hypochondriac Posted 30 April, 2011 Share Posted 30 April, 2011 I think maybe after the flag you could look at continuing donations which could go towards other projects? I'll say it quietly but a statue perhaps? Next to Ted would look awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor_Saint Posted 30 April, 2011 Share Posted 30 April, 2011 In order to get more and more donations I think you'll need to be able to show a running total and the display the messages that people put in their Paypal comments - people are fickle and like to be able to see a running total and comments (justgiving.com type stuff!)

Under Weststand Posted 30 April, 2011 Share Posted 30 April, 2011 Just seen this & £10 added to the total, a small price to pay to honour the man who put his money in to save us. Agree with those above a running total would be a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustMike Posted 30 April, 2011 Author Share Posted 30 April, 2011 will be doing a running total in one form or another, give us a chance hey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintscottofthenortham Posted 30 April, 2011 Share Posted 30 April, 2011 As I try to spread the word, there is going to be people asking what's going to happen with the flag. I like the idea of it being auctioned for the Saints Foundation, but I would like it to still remain at SMS so we can bring it out on matchdays.

JustMike Posted 30 April, 2011 Author Share Posted 30 April, 2011 as far as comments go, im not sure if there is a space on the paypal thing, no-one has entered anything as yet. for now, if you want to add your own thoughts, a PM on here is fine, over the next couple of days i will add a contact page to the site so people will then be able to leave their comments via that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor_Saint Posted 30 April, 2011 Share Posted 30 April, 2011 @Justmike This thing is bigger than SWF now You've got retweets by MattLeTiss and the club, it's not just SWF folks you need to cater for.

Saint-Armstrong Posted 30 April, 2011 Share Posted 30 April, 2011 Forgetting aesthetics I think it needs more details about who what where and when with regard to donation. Alright for those on the forum, but any outsiders wishing to donate could be put off by a lack of details. I posted this on behalf on a Saints fan on Twitter.

Saintpaul120 Posted 30 April, 2011 Share Posted 30 April, 2011 Thanks Saint Armstrong. Mike, you need to show people who stumble across the ML site that it's above board and well regulated so contact details of the person running the operation; what happens in the event of the project being aborted etc, etc. You may even need to have accounts if appealing to the public, I'm not sure. My initial thoughts were "How do I know this is not a scam"? I can see from what's been said on here that it is not a scam but others may not come here to find out.

dubai_phil Posted 30 April, 2011 Share Posted 30 April, 2011 Mike Depending on the plans after the tribute, it may be an idea to leverage MLT if he really Tweeted you to see if he (and his pals) could start off a huge Autograph the flag (and print their name below) campaign. Getting legends who played for or against us or are fans/respect what Markus did for us to sign it and eventually auctioning it with maybe half the proceeds going to The Saints Foundation and the rest towards a memorial Garden or Staue would be awesome and add great value with little work In reality, enough "Celebs" Pass through SMS during a season but I would bet something more could be done to take it on to a long term level Will get my donation in next week.

SFC Forever Posted 1 May, 2011 Share Posted 1 May, 2011 If permission given from the club it might be an idea to have the screen shot while the players were standing. Markus smiling with the saints badge either side is cheerful and as he always seemed to be that for me would be extremely fitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
