BIG FLAG FUND

[rolo]

i'll throw some in defo, but i'm a broke student....

i'll start with e10 and more would come in dribs and drabs as i get it then....

a few of those pole flags up the st. annes end would be magic!!!

[pete]

Is this supposed to be a big flag or one of those ones you can drag along the crowd?

I've heard that the flags for dragging across the crowd need to be light & strong & could cost E500-1000.

If the telescopic poles are bought whoever uses them would want to be careful as i've heard they can break.

There will be a write up in the next fanzine about this attempt to get some 'Big Flags'. Email us now if there is anymore to be said...

It will be either the big one we pull over the crowd !!



OR



The three big ones with the telescopic poles !!



at this stage i dont care .... this 50 spot is burning a hole in my pocket ... someone better take it quick, or it will become 25

It is now time to quit the crap and get it all sorted !!

I think that if we are going to do this we should have them up and runing befor the season is over. If we can do that we will be on or way to do some thing right. So lets get our fingers out and let's get the ball rolling.I whent out to blackpool to that dress maker and she said thet she could do the flags but she could not give me a price.She all so told me not to go in to the shops to by the cloth she said that to by it holesail and that there is a place down in john street and by it on a roll and then bring it up to her and that she wood do the flags for us.So boys and girls lets do this and stop all the talk and lets start this.

IMO the crowd cover is a waste of time. Scuts in the Shed will burn it or rip it.

We need the three flags on poles with three people who will wave them AND take care of them.

I agree. Froim what i was told the crowd covers are expensive because they've to be made strong enough to survive being dragged from all angles.

What kind of colours/designs proposed for the "big flags"?

[ian]

THE WORD I MENT TO USE IS WHOLESALE IS THAT OK KNOW LETS GET ON WITH THE FLAGS.

[NorthoftheLee]

I've sent on a few FLAG design ideas to 451 just to get the imagination ball rollong like. Well about 8 designs I think. if they don't like any of them i'll be destroyed like....

[pete]

One like the pyjamas jersey would be original i think...

[NorthoftheLee]

The bar code effect?? Ive sent in a couple variations on that one..

The big flags on the poles would look great but we will need people who are committed to looking after them.

There is no point in wasting money on a crowd cover because I don't trust a lot of people coming to our games at the moment. As Neil said, they will rip it or burn it.

We haven't forgotten about the BIG FLAG FUND! We are serious about getting this done. Read more on fourfiveone.net and also in the next Issue of FourFiveOne (out on 27th December). Let's get it going!

[Neil]

As it said in the fanzine last night, we have to get this done before the start of next season. I have a person sorted who can do the sewing.... for a start! I'll also throw 20/30 euro to get the poles and material...

[FourFiveOne]

Got a quote from TIFO.IT for three Telescopic Poles stretching out to 5.5 metres each... €241.98 (including delivery). That's not bad.

The material needed for making three big flags (12 x 9 or so) would be about €200.

If we can get someone to sew them together cheaply, we're looking good to do 3 BIG FLAGS for less than €500. Picture them on front of the Shed as the teams come out for the first game of next season!

- Will we go ahead and order them poles?
- Have we volunteers to wave and take care of the flags?
- Are people still willing to throw a few bob to help the fund?

Let's get it going...

[pete]

Whats been pledged so far for the fund?

I'm guessing tifo are the only place to get the telescopic poles?

I'd also suppose no point in having big flags if no bendy poles to hang them from?

Maybe E30 from 15 people?
