Where can you see the proposed designs? I don't want to contribute then end up with another "The Aston Villa" debacle.

The first mosaic design seems to be the PREPARED image at the end of the video.

£150 for the Delph banner, I think.

I've always thought "Prepared" was a bit of a "meh" slogan.

What's wrong with just having the same design as in the Semi? Everyone liked it. Supporters of other clubs praised it. His entire campaign was inspired by it. Why, then, ignore it and go for something else?

Finally managed to get on here,

We had a mini poll to decide on PREPARED, over 650 votes, this is Just the first mosaic. Couldn't wait any longer and to think I was being told it was too soon to sort! Have another poll for the next one if we manage it this season.
PREPARED is AVFC. (GTHEB played it's part in getting the VILLA mosaic at Wembley btw)
The Holte End offers us new seating arrangements and difficulties. Believe me when I say hours have gone into designs and seeing what will fit! UTV

What about a mosaic that says The Aston Villa?

Very Good! Haha
Can confirm there will be no The Aston Villa ever! 👍

I think what the banner really needs to be complete is a mention of another club, along with the misuse of the definite article as Ads mentioned above.

Joking apart, good luck with it.

Although - miserablist hat on - you'll have to pick matches that are going to be near enough sold out, or it's not going to work with empty seats everywhere.

Will put money into "decent" efforts - eg Fight Like Lions and historical stuff - I sit in the Upper Holte so do I get a discount?   ;-)

How often does the Lower Holte get sold out for such a display to work?

Every week when we are 6 points clear of the pack in September.

That's why it's best to avoid replicating the VILLA display at Wembley. Most weekends, with the Holte Lower wings empty, it would just say ILL.

That's ok. It tells people why there's so many empty seats. Everyone came down with a virus.

Obviously will have a good idea of which games Lower Holte will br sold out for. Initially looking at Man Utd (first home game) and Albion game. Goes without saying won't just pick a game like say Watford. Will be thought in choosing and indeed plenty of promotion via the club too!
This has been months in planning. Not just thought of on a wim

Sorry, but if you want me, my opinion and probably more importantly to you my money, you come to me here.
Why can't you simply update us all here?
Title: Re: 'PREPARED' Mosaic Display
Post by: GTHEB on June 25, 2015, 08:25:52 PM
I will update here, but also realise Facebook and Twitter have a greater reach for myself.
Merely suggesting, if you wanted to, to have a look of the months of ideas, planning etc
Its took me a while to get on to H&V but hopefully will be able to broadcast what is going on.
More than happy to answer any questions, concerns. Just like I have been over on Social media.
Biggest thing for me is I know Villa fans will not all agree. Do we ever?

Given that the Holte's pretty full for the Liverpool game, how about "Scouser Scum Get Out Of Brum!"

If they're in The Holte, surely we'd have to have that one in the North Stand Lower?

Then the next time we play them we could have one saying "WHICH OF YOU BASTARDS STOLE OUR BANNER?".

If any fucker votes for "Pride of the Midlands" they want locking up, or being forced to watch the Stripeyfilth for a season.
