I've edited the first post in this thread with the latest pledge listings, which I'm recording in Google Spreadsheets. I've given casso36 edit access, if you want view access PM your email address to me. (Or just check the first post!

)

Great to see all the pledges, I would be wonderful to see casso36 pull this off. I would remind people, however, that pledges are just that, people have been known to pull out of them for good reasons and bad. I think we should be hitting at least halfway before we start taking in money.

**dahamsta** · 27/07/2006, 6:47 PM

I've added a poll to the other thread.

Superb idea, would love to see this get off the ground! when do you need payment going through?

Put me down for €50
Jersey or flag (although the jersey at the french game was impressive!!)

**paul_oshea** · 28/07/2006, 10:20 AM

i notice there is no money beside my name put down �30.

btw my real surname isnt oshea! is it usernames that are being printed on it?
i think names would look duff on a big jersey? good pun eh?

**casso36** · 28/07/2006, 11:21 AM

Right!!!

Were up to €830.00 So far from 22 pledgers and user from the site,and only 2/3 weeks left to get the rest together.
If we want it done for Stuttgart Game.

Please email mates that use the site and get them to pledge some funds towards if possible. We have had over 1000 hits on this thread and surely we can get the remaining balance for flag. Come on lads!!! It will look great at all the games>

Fixed.

**joema** · 28/07/2006, 1:26 PM

I wouldnt mind if my name was put on the back of the jersey/flag anyway. But maybe the rest of ye want the names on the front? Im not too bothered either way but I dont think names would look good on the front. Also Id prefer real names as I dont like my user name but again Im not too bothered as long as we get a decent flag/jersey

I think we're far enough along now to see that people are serious, so I'll set up a payment page over the weekend where people can make donations, via PayPal, credit card, bank transfer and cheque. I would like to add, however, that I think it would be a bad idea to try and work to a deadline of the next match. It's really not a very long time to get all the money in, get the the printers paid, get the banner finalised and approved by a majority, get it printed, get it shipped, etc.

It might be possible, but I don't want to be on the receiving end of a load of abuse if it doesn't all go according to plan.

....people always need a scapegoat to blame when things go wrong.

**paul_oshea** · 28/07/2006, 2:04 PM

I had to provide vector images for my Rebel Army Exiles banner and that's only 3m x 1.5m

I think t-shirts would be a better idea.
You can use SpreadShirt.net to design them and there's no overhead. If people want them, they buy them. If they, don't then it doesn't matter. The best bit is that you don't have to try and collect money from people who've promised to donate.

They say the flag would be quicker to make and we'd be sure to have it for Stuttgart!!! So everyone please vote as soon as possible!!!! so we can decide quickly we only have couple of weeks!!!!
