Had we blown our wad on a billboard, we would have essentially created a message that criticized the organization for 3 weeks for something they already got taken care of.

Conversely, had Clark come out and made a statement, it could have affected the message we wanted to put out. Had Clark given Pioli an ultimatum of win or GTFO, I personally... would not have wanted a semi-permanent message bashing them for an extended period of time.

I understand that people did not donate to give to charity. That was always the fallback for the end run but as it stands, we don't even have enough money to fly but just one more plane. In order to fly the last 2 home games, we will need more donations... so it isn't like I have been holding out on spending just to make sure that there is something to give to charity at the end.

Valid points. But the public doesn't understand our message. We have to do better.

Listened to Fesco this am. Both him and the other guy are on board with SOC but they talked about the misunderstanding of what the SOC was about, what is our goals. Our principles and plan to get there.

Now this isn't SOC's fault. Most Chief fans dont care or know the issues in the detail that we do. But, we need them. Together is powerful. We have us hard core fans on board. We need the other fans that will make a difference and give the perception that its a movement, not a isolated and minority group of fans. We need to think outside of the box to generate publicity.

We are attempting to move a multimillionaire off his position in his business that is making him $30-40 million a year. We have to give him a reason to change his view on our ideas.

Mellinger talking about how the black out will be the most interesting thing to watch for Sunday.

LMAO

Did you guys hear Maas on 810 today? He was talking about SOC. He supports the idea and thinks its a good thing. His big idea for SOC is to get people to agree to an increase in parking fees of say $20 and then 30K agree to that increase and now you have $8 million. SOC goes to Clark Hunt with this $8 million in its pocket and tells Clark we want this guy to come here and here's our money to prove it.

Why should WE pay for HIS mistake?

Someone is bad at math and Clark should be grateful for every dollar people are spending on that pathetic organization. Not many companies can get away with being so terrible for so long and still be in business, much less have former employees talking on the radio about how we should throw more money at the problem. :facepalm:

When did Mass become the mouthpiece for CHunt?

Just a question...how much would we need to raise to get a billboard that just says

SaveOurChiefs.com

We Deserve Better

That would be a worthy expenditure that I'd be absolutely willing to chip in a couple hundy for.

Updated OP w/new financial report:

Expenditures:
10/7 Banner - $625.00
10/28 Banners - $1,250.00
11/16 Flyers - $375.55
11/16 Banner - $900.00
11/18 Banner - $575.00

Current Paypal Balance: $740.62
Total Donations Received: $4,466.17

-------------

With the banner flying over the Bengals game, we only have enough dough for one more banner (Broncos game) with $115 left over. If we are going to fly the rest of the year, we need to raise another $1,150. Those of you who pledged a second round... we are likely going to need it. WE have yet to determine the amount of donations we are going to get from Sports Nutz from the sale of the shirts. As soon as I have those numbers, I will update again.

ps, posted financials on FB

k will send more in...

We could be fighting cancer or feeding the homeless. derp derp

I thought it was insane. He's making $30-40 million profit, he's already rich but, if we raised another $8 million to give him, he might listen to SOC and get a player we want in FA? WTF? :facepalm:

Does Maas have a half fried brain from football?
