Announcing THE 2008 WEST END SA FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

[eaglehaslanded]

Have ordered mine already and I can't wait to receive it. It's a steal at that price.

[Squawk]

Is there going to be a book launch of any sort? Maybe a few Coopers and a footy pie somewhere?

[phantom57]

How about the season opener at Norwood on Coopers Hill......but be early cos the Coopers will probably all be gone by half time!!!!

[Wedgie]

Already has over 40 pre ordered for this quality publication and they havent got out of the printers yet! Make sure you pre order your copy through SAFooty ASAP to ensure you're not disappointed!

Phantom ... you are not too far off the mark.

Plans are to have a launch either
- pregame at Norwood on opening night (maybe 6pm start at one of the bars)
or
- something at a hotel on the Thursday Night.

Just looking to finalise something with the Redlegs.

Stay tuned.

If you are looking for maximum impact , 6pm at Norwood won't get it. I reckon contact every club and ask them to email their members , it should also be part of the SANFL launch and if you want to do it at Norwod , 1/4 1/2 3/4 time on the oval as it will be the biggest crowd of the round anyway ( and should always be the season opener as recent crowds suggest and should dictate but thats another story)

Your looking to finalise something with Norwood????

What does the naming rights sponsor think????

[PhilH]

Thanks for the ideas OCT.

The idea of the launch is that it would be a "small" affair mainly as a thank you involving those that had contributed to the book.

Anything on a larger scale is probably beyond what Peter & I can put together this time of year.

Fair point re the Naming Rights Sponsor ... might need a rethink on that one.

[OCT]

Thats fair enough. I hope it goes well for you, I will be grabbing one. I reckon you should take it to the next level though , but there are lots of things to consider which I appreciate.

Nothing to lose by asking...would think the worst that can happen is they say 'no'.

Ive closed off the pre-orders, thanks for the great demand, we had almost 50 orders and payment.
Just awaiting address details from 3 people and all people's information will be handed onto Peter and Phil and hopefully will be posted out this week!

[redandblack]

Why wait for the last 3? Will pre-ordering get delivered any earlier than when it is generally available?

All names, addresses and payments have already been sent. I was waiting on 3 people's addresses before I finish my end of the business in regard to pre-orders and will be forwarding them onto Peter when those people get back to me (only one left now).
In regard to when you get them you'd have to ask them I think they're expecting them back from the printers tomorrow so hopefully out during the week.

Also, now that pre-orders have been completed the price will go up to $25.00 plus P&H ie $29.95 if they want it sent out to them, I'll put up a new button for those who missed out on pre-orders this week.

[PhilH]

THE BOOK HAS ARRIVED !!!

- For those who have pre-ordered they are on their way.

- For those who want to order over the net, Wedgie will put the link back up shortly.

- For those not ordering on the web you can purchase for $25 from about Thursday / Friday this week
- at the Football Budget sellers at the games
- At The Toss Of A Coin - Unley Road Malvern
- Melbourne Sports Books - Flinders Street, Melbourne
- Selected ABC Shops
- Selected SANFL Clubs (we hope)

- I will be sending out a note to all contributors shortly but
- Peter & I will be at Coopers Stadium from 6pm at the Premiers Bar to shout those who have helped out there with a drink or two.
- The Launch Proper (not that it will be a formal affair) will be 12 noon to 1pm in the downstairs bar at Prospect Oval on Saturday prior to the North v Eagles game.


Thanks to all those who have assisted or supported the project.

Peter & I am very happy with how it looks.

Should we generate enough publicity it should be a winner.

Cheers
PhilH

[Wedgie]

Cool, great stuff, cya Saturday Phil!
