Fluminese are in financial difficulty, them or Flamengo i think. What about asking the BBC guy who supports us, Matt Baker?

 

[Ron Manager]

Have we tried @stephenfry yet? He's a Norwich City fan and King of Twitter, a tweet of support from him would send things through the roof believe me.

I think someone said earlier they'd tried him.

Anyone tried Noel Gallagher? Big footie fan and, I guess, loads of followers?

I would do this myself but I don't understand Twitter at all!! :stupidme: If someone wants to pm me step by step instructions I'll tweet every famous footie fan I can think of!

Likewise, I really don't know what I'm doing here. I want to flag this up to US sports writer Bill Simmons. Strange choice you may think but he's a twitter whore, is starting to get in to 'soccer' and would sympathise with us. Please explain.

That was me, but people should keep trying, flood him with requests, he probably gets alot of messages so might not have seen it.

If you want to get someone's attention include their username preceded by @ (ie. @stephenfry) in your tweet. Then it's a matter of hoping they check to see if anyone has mentioned them. You can only send direct messages if you're both following each other. Good Luck!

what does it say?

Roughly...

The downfall of Flu, for me, wouldn't take much to happen. It could be like Southend if Unimed pulled out and left us with all the debts.

Unimed are a massive private healthcare supplier in Brazil; they are certainly Fluminense's shirt sponsor - see below - and from the sounds of it are more closely involved in the club than that.

It's a bit like Col Ewe and Southend, though - as much as I don't like Flu (I was a Menguista), I wouldn't want them to fold.

ESPN basketball journo Mark Stein has come good for us: STEIN_LINE_HQ. He actually loves football and follows Citeh; hence the mention of The Goat. My first Twitter success!

Good work! mine have all been failures so far :'(

Anyone figured out the 'lists' feature yet? I've created a zone/southend one, not sure if you can add yourself to it, or if it will just make it easier to find fellow fans but give it a go...

114 followers, Ken, and picking up speed. Some councillors, and a couple of football orgs, some Notts Co fans (Robin Chipperfield connection), and a labour MP nominee.

I can't do a tremendous amount of work because I'm too young really, but I've been doing what I can on Twitter and Facebook to help awareness!

Is there anything else I can do to help?
