Chivs Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Inspired by the main site's coverage of BCFC flags at the World Cup and mistakenly thinking that someone was wearing a City shirt at the Wimbledon final, I've come up with an idea.The idea is to raise the awareness of the BCFC name.I want a new t-shirt with a phrase like "Bristol City - Spotted" on the front. These could be sold by the ST for, say, £10. The challenge is to see who, during the course of the season, can get themselves on TV, or in the national dailies, wearing the BCFC t-shirt. The person who appears the most times wins (probably not much more than respect but it's the taking part...).The event could be a sporting occasion (cricket in Australia), a political event (Blair speech in Bristol) or a news item etc. The only rule should be that you are spotted on TV or in a national daily newspaper at an event not organised by BCFC.What do you think?

Dollymarie Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Sounds like a plan to me, we could just arrange to get the same logo on a tshirt and sort out the printing of it ourselves, I was proudly sporting my Jacki fitted tshirt this weekend.

Stoke_Gifford_Red Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Sounds like a good idea. Possibly the cost of the shirt could include a small amount to be used as a prize for the eventual winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Good idea, my money's on Dark Side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dollymarie Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Could also extend it so that anyone who goes travelling or on their hols gets a pic of them in the tshirt next to a famous landmark or random animal or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theyre not allowed out of the country, and as one went to the hamster wheel in the sky last week its a bit of a sore subject right now Something like this? Looks good Madger.

solo1bc Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 What about negative coverage? Court appearances? Riots? chavscum.co.uk?Does that factor into the final count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Perhaps a point scoring system such as;5 points for national TV and/or national newspaper;3 points for local TV and papers;1 point for websites of photos (only 1 point per person per website)Anyone spotted provides evidence to a panel of 3 judges who need to be convinced of the authenticity of the claim (ie if spotted on national TV it would need an independent witness or video evidence to prove the claim to the judges).The Supporters Trust would be happy to get involved with promoting the competition / collecting payments (such as with the paypal button and posting) / holding excess cash to go to the winner etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC Taunton Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Like the design but is it possible to have a collar on them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 If you're going to have a spot the City fan, why not put a big white spot on the Red shirt similar to the DAS logo? Agree with BCFC Taunton about having a collar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Lambley Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 surely tony robinson or trescothick would win it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chivs Posted July 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Something like this?Yes, exactly. If the ST get involved they may want to have their URL on it somewhere?What about negative coverage? Court appearances? Riots? chavscum.co.uk?Does that factor into the final count?Ahh now, this is getting into a murky area. What have I started?Do you get negative points if you appear at a Hunt meeting wearing the famed Spotted t-shirt? What if you appear at a Rovers game with it on? Negative points, or many plus points? This could well be a question of morals rather than an attempt to raise the awareness of BCFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
