DECROMAX Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 (trying not to sound tight) But how much should we contribute?
forever a red and white Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 If someone has experience in getting buying and designing flags thtas great (trying not to sound tight) But how much should we contribute? Guess it would be a case of getting a quote for the flag off producer/designer then seeing how feasable it is to raise cash
Griffo Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 I have used/spoken to Barmy flags a fair bit. On their website, the biggest size appears to be 25ft X 12.5ft. Although I'm sure they can/would make bigger if asked.
paulwantsapint Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 Can we negotiate a discount for bulk purchase of t-shirts?
paulwantsapint Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 Would the FA let the team play with MARKUS LIEBHERR on all players shirts with normal squad nos? ref would still have the nos to tell team apart
dubai_phil Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 Great idea BUT, someone needs to take the project management on - not jut designing the thing & paypal etc, but also I am pretty sure that the club should be at least informed if not formal permission requested. I remember my run in with the Stewards over a simple Dubai Saints Flag, and the last thing we want is for some jobsworth to stop the flag being taken into the ground for Image Rights or Elf & Safety reasons
Nexstar Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 I have no doubt we could get several of the large flags together, with contributions off this site. 1 in each stand maybe...? Great idea BTW
Sour Mash Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 A huge Swiss flag starting in the northam and moving around the rest of the stadium pre-kickoff would be a great touch. I'm sure if a paypal fund was set up alot of people on this site would contribute towards it. The biggest one's they do cost a fair bit, you'll be looking at in excess of £500, plus unlikely the safety bods at St Marys would allow anything that big.
Scudamore Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 Surely this lot would be the best to speak to? http://www.hampshireflag.co.uk/
Whitey Grandad Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 I'd be pleased to contribute to a big flag.
niceandfriendly Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 I'd also chip in. I think we'd need TSW to organise a paypal account so people know they can be trusted. If I or anyone else set one up who's to say that person won't just run off with all the cash. Mods, will you be able to help?
niceandfriendly Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 The club shouldn't be involved, if it is a gesture from the fans. If we're organising something like a flag it'd be silly not to inform the club first. You know what the stewards are like.
Scudamore Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 If we're organising something like a flag it'd be silly not to inform the club first. You know what the stewards are like. You're right...those stewards are a sucker for an idea that involves a contribution...deep pockets too. Someone inform the club!
niceandfriendly Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 Good design Scudamore. Strange reply to my post though.
saintscottofthenortham Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 Good effort Scudamore... But am I the only one that is seeing Elton John on that?
Scudamore Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 Good design Scudamore. Strange reply to my post though. It was a joke! Obviously not a very good one
scotty Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 Good effort Scudamore... But am I the only one that is seeing Elton John on that? not with a halo mate.
Scudamore Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 Good effort Scudamore... But am I the only one that is seeing Elton John on that? Should i put David Furnish on it as well do you think?
forever a red and white Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 nice design, but lose the halo i reckon
scotty Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 for some reason, if I squint at it, it looks like colonel sanders.
saintjay77 Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 Id be up for adding a few quid. Who would be the best person at the club to speak to for any kind of permission? Would it just be from TSW or is it worth trying to involve fans from other area's and message boards?
BigShadow Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 Great idea.....happy to contribute a few quid to this. Maybe the simple words 'Thank You Markus' on the flag?
richard Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 It's a bit orange. Should be red. Otherwise good.
Saint_clark Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 Ordered the smaller Swiss flag off of Amazon, it's only £3 on there. Probably gonna get one of those shirts as well, but...I really don't think they'll let us do the giant flag at SMS, unfortunately.
St Marco Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 Would happily chip in some cash too. Think it is a great idea and am sure the club would support it. If we get onto them early enough they might even help out with some of it or put something on the OS about it.
smithy Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 Good effort Scudamore... But am I the only one that is seeing Elton John on that? What just behind him? Sorry couldnt help it.... I meant to quote the Furnish one. Ooops!
Saint-Armstrong Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 If we are going to do this let's do it together. If we are buying a flag, count me in.
mitch01 Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 I'd happily contribute. WIFM should be incorporated.
once_bitterne Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 Interesting that a lot of media sites have reported his cause of death as heart attack.
SFKA South Woodford Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 I'd be happy to contribute as well. Just to offer an alternative suggestion though, how about getting colour cardboard squares printed and attached to all of the seats in St Marys, so that when they are held up it makes a mosaic of Markus' face in each of the stands with the words 'Thank you Markus' below his face.
DECROMAX Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 I'd be happy to contribute as well.

Nice idea but a hell of a lot of work , how many would you need for a decent size? 3-5000. At least if we decided for a flag it could be used again.
DECROMAX Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 Think we should get a few designs together then put it to the vote.
saint_bert Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 Would be more than happy to contribute. Like the GGML song too.
positivepete Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 I will happily pay some money towards this, now all we need is someone to take the job on!
Toadhall Saint Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 I'd contribute but who would actually own said flag?
scott_saints Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 I'd contribute but who would actually own said flag? I reckon we all pay for it via paypal, and contact the club so that THEY keep it but WE own it. That way we can ask to use it in future, and people aren't p1ssed off that someone has got the flag in their house.
Barry the Badger Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 I like Forever a Saint as a caption. Not keen on WIFM.

Thirded.
hamster Posted 14 April, 2011 Posted 14 April, 2011 I really like that, great effect. The club could still do the cards on seats as they did for Bally iirc. Anyone worked out a rough cost yet, it needs to be massive IMO, really massive. And what happens when it gets round to the warsaw fans?
