Proposal - International Series
By: shanahanpj Date: October 17, 2012, 11:47 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
I put an 'angry face' icon, as I swore to myself I'd have this
done by last week! Work commitments had it lying on my desk the
past week awaiting proof reading, which may have been a blessing
in disguise as I was later able to go back and edit some things
after the announcement of the second IS game at Wembley next
year.
Anyway, without further adieu here's my take on the proposal!
Its a bit wordy I'm afraid (I was an English/Business major) but
hopefully everything we covered is in there, in addition to a
couple other things I thought of that could do with some
expanding on in further revisions.

Well written. Thanks for putting it up Phil.
Some interesting factors in there that I didn't think of as I am
a few stops away from Wembley.
I think we need to add the break down of points at the end.
Include the ideas for improving the IS experience (not just the
merch stalls) and the idea of building/growing the wider fan
base through an 'NFLUK fan club' stall, which could filter back
from the IS to local communities.
I don't think the rest has to be in an essay, but could be a
series of bullet points with brief introductions.

i have noticed recently and have been messaged on it by fans,
that they would love to have blocks/areas dedicated to teams for
the improvement of home field advantage. I think that would work
well next year especially with teams that are coming over.
I think having the meeting now in November is better especially
on the I.s subject.

Yes Elidih or RDWNGS on the boards has expressed the idea of
dedicated block(s) to the home team in order to bolster
support.. I think this is a good idea.
I would like to raise a seperate issue - the NFLUK fantasy game
is causing a stir for a second season with 'on the scratch'
doing seemingly very well again. . now I am not suggesting the
guy is hacking or interfering with the game to represent himself
in a winning light.. however I tihnk this needs to be looked at
and addressed in order to placate some of the more vocal
elements...people need to hear from the top if this game is
kosha or if there is any suspicion of wrong doing or if there
has been an investigation that has been proven negative. . I
agree with some that it does look suspicious but it may well be
that he really is better than the professionals that make a
living from this avenue - in terms of advice such as Fabiano on
NFL.com and is doing better than those 'celebs' and
players/coaches that also play such as Reinbald etc. .

Hi Shaun
I have brought this up with the other mods regarding "Still on
the scratch"

Cheers Mark - I don't assume he is guilty but it does appear he
is very very good on a consistent basis and given that there are
a few who are 'shouting' the odds we need some kind of
intervention to shut it down.

I agree, the delay of the next meeting is absolutely better in
terms of us presenting a proposal to the guys.
Unfortunately I'm not attending the IS game this year, so I
won't be able to see for myself what kinds of things are going
on at the Tailgate/Rally etc. If somebody wants to make notes
whilst there and send them for me to update the document, or if
someone wants to update it themselves, I'm cool either way.
Glad you guys enjoyed it. I agree with Chris though, it would
definitely benefit from some bullet points at the end.

I am the same Phil, not being there. But I am sure any
problems/comments will be flagged here or on the NFLUK site,
which we can add to the points.

I have an additional doc with the IS proposal. Could be added as
a supplement to the end of Phil's report.
Opinions?
Cheers
Chris
