Banner Time! COME PLAY 2011 - 2021 Campaign.

Edit:

In the interests of allowing Google to index this page (Mod/Admin may be able to assist by posting up a small piece about what Come Play 2011-2021 is all about) I have renamed the thread title. This is in anticipation of people Googling for it if they happen to catch a look and are confused.

Come Play 2011 - 2021 is a play on the Australian World Cup bid slogan, coined to support the Wellington Phoenix's bid for a 10 year guarantee of its place in the A-League. The Wellington Phoenix is obviously worth a lot to us New Zealand football fans, and the crowd numbers have proved that we are worth a lot to FFA and the A-League too.

More cleverer people will go through the reasons why the 'Nix should remain in the A-League.

Original post to this thread (about 'Nix support banners) appears below:

After the response I got having said I wouldn't make a banner this time around, the guilt has overcome me.I really am short of time but if someone has a brilliant idea for a banner and doesn't have the means or time to do it, then I would be happy to plagiarise your idea and make it mine.I have access to:White sheetBlack spray paintI am thinking about doing something simple (given time restraints) in black lettering on a yellow sheet. Obviously this involves dying my white sheet yellow but I presume this is a fairly easy task??Anyway, I've got the fever once again and I just can't shake it. Help me out here guys P.S. What banners are you guys planning for Sunday?

White sheet + yellow dye + washing machine = yellow sheet

even just "welcome to the fortress"

so we can use it for every game

Wellington- Outer Australia since 2007

Possibles:

"F*ck Bin Hamman"

no expletives allowed tom (unless you're purposely trying to piss off the stadium security)

in fact a friend made a 'here's to a bloody good season', and they were getting hung up on 'bloody'

Hey I just had a thought - if I made a (nice) statement to FFA about Phoenix in the A-League, then could it be deemed "Political" and banned?? ahmad2010-02-25 19:44:09

are you allowed hate?

what about"We give Curry, you give 10 year extension"

I was thinking...

a kangaroo saying 'Come Play 2018/2022'

Then a couple of players in stripeys saying 'but we don't have a licence'

Wouyld make it myself, but I won't have the time. Feel free to steal it

Hmmm thinking of making one too perhaps? Don't know what either...   

Something political? Otherwise an Ifill or brown sign. Or even captain fantastic or manny. Hmmm

Any ideas for player related signs?

Cheers mate. Unfortunately my kangaroo would end up looking like a giraffe due to a deficiency of artistic talent.

the daniel/diego fan club im pretty sure

Not sure but it is there every week.

Do they believe that Daniel or Diego might get a start one day?

I am quite keen to work "Yellow Fever" into the slogan if at all possible (and if it hasn't already been done to death since 2007).

Whoop whoop! Someone just offered me an old yellow curtain!

Anyone got some spare cable ties lying around or ones they can borrow from their workplace?

Phoenix ticket $30
Phoenix Playoff revenue 1.7 million
10 year licence - Priceless

Revenue is just a guess obviously.

Fixed.

What about this on a banner:-

Did I just imagine posting or did a post of mine get deleted?

What about:

10 MORE YEARS

Oh I see, somehow it got posted to the wrong thread!

Then what about 'F**k bin Hamman' in Arabic? I'm sure no security guards speak Arabic at the stadium. Tho I'm not really willing to risk it.

Anyone else noticed his name is Bin Ham Man? Picture of a man holding ham in a rubbish bin springs to mind...especially effective when pork is looked down upon in Islam. Apologies to anyone I've offended who is Muslim

going slightly off topic but maybe we could have a Big Yellow & Blag Flag at the front of the Fever like the cove and the northern terrace have. Of course it would only happen if people have time and the stuff required.

Just a suggestion.

How about:

 

How about:

Here's the address:

Wellington Phoenix FC
Top Floor
Phoenix Towers
cnr Hunter St and Jervois Quay
Wellington
New Zealand

Attn: T Serepisos/T Pignata


Now send us our licence


(please).

What's with all these bitchy banner ideas, not what anyone wants to see during the elation of game day. Ahmad, I really like "10 More Years", it makes the point positively. If you want to be political or licensey - that's the way to go. Otherwise how about just a message of support for the lads?

Any other thoughts on:

How about WE WANT 10! Bit of cheeky double meaning

Wellington - we're just a small town in Aussie.

Don't be cheeky BP, someone will get the wrong idea

Actually South Aussie, on the banks of the Murray... and in NSW also, west of the Blue Mtns... fyi

It's not that I don't like the Mastercard idea, but it's more a case of I don't have much time to put that much lettering on the banner (and it would be quite small lettering to get it all on.

I am quite keen to incorporate YF if possible so what about:

CAN'T SHAKE THE
YELLOW FEVER

There's no cure for YELLOW FEVER!

(so you just gotta live with us).
