    Well done Jon & Nick and everyone who contributed!

    I suggest you send the surplus £1 to @brisbanebantams@brisbanebantams just to prove you're not profiteering ;)

    Looks like I've sorted it - I'll confirm later today with any luck, and put out a letter to press outlets as we discussed, Dave.

    Thanks all!

    Exactly.

    People have been asking for a 'leader' - what they most likely mean is they want a definitive start to affirmative action.

    This is an opportunity to make that start.

    There's nothing to overthink or plan. There's no council, and absolutely no requirement for somebody to lead or unite people. Do, or don't. The only two options available.

    I can't see where not doing anything is going to get us. We've been not doing anything for the past year. We've been horrifically bad the entire time.

    We'll be contacting all the media outlets that covered the Burnley-Man Utd flyover (google them, there's a ton), and drumming up interest nationally.

    Besides the crowd at VP seeing the flyover stunt, it will be flown from Huddersfield right the way over Bradford, so that's a lot of eyeballs and, hopefully, a lot of talk.

    It's easy to say small scale stunts will have the same impact; they won't.

    Besides that, the aim is to embolden City's frustrated fans into taking action themselves. Already, on this forum alone, the idea that there is an actual, solid plan that people are backing seems to have kick-started some action.

    It's like Wimbledon season - everyone suddenly wants to play tennis, Tour de Yorkshire, everyone's a cyclist - if a flyover is possible and fully funded within a few days, it shows how far people will go to make their voice heard, and I'm certain yet more voices will be added to the clamour.

    It's a springboard start.

    And if that's not good enough for ya, thank you anyway for at least considering donating :)

    I don't really believe in it's potential and I don't think it's a good use of £850 either.

    But it's great to see City fans actually achieving something so credit to Jon for kicking it off and all the contributors, I've just chipped in £20 and it's almost there.

    Drop the new CEO at Rochdale a line. Maybe he can arrange a follow up article in Die Zeit and possibly even a similar one by his mate Jeremy Cross at the Star? ;)

    I'm not a fan of the flyover protest but fully respect there are many posters on BT that are and that want this to go ahead. I also agree with you that a protest flyover is a completely different thing and that life must go on - but, I think Stafford raises a valid question and one that should be given further consideration for the following reason;
    It is likely there will be a minutes silence held at every ground in the country before kick off next week. Rahic will jump on any chance he gets to turn the event round to make him look like the good guy and the fans look like insensitive bastards. If you still want the flyover to go ahead next week, could the timing be moved to say 3.30 instead of 3?

    Would it not make more sense to put these questions to the people you are hearing these rumours from?

    i once heard the NHS was getting an extra £350m/week, someone even put it on the side of a bus - that turned out to be bollocks too.

    Keep the banner simple and to the point. Anything else will convolute the message. It just simply needs to read, "EDIN OUT" or "EDIN RAHIC OUT".

    For some reason didn't initially go through so have just re-donated. £20 more to the total.
