Club Tyrone - Garvaghy Patron

[Fear ón Srath Bán]

Did you get it ok then Fear?

Yes Rois, it was there indeed. I feel all loved again 

[Rois]

Finite number of patrons - yes. 

Can't really see it reaching the point whereby CT say "Sorry we've enough Patrons and for that reason we can't accept your patronage but will take the £1000 thanks very much"

Where do I get one of the brochures?  Would definitely consider a family donation.

But hold on, there's the sticky issue of tickets if we get to an AIF in the next five years.  This has been put to the clubs, and in effect it's their tickets that patrons will get.  Therefore there's a limit on supply. 

PM me your address and I'll get you a brochure.

I still think that the 'T' idea is a load of balls - who else except the UDR, Dan McGinnis and pigeons will be aware that it is shaped that way.

Anyone who's seen an aerial photograph 

Don't mind it myself, adds a degree of certain uniqueness, and it can can only add to the overall appeal of the place, done right.

would have thought i would add an awfull lot to the building costs.
nice idea in theory but is it really worth it?
will be good to have a complex like this in tyrone though,will be greta for schools games, underage tournament etc

I take the view that it can only add to the costs.

I take the view that it can only add to the costs.

Why not use prefabricated Kingspan timber frame then, keep costs to an absolute minimum. 

A lot of the the work that's being put into this venture is on a purely voluntary basis, including the design and planning. The extra costs incurred as a result of the T-shape will not constitute a significant proportion of the overall costs, IMHO.

19 members have signed up so far!

[ONeill]

There's a few great guys responsible for the publications - the fact that it's voluntary is the absolute icing on the cake.

Mark took a break for a while but when he's needed most, he's back on board. 

Coming down on Thurs night O'Neill?

Might take a scoot down. Will there be tea?

Most definately.

Another innovative idea from Club Tyrone for funding for Garvaghy:

http://www.tyronegaa.ie/countyboard/news/story.jsp?newsid=884

Certainly something that the ordinary fan can do to contribute towards the project.

Super idea and one that many Gaels from far beyond the bushes would contribute to.

However (and there's always a but with me), I couldn't agree with this bit.

Thinking of £45? Well we hope you're now getting the message. Buy the space for your company logo or simply to give someone who cherishes Tyrone GAA the best Christmas or birthday present ever.

I'm sure most people would be devastated if they got a £45 pixel for their birthday or Christmas. Even one who cherishes Tyrone GAA.

£45 = 9 pixels!

Mrs Oakleafgael has been hinting about signing up. Claims it will be a great investment for Oakleafgael junior and siblings. I took a quick gander around the site a couple of weeks ago, its well worth doing to appreciate the scale of the developement. Its discouraging for a Derry man to say but the Tyronies are a country mile ahead of the rest of the province with regards to coaching and the Garvaghy scheme will go a long way to keeping them there.

Some Oakleafers have already subscribed -- check out Mickey Harte's brow.

Technically 3,600 pixels according to this.

Each box of 20x20 pixels costs only 5.00 GBP!

Still won't be buying one as a present for the wee lad. Don't think the "It's really nine pixels" line will be of sufficient comfort to him.

This reminds me a bit of the time the FA had 1 million spaces to be filled on a flag that was to be brought to (I think) Japan / Korea world cup. They didn't charge anything for posting a message. Some of the gaaboarders had some fun there.
