Sorry Pegan,

No cash taken by me!!!
You'll have to arrange with adam,
Or check out the first post by him on this donations thread.

I live in Cork and I'm not mad about the cash idea either. I think I made it pretty easy for people to make a donation tbh.

Speaking as someone responsible for carrying a pretty big flag(15m x 5m) - Apart from the craic, Its a pain in the arse - a logistical nightmare and a hinderance. For something that big, youre talking about 60 seconds exposure before people no longer want to be under a flag and want to get on with the game. On match days, you turn into a flagsitter rather than thinking about the game. You can talk about taking turns about managing the flag but it doenst work out like that in reality.

Take this advice or throw it away - but i would find out what 730 snots buys you at this stage.

Trust me - unless you are gonna get the FAI involved with carting the flag about for you, I wouldnt go too big. (Which might not be a bad idea. )

lazy lazy me!! cheque in the post - fair play lads for organising it!
26/09/2006, 3:44 PM

BTW, obviously we're not going to make the next match now, however with the €160 cheque in the post, plus galwayhoop's donation, we'll be pretty close to €1000 next week. In all honestly I didn't think we'd get anything close to that, but I'm pretty optimistic we can reach the total now. Perhaps a wee Tell A Friend campaign is in order?

I will follow through on my promise to offer refunds to everyone that's donated thus far btw - I'll send an email next week - but I can't see anyone asking for it at this stage.

I have the same size flag and it's a pain in the a*se, especially when the match is over and you want to go for a few beers. Last year at the Cyprus game it went up for about 10 seconds at most and people started complaining about not seeing the players warm up(which I suppose is fair enough). Same happened in Tel Aviv.

Sorry about the delay with my payment. I'm having difficulty with my online banking and am only back from Edinburgh. It'll be paid asap.

What about some strategically placed "SLITS" so the moaners can stick their heads through!!:D

That's way out of proportion, surely?

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

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

did you put money in yourself blobby?

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
09/10/2006, 3:17 PM

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.

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

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.

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!!!!

Does that give enough time to have it manufactured and delivered before the 15th?

Absolutely not, they've had ample opportunity and reminders already.
