Colonel Kurtz Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 good site However you now need to move your target audience from those committed to those who might have a passing interest. It is a savage indictment of Scottish education that the average attention span is a MTV style soundbyte. You need a slogan which is short and recognisable in a headline,Ewan murrays article on Sunday was excellent,but could you imagine the average tabloid reader getting past the first couple of paragraphs. I have already suggested the TV option and the program would jump at this issue as it ticks all the right boxes All the very best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Bill Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I hope it doesn't have to come to it, but if there's some sort of demo planned then I will be there. Buffalo Bill . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The support is welcome, BB, but I'm not sure about demos. We intend to conduct ourselves with the utmost dignity - something that has been lacking in (both) the Council's proposals and their somewhat inconsistent and ill-judged responses to questioning over the past week. The Memorial is like a grand old lady. We'll treat her with the care and respect that she deserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you at least consider a 'match day' movement of people from say, Tynecastle to Haymarket - if required? A good point could be made. Buffalo Bill .

The best 'demo' you can take part in just now is spreading the word, getting signatures on the petition etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelly Terraces Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Have the council reneged on their promise to move it to the new site at Haymarket then, and are going to keep the WM at Atholl Cres permo? Not having that. Will do anything required to keep the WM in a place of the utmost prominence within this city. Good luck Jack, and well done with the website, really top effort.

May I suggest that perhaps the best "demo" would be for people to turn out in large numbers for the ceremony on Remembrance Sunday? Let's show the world what the Memorial really means.

Just making sure as many Hearts fans as possible appear at this year's remembrance service would be, imo, a fine demonstration to the council. Fine work as always Jack.

Fair enough Gambo I was unaware of their planned "clandestine" meeting. I wonder if interested members of the public can attend said meeting?
