A possible fundraiser for games behind closed doors?

Saw these over the weekend at the NRL games and someone said there was one of Harold Shipman. Must be honest and say I didn't see it myself.

There were a few mass murderers in the crowd too.

The OP topic title indicated to me that this was a thread about Whinos fans so, therefore, shouldn't it be in Anything RL/Fans of other clubs...? :-)

Didn’t the Rabbitohs charge $22 for the cardboard cut outs to have a supporters picture on? I’m sure it was reported that one had a photo of Dominic Cummings...

He was testing his eyesight by flying to Australia to take in some live RL. Just like I test my ability to drive in France by driving the wrong way up the A1.
He was there alongside some mass murderers, Carole Baskin (she doesn’t fall within the ‘MASS murderer’ criteria), Joe Exotic (segregated from Baskin) and Harry Potter.

Wonder if the ones Wigan use will be programmed to get up and walk towards a exit 20 minutes from the hooter ?

I've heard Salford have made enquiries as to the availability of the supporters...

It’s a decent enough idea.

Maybe 100-300 fans would take it up and be on Sky.

£10 a card ?

I’d use a card of an old MILF with Hudds Tiger emblazoned on it. 😂😂 (joke mate)

It's gotta be done if we start off the season again behind closed doors. Love to see the inventiveness of some clubs fans 🤔 but I bet the whinos would go for 3d just to show how most of the glory seeking tw**s would look 🤔 probably better than the real life glory seeking tw**s no doubt 😁 oh and cos the glory seeking tw**s can allegedly afford it, NOT 😁

Be a bit embarrassing for the pie eaters when the cardboard cut outs start leaving ten minutes before the end. :D

Bit generous is that. They've been well know to start evacuating 20 minutes early.

I'd hope there'd be scope for collaborative efforts, say for families to put a group of characters all sat together; the Teletubbies, Seven dwarfs, or maybe favourite bands.

The very first thing I thought as well.

Honestly I'd join in it would be a laugh that's for sure. But I reckon most would be blocked out for Sky.

Maybe the club could sell ‘blocks’ to local businesses for a few hundred quid each? A banner with the company name goes in front of their block. I’d be interested for my company - I have 18 staff so would let each member of staff do their own, could be fun.

I like the idea of the cutouts and igloos quite good at the games we have seen. Not thing is how would they do it on the terraces with the same effect? Most of the ones we have seen are in all seater stadium so not sure terracing would work the same..

Would be interested in doing it though. A good fun way to raise a few quid and something for the fans to look for when it’s on tv.
