Grand Final Tifo

[MrCelery]

As an old-timer who's been a passionate vocal supporter for over 4 decades, it's fantastic to see the Mariners active supporters group in such good hands. Bloody well done Jimmy & Co.

. Jimmy, are both you and OzHammer covered for the outlay for the semi display as well?

I have been reimbursed for the material to make the semi final flags. Thank you to Shaun.
I passed on the information to Ozhammer to do likewise.

Have the stadium/APL given their ok? There is always that 1 dickhead security guard

If anyone asks tell them it`s a crowd blanket in case it gets cold...

Been busy this week, and not been on the forum.
$25 in your account Jimmy.

Not much left after helping to pay my daughters HECS debt.

As I was walking back to the car on Saturday I could see my son waiting by it,
so pressed the key fob to open. I thought I could see him open the door and put something in.
Go out Sunday and there's this bloody great flag he was given for the march.
It's still in the car. I think he's bringing in on Saturday.

Quick question about the display of the tifo. I was just thinking that whatever the banner looks like it would be covered in yellow streamers if everyone from the top threw them down. Is that the plan or not?

Also I and many other Mariners fans appreciate your work and everyone else who committed to it behind the scenes and I can’t wait to see it all unfold on gameday.

Yep - all cleared in the security briefing ?

Yep - all cleared in the security briefing ?

. that the stadium/APL are ok with it ... or that there will be a dickhead security guard?

. or both?

 

[Jimmy]

Tifo has been cleared, I'll be meeting with security and APL on the day, possibly getting in early to set it up, but I'd also like to go to the pub before hand. I'll see how we go.

There's always one dickhead security guard.

The streamers shouldn't detract from the banners, I'm sure the text will still be visible.

doing gods work my friend, can’t wait to see it
Thank you

Hola you beautiful beautiful people.
What a night? Absolutely incredible, it still hasn't sunk in.

Again, a huge thank you to everyone who donated their time and money to this project, off the top of my head it was close to $2100 and we raised close to $2700, yet to finalise all the money and bills. There was one donation in particular that I don't think I can take in good conscience, it was incredibly generous, but probably too much from one person, I'll look at reimbursing a large part of the donation.

From the front of the bay, the tifo looked incredible. It's a shame that they had the lights turned off in our section and ruined what could have been an incredible spectacle.

Everyone at the game as supportive and cooperative with whatever we asked people to do to help us. We really do have the best fans.

Here are some photos of the progess of the tifo.
my son now has a great FC on his backyard football pitch.

I'm yet to count how many flags we have left over. Quite a lot of them will be unusable again after being absolutely drenched in beer.

If anyone has any photos of the tifo, please share them here, I'd love to see it from a distance.

Love you!

Also, here's the sketch I drew up before the Adelaide semi-finals. Fair to say we managed to put this into reality.

 

[Pirate Pete]

Absolutely top effort Jimmy.

Thank You.

The flags covered in beer. So what they'll dry.
Don't get rid of them.

They tend to get riddled with mould even after washing.

They tend to get riddled with mould even after washing.

Ah, OK. I didn't realise that.
Even with a good dose of napisan?

Must admit, when I hopped on the forum this morning, the last thing I was expecting was laundry tips.

Then again, nothing seems real any more
