bangers flag.......

[asiu]

tb.....direct 'registered' postage around oz i think ....need to get it to each place in plenty of time (for the organisers to get ready)

you being in nz and singapore could be very handy though !!!

any organised travel plans to those places?




solar
hopefully i'll get this one in the mail to garth (sa) early in the week

[Dis Believer]

NZ wil be either May or June and then September and December.

Singapore is unknown - expect about August unless something comes up sooner.

[saintdooley]

put me in!
im signing it if the idea works!

[Richter]

Gaz, I'm going to San Francisco for a few days leaving July 7th so I could perhaps take a flag over there to carnasaints55? Carna may need to sort out a way of sending it back but hey, that's one direction sorted......!

[Sxc_Sainter]

oooh im sooo signing this too.
GREAT idea gazrat!!

[asiu]

UP TO DATE info : (as of this morning)

the current plan

four flags ............(sewn together as discussed earlier in this thread)**

2 x .....goin around oz
1 x .....goin international
1 x .....gettn around past players , support staff


** will get a mock up posted asap

*************************************************************

the first flag is here .....and will be in the post by tues , wednesday at the latest ......

on its way to garth in sa (with a week to spare)


on monday i'll get two more flags sent up from the club ,
(set them both up the same as .....flag one)

that will give us a flag ready to go international
and another flag ready to go around oz

*************************************************************

that leaves the fourth flag ………….this area is a bit more touchy


while the other 3 flags aren’t worth anything (monetarily) until all flags are sewn together ,

the fourth flag would be worth a motza as a single unit…..and therefore must (imo) be in the clubs (or a trusted rep of the clubs) care and control at all times *

*until i need it , to have it sewn together with the other 3 ,
and then back would go the finished unit for the clubs safekeeping

(maybe after we hang it from the mw)….lol

so, i’m canvassing different views, opinions about how best to get our past players , club officials , past coaches ect involved

i havn’t really moved forward on this point as of yet …….still formulating ideas ,

(there have been a few fab suggestions , but don’t wanna put out in public something that’s not confirmed

*************************************************************


i’m sort of waking up , to how big wa and the nt really are ….



sarah and i are discussing via pm .....how the northern territory will be covered

roger and i will yack on the blower over the weekend

starting to think that maybe oz flag #2 …..should be concentrated on those two areas

(and upper sa ….if anyone lives out there )
(even inland queensland)

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

*************************************************************

that leaves our international flag


nick taking it in to England (in may)…seems like a winner ….but how many sainters in the uk?

how quickly can these guys / girls come up with a plan ?

i can see lots of separate postings , here , there , back there again …..trouble is …
more postings = more risk of loss

then theres the ...its been to the uk , now its in south america ...issue

once into each country ...then gone

we just cant afford to lose any of these flags ………..hmmmmmmm

not from a $ point of view …..but from a signature / supporter p.o.v

hopefully richter, by the time it gets to carnasaints55...he will post it on to another part of the states

***********************************************************

anyways …that’s what goin on in my head peoples

thoughts , comments , pointing out obvious flaws ….all welcome


dooley …..it’s happening ...it works .....have faith


************************************************************

[Liam_G]

Good stuff gazrat and all else who have been involved so far. Such a great idea. Looking forward to when us Melbournians can give it a sign. Keep it up!

[2007]

Ideally you want someone from the club who has access to past players and important staff on a pretty easy/regular basis.

Such a person might be hard to find ...

In which case you might have to involve multiple people ... which could get messy.

I guess the main thing is to get "key" people to sign in ... Burkey, Spud, Stewy, GT etc.

[saint66au]

Happy to organise a signing session for Moorabbin Wing-ites,,perhaps we can pop a trestle table at the back of Aisle 35 for ppl to sign pre-game and at 1/2 time??? Thered be no shortage of volunteers to man the signing table

Have a contact at TD Event Management Im sure they would have no problems with supplying one for a truly worthy cause

We sit on Aisle 35 because of the great man

[Riewoldting]

Surely someone with a grasp on stats can work out the exact number of players Harvey has played with since his career began ...

By that I mean St Kilda players (not Seaford) who he has played with in a senior VFL/AFL game (premiership points or finals ... not pre-season/state of origin).

The number must be in the hundreds ... far too many for a quarter of a flag ...

Also think it would be appropriate (perhaps by organising through the club or the AFL) for the flag to be signed by a member of the Whitten family (cos this guy's won three, count em, three EJ Whitten medals) and a member of the Brownlow family (cos this guy's won two, count em, two Brownlow medals).

Also might be helpful to get the AFLPA onside for contacting a few current/past players ..?

[luke.l_26]

Just out of intrest.. when will we start signing the flag?

[saint66au]

Perhaps Cowboy Neale or the Fly could help out with past players?

[apple_corr39]

sounds like a good idea 2 me

Ohh good, sorry I haven't been keeping up with this thread after I fell behind but I just really love the idea and really want to be a part of it

[n1ck]

BUMP!

remember international requests to sign the flag go in here:

http://www.saintsational.com/forum/view ... hp?t=28823

[asiu]

its all going on behind the scenes at this point in time ....(my bit)

work has got in the way a bit ....i've just gotta get the flag to sa for round 5 (and i'm late!!!!)




international requests we do need .....important to get a 'posting program' under way ....but we do have a bit of time up our sleeve

brats working on the world site thing ....(actually 3 or 4 of 'saintbrats' and we could achieve anything) ....

[n1ck]

hey gaz did you get my pm?

[saintbrat]

hey gaz- that link I found they called me' spam-- I mean dont they know of my saintsational history

so I have left one link as they sent the info to the BIN

so maybe anyone who is on a world sports forum somewhere can do a link

[rogerwa]

brat you coming over for the dockers game...if so maybe you can bring the flag with you

[sunsaint]

Gday Gazrat
regarding the international flag there is a thriving aussie rules league there, barfl.co.uk I am involved with the wimbledonhawks.com website and I think there is potential for lots of signatures from "footy fans" desperate for anything footy related over in london.
I would imagine that if the flag turned up at one of the games there could be 50 signatures in one hit.
Let me know via this forum
thanks

[loving_the_dal]

Is the flag coming to Tassie?? Has anything been arranged??

[saintbrat]

brat you coming over for the dockers game...if so maybe you can bring the flag with you

a)A friday night )
b)and dont want to take tickets that West aussies have to queue for
May go north instead.

[rogerwa]
