I think this is a great idea and shows that we mean business.
Someone in the 'Dubai to make Liverpool Bid' thread has proposed taking out an ad in the local media to get our (the fan's) message accross. Personally think its a bloody good idea as it WILL get noticed by everyone and will definately be picked upon as a news story by the national and hopefully international media.
I've been posting this in another thread and will just copy my post from there:
Liverpool Echo: £ 1,879.52
Liverpool Daily Post: £ 685
Daily Post All Editions: £ 977.84
Lads THESE^ are the rates we should be looking at (x4 for a full page)
I can possibly get the Dubai Reds (Bob/Russell/Graham are you reading?) to chip in.
Reason I believe its better booking it from here in Dubai is that we (the ad agency i work for) have a good working relationship with Echo for the past number of years and have regularly placed ads with them for clients - which means I should be able to (fingers crossed) get a good deal on the rate as well as sacrifice our agency commission (15%). Add to that another 17.5% which we will save by not paying VAT as we're not based in the UK and we should be able to get a good deal.
Mind you it completely depends on The Echo as they can reject anything they believe is offensive etc, so best thing would be to decide on what the ad will be about, create it, and have it ready for Monday morning so I can get the guys at the echo to look at it and negotiate a good rate. We will need to pay by Wednesday for the ad to appear on Friday.
