FIFA 20 - The National League

[stoneslive]

I know this isn't directly to do with the Stones but hope I'll be allowed to put it on here in the hope that fans will support it.

I received the following email on Monday:

Dear Stones Live,

I represent Vanarama’s PR team. Vanarama and The National League are running a campaign to get The National League included on the next version of FIFA, FIFA 20. This campaign will involve an online petition, a press release and a video to be shared on social media (Twitter).

We want this to be a grass-root fan led campaign and would love to have Stones Lives and Maidstone United’s fans on board.

EA Sports: “Get us in the game”

CAMPAIGN OVERVIEW

The Vanarama National League is launching a campaign to get proper football (The Vanarama National League) featured in FIFA 2020.

We want people to support the campaign and sign a petition and share a campaign video.
We’re close to onboarding the original EA Sports VO guy (Andrew Anthony), the man behind the infamous “EA Sports it’s in the Game” (please click the link if you’re not sure what we mean) - to record “EA Sports get us in the game” in support of the campaign and to feature in the video.
Supporters of National League clubs will be invited to record their own video version (on their phones) of that slogan (“EA Sports – Get Us in the Game”),

HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT THE CAMPAIGN (THANK YOU)

Your support would be enormously appreciated:

We’d like you to get a handful of your fellow fans on camera saying our slogan “EA Sports get us in the game”. If you could then share this video content with us we’ll then include these recordings in our overall video.
We’d like a quote from you supporters club chairman to be included in our press release.
We’d like you to drum up support for the campaign and get fellow supporters to sign the online petition.
We’d like you to push out our press release story and petition link on your website and social accounts to support this campaign.
We’d like you to share our video on your social accounts.

Would it be possible to get a few fan videos saying “EA Sports get us in the game” and a quote from your supporters club chairman on why it would be great to have The National League on FIFA 20? We’d need this by Wednesday 20th March 12pm if possible.

Your help with this would be super, super appreciated! Appreciate it’s a tight turn around.

Let me know your thoughts.

Kind Regards,

Sam

They want it by midday yesterday but I may not have the tardis back as it is in for it's 10,000 year service.

Clearly a wind up.

Do we really need to be reminded how much interest we will have in the National League in 2020?

[hongkongstone]

Whilst the website checks out the deadline is unrealistic.

Has anyone done any due diligence as to whether any other NL clubs have received similar?

Why contact Stoneslive and not the club directly?

Hmmmmmmmm.......please excuse my skepticism

[Tstone]

Hope you've not given them your bank details!

I think this is a great idea as I play fifa (bias i know) but it would raise the profile of clubs such as ours as many people do 'career modes' where u become the the manager of a team and try and take them to the top, this fifa (19) has made Macclesfield very popular with people trying to get them to win the Champions League etc. You can do so many different things such as 'kick off' where u choose to teams around the world and play with somebody. They probably contacted stones live as they are the media section of the club and if they contacted the clubs directly some clubs with dinosaurs in suits may reject it and they want the people that would use it to campaign for it. Many of u have just dismissed this video game lark as u have never played it but as the club is gaining more young fans, just look at the genco stand for example, it could be a real driving force. It could also raise awareness of non-league football and stop teams like North Ferriby collapsing for peanuts. However I would have thought that it would have the north and south in it to?

Does anyone know if stones tv have received anything like this?

Can it really be that hard to write 'you'?
