just received a "sorry cannot help" reply from these guys

money collect and flag designed / delivered / paid for in less than 3 weeks. Still waiting for the club to get back to me, hoping I can get some sort of help from them

got a quote from then at 2700

either way we have less than 3 weeks to the game, with only 1 home game before (for suggested bucket collection) £2500+ is alot of cash to raise in that short time.

have received another quote for a 15m by 10m and its even higher! (£2850)

have found the image on there but they are quoting £300 for it.

Based on previous knowledge or just an educated guess?

quality race!!

All the points that Squiggly Dan has raised give us not enough time to do this before the Walsall game, there is no way that we can get the club involved with a memorial fund, agree on a design, raise the money (bucket collection at the one remaining home game before Walsall!!). So, we either put it on hold until the 1st home game of next season giving us all summer to get the club on board etc etc, or we look at cheaper options. I am not convinced by the £2000 odd quoted, seems very high for a flag imo. As for the image issue, the club must have the licence to the high res version. I will wait until I hear back from the Ops guy before suggesting the next move

Over to you then squiggly

The image is owned by Getty images, hoping the club will be able to sort out any licene issues

yes, was thinking the same. Will ask the Ops guy when he gets back to me Monday

agreed!

have been looking into this today, i have a paypal account where we can set up a "donate" button on here if Baj / Steve allow it. They also may have other options

1. it is then

I have just contacted a guy from Sunderland FC who have done similar in the past and are raising funds for a 2nd flag, hoping these guys will be able to help out

1 2 3 4 So.... can we have a poll to vote on the different designs people have posted so far. I must admit, my favourite is the "Forever A Saint" (the 1st one)

have you seen our mods

Why a mod? It was a "random user" that ended up getting the ball rolling on this.

This one

E Exactly this, have a couple of different companies sending quotes on various sizes.

ok, had a reply from Ops guy, he is going to reply in full after the Rovers game but has said that he sees no immediate problems and thinks that it is a great idea. So.... can we have a poll to vote on the different designs people have posted so far. I must admit, my favourite is the "Forever A Saint" one

...didnt email the Live event guys yet as still unsure on size.

we have to get their permission for something this big. I have basically asked them what the max size allowed is. I would hate to have it made only to be told "No" on the day.

its broken
