Has anyone ever said what size this flag was gonna be?

[casso36]

Has anyone ever said what size this flag was gonna be?

13 x 4 meters!!!

[pineapple stu]

That's way out of proportion, surely?

2x1 is the proportion for the tricolour, as far as I know.

What evere looks best is what i told them, and they said this was perfect, but we can sort that when we get all donations in!!!

[Block G Raptor]

My Feckin' credit card is Maxxed so I'll talk nicely to her in doors tonight and see if ican use hers !:o
will have it payed for the end of the week either way

[paul_oshea]

im getting paid next week and will add to it then. haven't forgotten just no money after the states.

[blobbyblob]

Can I suggest that use the money gathered to fund the "staunton and delaney out" campaign - you would do ireland a great service and the nation would be eternally grateful

not sure of the list but dont think this falg should be hijacked by someone that wasnt gonna be suppoertive although i dont entirely disagree witht he idea!!!

2000 hankerchiefs with delaney/stan out!!! printed on them...

to be handed out b4 the match

[blobbyblob]

1. I didnt put money in as I am in possession of a very large hinderance already

2. I am very supportive of your efforts and Im not hijacking anything. I never said "we".

3. The comment was made tongue in cheek. Sorry to upset you.

Not Looking to good!! Is it?

[dahamsta]

How about setting a closing date and going with the biggest banner you can get at that time?

[pineapple stu]

Sounds better than just giving up.

Would it be possible to get it by the San Marino home game? If not, then the launch should be the San Marino away game (7th Feb), and the thread should close when we need to start ordering the flag for then.

[supasparx]

Best thing to do imo.

[casso36]

Sounds like a good idea!!!

How about end of October, if not all recieved by then?

Can you PM everyone that offered donations on the thread
just in case they all forgot about it!!!!

[dahamsta]

How about end of novemer, if not all recieved by then?Does that give enough time to have it manufactured and delivered before the 15th?


Can you PM everyone that offered donations on the thread
just in case they all forgot about it!Absolutely not, they've had ample opportunity and reminders already.

[dahamsta]

BTW, to the person that pledged a multiple pledge of €140 and anyone that said they posted a cheque, I didn't receive any. I've only received one cheque, and that's accounted for.

adam

[dahamsta]

Updated banner loaded into rotation. I'll post an announcement too.

[eirebhoy]

I've asked on a Celtic forum and for £570 (€840) you should be getting:


At least 50' x 20', or in modern speak, 15m x 5m......depends on the material & how ornate the logo is though?!

I'd say we have enough to get a decent flag anyway.

[dcfcsteve]

I've only just discovered this thread (that'll teach me never to notice Stickies...!).

Any design for the banner yet ? I can't face trawling through 11 pages I'm afraid - I did the first 2 and my head's already fried.....

[dahamsta]

Umm, first post Steve?

[beautifulrock]

Are we going to see a list of all those who have paid?

[dahamsta]

I don't think so. I'm not a big fan of name-and-shame. If people don't want to donate, even after pledging, that's their lookout.

[beautifulrock]

was thinking of ensuring that everyone who contributed was on the flag, basically a check list.

[dahamsta]

I've been keeping track of it in Google Spreadsheets; that's how the running total is being generated.

[A face]

Can someone post the payment details, or tell me what page its on or soemthing?

[dahamsta]

Ah come on face, it's in the first bloody post man!

[dahamsta]

Well, we broke €900 anyway. Strictly speaking it should be €800, as my transaction donation's supposed to be taken out of that, but I'll make up the difference.

I still haven't received any of those cheques that were promised. I hope they weren't lost in the post or eaten by the dog. :)

adam

[razor]

threw €20 in through Paypal

[dahamsta]

Right, the final total of donations for the banner was €830, plus the €100 I pledged to pay for transaction costs. casso36, can you talk to that crowd to see what can be done for that price. As I said the other day, if a few quid extra will take us up a notch, I'll make up the difference, but do me a favour and ask for prices before you tell them our budget. I have a list of names for the banner here, and I'll pay them directly when I get an invoice, electronically or by cheque, whichever they'd prefer.

Thanks to everyone that donated, it's still a huge amount all things considered.

Thanks,
adam

[casso36]

Right all,

Flag may not be ready for Ireland - San Marino Game. But is in the process of being designed by maker.

Please note that size of flag has been reduced to 20' x 6' at a cost of €570.00 + Vat@21%. = €689.70. The total required for bigger flag was not met! so this was the next best thing. I would like to suggest to send remainder of balance to Charity if thats ok? with everyone else.

I'd like to thank all who donated, didn't really think it would happen, but hey! well done all.

Names will be printed on rear of flag around edges, i think there was 29 in total.

[eirebhoy]

That's a very expensive flag casso. Is the material extra special or just a case of rip off Ireland? :)

http://www.footballbanners.co.uk/index.html
http://www.barmyflags.co.uk/

If if was up to me I'd get one of our UK based members to have a flag delivered to his house and bring it over for the next home game if possible.

[casso36]

Probably rip off Ireland!!

But hey they have to put the Logo and Names on it also!!:D

I'm sure it will be the real mccoy!! and not some ****ty material

Anyway i tried me best!!!;) :(

[aidz1]

a 20' x 6' flag for €690!!!!:eek:
that sounds ridiculusly expensive

in euro2 shop you can buy a 5' x 3' tricolour for a bargain €2
with a score, a few of them with a bit of sellotape ..........;)

[Peadar]

20' x 6' is very long and narrow.
Do you intend to hang it up somewhere?

An alternative would be to get some smiple anti-FAI banners done up.

FFS!!! Get off me back!!;)

It will be a proper Flag, none of that cheap ****e!!!

All these post's saying very epensive! very expensive!!
I know it is, thats why we had the collection. If i could
have got one cheaper i would have. 20 x 6 the only alternative size
they do.

So why not do my suggestion if it isn't too late? :)

[Poor Student]

Would it not be a better idea to keep on collecting if it can't be ready for the San Marino game? It's a long time until the next game.

[casso36]

Too late!! And it's up to People who donate to decide!!!

It will be great when it's ready!!!

[casso36]

The Collection is finished now!!! Because a lot of people that offered
a Donation opted out in the end. We decided to put time scale on it and
it ended on 31/10/2006.

I'll talk to the flag company and see if they can make it bigger for price!!
thats all i can do!!

[supasparx]

I'm happy with the proposed flag size.
Had everyone who pledged money actually donated it, we wouldn't be discussing this!:rolleyes:

[dahamsta]

Obviously we didn't hit the target so since there's no pressure now, I'd like to review possibilities. Apparently dimensions isn't as strict as casso36 was led to believe, so first of all should we go for something with flag or banner dimensions?

No offence but I thought this was already decided upon before we even started donating. I was under the impression it was to be a flag with the foot.ie logo in the middle.
To be honest all I was hoping for was something big to raise above the crowd before kick off. A-la French fans with the big jersey.
