Alain Perrin Posted 27 April, 2011 Share Posted 27 April, 2011 For what it is worth I would avoid the first game of the season. It's never a full house because of holidays etc. Better to pick an anniversary eg. the date of his passing etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_Jonny Posted 27 April, 2011 Share Posted 27 April, 2011 Fantastic effort mike. I will definitely contribute once the site is up and running.

saintoli Posted 27 April, 2011 Share Posted 27 April, 2011 Are the club contributing to this aswell? Maybe we could raise as much as possible and see if the club would add to the total to get the biggest one possible? Fair play to the man sorting this out! Also, will the website be a lasting thing? Or just up and running until enough money was raised? I would like to have a sort of 'Markus legacy' type site that can be updated as we move through leagues, if that makes sense? Rubbish with the whole internet thing, so dont know how much it would cost to run every year. But surely a whip around on here to raise the money every year would be a good idea?

hamster Posted 27 April, 2011 Share Posted 27 April, 2011 Mike, what about a link to The Saints Fiundation? Markus did lay the foundations for this great enterprise after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 27 April, 2011 Share Posted 27 April, 2011 Markus is only really mentioned in this, but I wrote it just after he took over the club; Each week I stood, arms by my side, Watching this cursed game. Damning the man who ruined it all, And caused me all this pain. But then that changed; we were saved, By a man from lands afar. Almost as if by a miracle, Or a wish upon a star. He turned around a 6 year fall, Right down to the depths of hell. Now remember this, so to your kids, Our story you can tell. We were not the best, we were not the worst, We were just glad to be there. In the best league in all of the land, With the game played good and fair. But then that changed, something went wrong, We were undone by one mans greed. His stubbornness, his arrogance, And his selfishness he had to feed. I shall not dwell upon that man, For now our skies are clear. Just know that if it weren’t for him, We would not be down here. In spite of him, and his mistakes, We all still sing our song. And every weekend, without fault, The Saints go marching on. So do not fret; that time has passed, The future’s looking bright. No matter how bleak things might get, We'll cheer the Red and White. From the day we’re born, till the day we walk, Through heavens pearly gates, Stand, and stand proud my friend, For we are, and always will be, Saints.

Saint Fan CaM Posted 28 April, 2011 Share Posted 28 April, 2011 (edited) I will contribute when the website is up and running (good idea to use Paypal as an option, although do you not have to pay a lot of commission to them for the privelage?). I also like the idea of keeping the project going through the stages of Markus' and Nicola's plan. In fact, it should also be made clear that Nicola had a BIG part to play in getting Markus to SMS in the 1st place and then orchestrating the plan. NB: A little surprised that this site is not able to host such a good idea given that the seed was sown via here.

eelpie Posted 28 April, 2011 Share Posted 28 April, 2011 A great place for the flag could be behind the Northam goal between home and away fans which would hide those horrible empty seats (Assuming we won't get full houses until we reach the Premiership) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamster Posted 28 April, 2011 Share Posted 28 April, 2011 /\ Their stance seems very much anti the club's new owners and I'm not sure that we want or need a committee when we still have the saints trust to satisfy that role. But I take your point about how succesful it appears, then again Liverpool are a massive club, we're not yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
