    Given that the eyes of the world will be on Wembley on Saturday it occurs to me that its a great opportunity to generate some publicity for the City especially with City of Culture coming up.

    It's generally something "off the wall" that generates interest - especially if the media has to do some investigation to get to understand what's going on.

    I wonder that given the opposition are the owls, whether a good dose of Dead Bod flags scattered around the crowd would generate some media interest. Be even better if someone was good with photoshop and could change the bod to an owl.

    OK - so it's a slow day at work and I should be getting on with something constructive!

    Stop trying to suggest something logical.

    To be honest, I don't think there's anything logical about us making flags with the oppositions logo on them. :emoticon-0112-wonde

    the Owl is a symbol of the Greek Goddess Athena (Roman: Minerva).

    We don't want to upset the Olympians on Saturday

    I remember reading about how the new Owl on their badge looked really weak compared to the old more abstract one. Apparently it's some retro owl they've brought back from an earlier badge years ago.

    There's an obvious contrast between this wimpy owl and the angry tiger.

    Someone earlier suggested they were going to do a mock up of it. Good idea in my view. It'd be funny.

    Love it.

    I was going to suggest you tweet it, but then I thought about Owls hooting rather than tweeting, then I realised, it's dead anyway...

    Maybe make it a bit more basic to look more like the original?

    This is such a brilliant idea with a great back-story, but what can be done?
