It's from a Saturday morning TV prog on Sky (Soccer AM). Quite funny actually in a laddish kind of way (and Helen Chamberlain is a good sight on a saturday morning).
They started a national campaign - seems to have caught on
(the bit I'm guessing at) I think Sarah was trying to stop Chip from watching football (was that the gist of it Donut?)

Yes, Sarah doen't want Chip to watch football. When a game is on the TV she wants him to go shopping, or take a walk in the county and visit obscure lighthouses!
Chip appealed to SoccerAM for help and they launched a national campaign. Amazingly this has really taken off. To show support for Chip all you have to take a flag or poster to a football match and try to get it on TV. What has happened is that people have taken posters to all sorts of sporting events, Cricket, Rugby, Horse Racing, Rowing etc, and from around the world, football in Spain & Italy, a baseball match in the US. Countries showing support also include Austria, France, Bosnia, Sri Lanka and South Africa. Support was also seen at the Brazilian Grand Prix and a scoreboard on a new Playstation football game. The list is endless.
Then it spread to non sporting events. Anywhere there are news cameras around someone will be there to support Chip, people with save Chip signs followed Tony Blair all over the country during the General Election campaign.
If you want to see how widespread this has become
this is the official Save Chip site. There are many other official sites.
If you are a sports love, please help to spread the word.
