dcfc the 1 4me Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Just a quick song suggestion, to the tune of This Sex Is on Fire, Whoa-oh, Chris Martins on fire! He scor-ores, with Derby desire! ( Whoever else scores name can be put in as long as it fits the timing .eg Will Hughes is on fire, Benty's on fire,Weimanns Jake Buxton etc, you get the point.

Alph Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 How can you not have heard of Ramette? Proper fit. Don't know what she sees in that prancing bellend. He had that period where he went all bad ass but he's been a right clown before and after Nice work 1884. Well played fella. I hope this goes better than previous groups who became isolated pockets. Well played fella. Can't help out unfortunately because I work Friday nights so I'm on my arse on Saturday mornings and early afternoon. This club has felt like a real community club for a good few years now. Really makes you love the club so much more when you feel part of it rather than a customer.

TomBustler1884 Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 If anyone is planning on donating anything this week, the link is gofundme.com/1884group. As always, any donation welcome and gratefully received.Will start buying things this week and have found a way to get 400 flags if we cut and paint them ourselves.needless to say that will need help in a few weeks!

Boycie Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Can mention that I asked Mel about ewie! at the chow down at Moor Farm. i though he ignored me, but the canny sod obviously takes heed of someone with there ear to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetness34 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I thought it was Ewey, not rammette? it's been a while so maybe wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inverurie Ram Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 All this talk of Ewie, well we need a new song and here it is, I'm looking forward to singing it at FC Utrecht to get it going.If the club and fans want an old classic to sing along too, then Bob Dylan is your man and all those nice folk that have covered this song over the years etc.Anyway get your singing voices ready for the new seaon and I think this would work really well. Sing up... “Ewe eee ride me high,Tomorrow’s the day, My Rams are gonna come,Ewe eee we’re gonna fly,Paul’s in the easy chair” You Ain’t Going Nowhere – I’m Not There Soundtrackhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zo7_QOxvk24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi SamWe have currently raised £1150, roughly 8% of which goes on site fees, meaning we actually receive about £1060.As this is more than we had planned, we have gone ahead with100 stickers160 streamers1000 balloons5000 leaflets10kg of black and white slowfall confettiWe have also taken the plunge and decided to make the flags ourselves by ordering 400m of fire-retardant flag fabric!! This means we should hopefully have enough to make 400 flags!!So, the increased money raised has gone on bumping up the number of flags, and flagpoles and rivets.We may well be in need of anyone with a sewing machine who is able to give some time to help sewing the flags if anyone knows anyone.Everything will be ordered this week, hopefully arrive from Europe in the next 2 weeks and we can then start getting down to work.We would love it if people kept donating as we can look at things like giant flags, more small flags, card displays, but don't want to annoy people by continually asking for donations. It's a tricky balance to maintain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Why would you decide to make your own flags without means or knowhow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomBustler1884 Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 Why would you decide to make your own flags without means or knowhow?We were always going for plain flags for this first game to try and make an impact via volume.If we'd bought them pre-made we would only have been able to get around 120-160.By doing them ourselves we can make 400 and get more people involved. We have one seamster(?) recruited already and can rivet well, following advice from the group in Watford.Would have been an easy decision to go for pre-made, but it wouldn't have made as big an impact, and fewer people would be able to feel part of what we're doing. More work this way, but hopefully with a better pay-off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
