Duracell Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Always think the BBG looks good in pictures when you had people making their own banners. I'm sure some of the "designs" that get thrown about are technically good pieces of design but they're soulless. You can't beat a poorly drawn ram on bed sheets stolen from the airing cabinet.I'd rather see that sort of thing, as well as toilet rolls and chopped up bits of the DET thrown in the air rather than photoshopped images of Taribo West on medium sized flags but as long as someone's doing something, that's the main thing. The old Barmy Army/Block A group got a fair bit of criticism, a lot of it fair, but would we have the South Stand without them? Think it's time we got a new group who are more inclusive getting a few ideas rolling so good luck to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomBustler1884 Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 A card display costs quite a bit! We hope to build up to doing that later in the season but it will depend on how things start off really.We've started with smallish flags, balloons and streamers as they're relatively cheap but it still comes to £800. Bigger flags and card displays will run into high 100's, potentially thousands, depending on how big we go. Will need as many people to donate as possible.I've met informally with a couple of people from the club, and some of the sponsors who are supportive of the idea.Meeting them formally next week and hopefully that will be a catalyst for people if the club are officially supporting the idea.

Sam_DCFC_1994 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Some ideas for further fund raising. Just suggestions Could we not have a collection bucket at each program stand? there will be around 28,000 attending on average per game i presume? ... sounds about right. Surely if the couple thousand or so that purchase programs on match days chuck a couples of pennies in the fund raising bucket, the figure of £800 could be achieved weekly to fund future displays? Or you could at least let fans know how to donate online? By putting the information on the back of the cards you use for a mosaic? Maybe the club could speak about it before games via the tannoy? Maybe have the web link printed on an advertising board around the pitch? The 1884 group is a great idea and its going in the right direction definitely! Exposure, exposure, exposure!

We're going for all of this!! Hoping we can get to £800 over the summer. We're on £75 after 3 hours, a week before payday so it's looking positive. Then can start doing fundraising at games when people see what we're actually doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
