achieve the Advert target any money over goes to next 'action' or fighting fund. At least all this is moving.
J*B Posted October 12, 2016 Author Posted October 12, 2016 Meeting him tomorrow so he can see the wall, work out designs and payment plans. Lots of good suggestions but realistically we are relying on the artists knowledge about what will look good, what is too much, etc. I'll post any initial thoughts tomorrow and once we've got 4 designs they'll be put to public vote. As it's donated money, we are working on a payment structure to ensure everyone is happy.

As minor as it is for sky, could we try get it revealed that day and try get sky to pay a visit?

mhead Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 Good idea....just as he pretends to finish it off, with group of admiring supporters who can make telling points to the cameras(including Simon G, SuperAtko and Duggie?)
donnermeat Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 I saw the Graffia van driving past Ewood this evening. Don't know what this adds to the thread but I was excited to see it.
Iceman Posted October 14, 2016 Posted October 14, 2016 I saw the Graffia van driving past Ewood this evening. Don't know what this adds to the thread but I was excited to see it.Should have asked if he is selling vanilla ice cream cones
J*B Posted October 15, 2016 Author Posted October 15, 2016 No designs through yet, expecting Monday now. Since they're going to vote trying to get the best representation of what they'll look like.
Blueboy Downunder Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 looking forward to seeing what designs are gonna be the options. although i wont get to see the final piece on the wall, i am sure that there will be plenty of photos on here.
Backroom Tom Posted October 17, 2016 Backroom Posted October 17, 2016 Cross posting Madon's post from the debt thread This is an idea for the mural - I personally think it's brilliant https://postimg.org/image/euwy8l147/ An alternative will be produced with an option to vote at some point
Backroom Madon Posted October 17, 2016 Backroom Posted October 17, 2016 Sorry I posted that on the wrong thread! That is design option 1. Option 2 will be available shortly and then will go to a vote.
EwoodDawn Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 Very striking and thought provoking rather than rude. I like it.
Roverall Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 Superb, poignant image that sums it all up. My reservation would be that it comes across as a lament rather than a protest. I would put the Rao family front and centre.
SIMON GARNERS 194 Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 Very nice. What about adding 'Rovers fans say you lied' under the Desia Quote...
yoda Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 Very striking and thought provoking rather than rude. I like it. I think it needs a little more punch, for those that don't know/realise just what they have done to the club
MGAndy Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 Needs Ghandi up there with Jack to have some appeal in India. If I am someone without any knowledge I might read and think. Aw that's nice. Good people respecting this guys legacy. If you know what I mean?
Roverall Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 I think it needs a little more punch, for those that don't know/realise just what they have done to the club Punch is exactly right. For all its merit, this image does not do the job in that respect.
