A couple dozen of these: Spread through the supporters section, might be a cue to KSE that this was an 'inside job' and maybe even a not so subtle dig at 'the mustache'. If anyone mistakes you for Zlatan Ibrahimovic* and tries to sign you you'll know they must be with some other team. Bring them in with you and when the plane is spotted put them on -- better than paper bags and they might get the television camera operators' attention? $2.52 each w/ free shipping http://www.amazon.com/Guy-Fawkes-V-Vendetta-Mask/dp/B00GDJ1OM0/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1436541465&sr=8-3&keywords=guy fawkes mask *Ibra actually will be in the States but the International Champions Cup, North American fixtures, seem to have skipped Denver altogether: http://www.livesoccertv.com/news/14...s-and-dates-ft-chelsea-vs-barcelona-revealed/
This would be awesome! Please someone make this happen. I can't make the match due to family conflict...but I will be watching on tv later.
UPDATE: $570/$850 done. Let's get the word out and see other fans chip in! $280 left to go. Thanks for your help with this everyone!! Zack
Watching Mike and Mike this morning. They are talking about how fans can influence owners to spend more money. Specifically about gofundme, public shaming, and missing a game. They came to the conclusion that the only way to really get the point across is to somehow get everyone to skip a game. I suspect some of the popular pressure is off the Rapids since they have won 3 in a row. I also suspect it would be nearly impossible to get an entire game of fans to not show up. Just thought it was curious they were talking about exactly this threads purpose. rod.
Yep, that is why I proposed an alternate where folks walked up to concourse after players announced until say minute 5. But again it wouldn't be everyone and might not be enough given the majority of casual fans.
I just don't see how one gets enough people to make a difference. Seems like a lot of the people don't follow close enough to make a difference. Even 1000 people wouldn't be enough to make it look good.
Perhaps I'm off base, but I think the biggest problem with people skipping games is many view games as a social event. A time to gather with like minded friends, drink and have a good time. Oh, there's a soccer game as well, I think.
Not to be that guy (I'm gonna be that guy), but we're still $180 off of the target for fund raising. I have a deep seated hatred of social media, and I'm not in CO so I don't really have any platform to fundraise from. Anyone have a platform they're willing to use to get us to the finish line? Perhaps people will be more interested in contributing after the fact? Is it coincidence that we haven't lost a league game since this thread was started? Of course it is, but I'll be damned if I'm not going to be superstitious about it. We have to fully fund this if the Rapids are going to have a chance at continued success!
WORST NEWS FOR THIS POSSIBLE: Pilot crashed the plane this weekend...no banner now. Tried calling for back-up, no go. No one hurt in the incident... but I was very much looking forward to seeing this happen. Looks like no KSE shaming banner and need to figure how to get everyone their coin back too.... Zack
Wow. that is crazy timing. Saves KSE some face for sure. I was sort of looking forward to seeing how they reacted. rod.
Seems very suspicious... Do we know anything about Hinchey's whereabouts at the time of the incident?
3 events recorded in CO this weekend. I'm guessing it's the 5th one (gear up on landing): http://www.asias.faa.gov/pls/apex/f...,P96_MAKE_NAME,P96_FATAL_FLG:27-JUL-15,CESSNA
ALL WHO DONATED $$$ FOR THIS, please check the link: http://www.gofundme.com/KSEOUTBanner and get me a contact method for refunds. Super bummer about this...next ASG I guess
I hope there never is another occasion for this, although a congratulation banner for winning the treble would be a nice occasion (a man can dream)
Hmm, where it is possible, would guy really live in Cody, WY who does it? http://flightaware.com/resources/registration/N5199U I have a bit of me thinking KSE caught wind of this and paid off company, don't worry I added a second tin foil hat to protect myself in posting this .
Good question. The other two incidents in CO this weekend were in Westcliffe and Hayden. Figured Longmont was a better bet for a company that provides service in Denver, but I could be wrong.
Hmm, Deshorn Brown's not around any longer, maybe Pittinari's shot hit the plane? Edit: oh right, a Watts clearance did it!
