Best screenshot I could get

Thanks for the pic Jim.

I've done a little news story for it...

....ok, maybe I got a little carried away :lol:

excellent news item, AK. Keep up the good work with the pixel campaign.

I can't view this site at work, during my lunch of course !!!

Is there anything on the site that would get it bounced ?

Could be that our webfilter is somewhat "aggressive", but am posting this anyway just in case.

Perhaps the webmaster could take a look !?

I have put a post with link to saverdfc on the Portland Timbers Facebook page. There are almost 50,000 people that 'like' the page, so I thought it was worth a try.

Did you put a link to the article directly? It's aimed at getting Timbers fans to donate.

There could be any number of things that websense doesn't like Steve. I'll have a look but you may just have to wait - sorry

No worries - I can access the site at home, just wanted to show some colleagues at work.

Just wanted to highlight potential issue (for want of a better phrase) with saverdfc that may prevent users from accessing - notwithstanding that it may well be down to our configuration of websense !!

Yep I did. When I linked the article, it came up with a thumbnail picture of the 'flag' at the game at the weekend so it looked pretty good

I see the large donation square has been canceled - disappointing, but not surprising.

Still, a few more donations gone in today I see, and (I think) nearly £700 raised purely through the pixel campaign. Good work, hopefully more will donate. Every little helps.

Nice to see the logos of so many different clubs.

This is the best photo I've seen of the banner which is unfortunate, but it's also in the video below.

The TV replay is in three hours, I wonder if it was visible.

Brilliant Timbers Diamond, thank you for spreading the word.

FAO AndyKirkup, maybe worth emailing this to "Soccer am" on their 3rd eye slot for more exposure!
