New drums and flags

[sorry just want something to talk about beside sean....]

the 2 badhrons did the job but we need something bigger louder and better....what are the websites and alan where did ye get the last one...how much??id love to have one and use one but im not the richest man in the world["he's only on petrol money"-roddy collins] and cant afford one by myself cos i can guess the cost is high!

maybe if we got the old one repaired and then collect as a group to get another..2 drums would do nicely for 2007....its the bitoredxp goal to get the main stand singing properly for 2007 season...2 drums could help

also im looking at getting a flag made and was wondering if anyone knows any good websites for them....also ideas on what to put on them would be good

cheers

A megaphone would be a good idea! I seen the Derry fans with one!
That would help get the stand singing for once i'd say!

I've seen a new marching band drum for 180. It'd be more suitable for the purpose than an ordinary bass, because it's specifically for the purpose, so a bit sturdier.
I've also seen a 10-watt megaphone for 42 euro - should be plenty loud enough.

Anyone seen better prices?

Excellent idea - I'm well with you on this. I can't get to Sligo that often to make much noise myself, but anything I can do in terms of info or ideas . . .

add a fiver onto the bus cost to bray for everyone and it'll make a tidy sum!

+ collection = new drum!

I find them grand...they do the job and you can get 4 of them for the price of one in Ireland.

Any news on anyone getting a megaphone for the new season?
Now that would add to the atmosphere.

I know where they have them for about 40 euro.

Another thing I could get hold of is red & white checkered flags, 5ft x 3ft, for 2 euro each.
You could get a bunch of them separately, or . . . as they're pretty lightweight, you could get them stitched together (Nine of them, for example - 18 euro - gives you 15ft x 9ft).

Anyway, what's going on in Sligo? Hopefully the club and fans are making as big a deal as possible about opening day. Get the crowds out, and a good result, and you set the tone for the season.
It would be unforgiveable to just slide low-key into the new season.

the thing about a megaphone is that it inferes in a way...
fivesilvers flag idea is a good one.

A megaphone would help get the whole staduim going at once.
Would also come in perfect for away trips.

We need a F*ckn Drum!

After seeing what unfolded on Paddys Day (Derry City) i was so dissapionted!
All the talk on this Forum was about getting the Red stand going, yet the people saying this (notably Wild Rover) never bothered to stand up when we sang 'Stand up for the Bitored' they stayed seated and never opened their mouth! It seems they have to be drunk to sing and this is only on away days. Also i know it seems like i am picking on WR (sorry) but where was WR's drum on Paddys day? Does he only bring it to away games too?:confused:

We were totally outsang on saterday lads in our own ground and if we dont do anything this could happen more often.
Derry had loads of drums and whistles (anything that made a lot of noise really) and what did we have? Couple of f*ckn whistles and absolutly no Drum (face it WR your thing is amateur! It is way too small) thats all we have.
Even Galway had 1 big MoFo of a Drum when we played them.

Lads we need to get a f*ckn drum.
