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.

Updated banner loaded into rotation. I'll post an announcement too.
I've asked on a Celtic forum and for £570 (€840) you should be getting:
I'd say we have enough to get a decent flag anyway.Quote:
At least 50' x 20', or in modern speak, 15m x 5m......depends on the material & how ornate the logo is though?!
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.....
Umm, first post Steve?
Are we going to see a list of all those who have paid?
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.
was thinking of ensuring that everyone who contributed was on the flag, basically a check list.
I've been keeping track of it in Google Spreadsheets; that's how the running total is being generated.
Can someone post the payment details, or tell me what page its on or soemthing?
Ah come on face, it's in the first bloody post man!
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
threw €20 in through Paypal
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
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.
That's a very expensive flag casso. Is the material extra special or just a case of rip off Ireland? :)

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.
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!!!;) :(
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 ..........;)
20' x 6' is very long and narrow.
Do you intend to hang it up somewhere?
Between the goalposts, defence needs all the help it can get:D :DQuote:

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? :)Quote:

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

I'll talk to the flag company and see if they can make it bigger for price!!
thats all i can do!!
I'm happy with the proposed flag size.
Had everyone who pledged money actually donated it, we wouldn't be discussing this!:rolleyes:
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?
adam
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.Quote:

It was decided, casso36 posted dimensions a month ago, which had banner dimensions and that seems to have been fine with everyone.
However when he posted sized-down dimensions last week to match the lower budget, several people complained that it had banner dimensions (long and thin), not flag dimensions (2:1).
So, flag dimensions or banner dimensions?

If it is flag it will cost an extra €140.00 for the 20 x 10 size.
Want to try get done before he decides to up price!!
My mates said they will bring it with them to San Marino game if not to heavy!! Or if anyone that donated wants to bring it then let me know and i can deliver it to them when finished.
Slightly late, but I have sent my €20 as promised.
The flag has already been made as far as I'm aware, the manufacturer is just waiting on payment, which I've sent to casso36. If it hasn't, casso36 will see if your handle can be added; if not I'll refund your payment. I'm removing the payment page from the site now.
adam
No worries. I had forgotten about it to be honest!
The banner has been completed so I've refunded your donation, thanks anyway.
Right!!!
All who donated to FLAG!! Take a bow, just collected it and looks very impressive, and very BIG!!! But not too heavy, not heavy at all.
Have it in my car and will be put up in the press until San Marino Game. As i've said in previous thread mate said he will bring it with him and yous can all meet up over there. We can arrange at later date.
If anyone wants to use it before then will have to collect it from me.
Well done everyone!!!!!
Well done casso, dahamsta and everyone who donated! Any chance of a photo of it whenever you have a chance?
Will do after crimbo!!!! have a good one everyone!!!!Quote:
