Good on you Rob - let's hope some muppet from the ministry has to come on air to try to justify the decision
Robs absolutely right , we need to do all we can to make it as uncomfortable as possible for the decision makers! watfords local MP would be a good port of call! Maybe the sky presenter that is a watford fan could mention it on TV! Leventhal is it?
One thing that we can all do is boycott the FA's sponsors products. I know on an individual basis it makes little difference, but if enough people do it and also tell those companies that you are boycotting their products and why - it can start to make a difference. Little Miss W_Y and me and a few others started last week with FIFA's sponsors and we have been sending them emails telling them why...I have justed switched electricity suppliers from eon, we will not be buying any Coke products (including all their brands), no more McDonalds...etc etc. It's a small start, but if enough people do it....
Great idea W_Y suggest an article here and something on facebook.. if you are up to it? They only respond to one thing eg $$$
Yorkie - I am nagging Little Miss W_Y to start a FB page as she has 1000's of friends on there - I will call her later and nag her again...
We need someone to start it and then we can all pass on ...could catch like wildfire.... need to name all the products to boycott and with a clear reason why..... until.... etc etc <
I got loads of friends been talkin to that would sign it, after i explained, even though they dont have anything to do wit the club should I tell them to sign the petition?
Signed And yes goldenboy, it's a petition, they don't need to be personally involved, just agree with the aim.
if you need me to do anything on Facebook, let me know. i don't mind starting a page, i'll just need lots of input!
Petition still there golden boy http://www.petitions24.com/save_watford_fc_girls_centre_of_excellence ...... Hornette We need to start a movement going. Create a page Something like: Boycott FIFA sponsors until FIFA embraces openness. Act now..... They only listen to money... Therefore tell your friends to boycott the following products that sponsor FIFA to force FIFA to listen to the people List the products etc etc........ Get everyone to sign up to this etcetc
Ok, i've started a page...now i need a list of sponsors, possible pics to post on the page..and maybe another admin person to help out..easier to create it with two! lol... i'll definitely get the petition on it!
Hornette - Some sponsorship details: FA: - Vauxhall, McDonalds, E-On, Tesco, Umbro, Mars FIFA - Addidas, Hyundi, Kia, Emirates, Sony, Visa, Coca-Cola (including their brands: Fanta, Sprite, Five Alive, Oasis, Dr Pepper and Glacéau Vitaminwater I can easily grab some pictures from the web if it would help?
Just received a reply to my e-mail to the FA from Kay Cossington, director of Women's Projects- no real content but.... Dear Michael, I have been forwarded your email regarding the Girls’ Centre of Excellence programme. I have spoken with John Saloman this morning and answered the questions raised in the recent communication issued by Watford FC. John has informed me that he will be in contact with the parents following our discussion. Regards
