[Boss]

Happy to use my PayPal account.

Go to PayPal and my details are

 

cath.platts@sky. com

 

I presume the sky. com should be sky.com (no space) right?

[Champ]

Yeah. My mistake

[lifetime fan]

Yeah. My mistake

 

Fucking hell, Steve would love that. A Shiela admitting she's wrong.

[Boss]

Done and sorry i couldn't contribute sooner. 

[Carvalho Diablo]

All done.

 

Come on everyone, hand in pocket time, do Stevie proud.

[Chairman Meow]

I to have now parted with my cold hard cash. 

[halewood pete]

Just sent a fiver to your PayPal account cath,can't wait to see green jesus on the kop.!

[rubble-rouser]

Fuck me - not been on the GF for a while. Well done to all who helped him and were there.

 

Champ I'll sort a donation in the next day or 2.

[ZonkoVille77]

Done now too. small amount but hope it helps.

[melons]

Done. 

 

Is it wrong that I'm really hoping to see a banner with a bag of piss on it displayed on the Kop? 

[Chairman Meow]

Done.

If that is wrong then frankly I don't want to be right. 

[melons]

I was starting to think we were going to go all serious and just have green Jesus. 

[Raymond Duck]

Another who wishes I'd contributed more to this thread and who followed with tears and laughs also. A tremendous show from all involved, you have my unqualified admiration, every single one of you.

 

I've sent you a PayPal Cath and support anything that the good people agree on.

 

Steve, a true Red who will never be forgotten. Rest easy mate.

[Lee909]

[Champ]

Wee will at this rate. There's been a steady stream of donations all afternoon

[Bernard Diomede]

I too missed the original collection, so would like to throw a few quid in the pot.

 

I think the banner/flag should be kept simple, though it should be a fair size funds permitting. "STEVE GANDY" at the top (I know he was proud to be part of the GF, but a message board username on a flag at the match would look a bit naff, in my opinion) - a massive picture of the actual green Jesus - "YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE" underneath.

 

Or He Never Walked Alone?

[Creator Supreme]

I get paid on 27th Cath, I'll cough up then.

[Josef Svejk]

Done. Happy to help as I too missed the initial collection.

 Same. Done.

[Bob]

I'll throw in on Monday when my expenses pay in. If I haven't by Tuesday hunt me down and kick me in the nuts.

 

 

My thoughts on the banner...

 

Personally I like it cryptic. Those that know, know. Those that don't will likely ask. Many of those that know will want to tell others what/why etc. I think that's a fitting legacy.

 

I think FAO stevebaby (with lower case s) is the right wording. If it looks like a memorial it will just be seen as another poor guy that's passed whose friends/family want to pay respects. I think Steve's attitude is so inspirational that it deserves more.

 

I agree - and loved it from the first mention - that a picture of THE green Jesus is a must. Whether it's the pic with Steve, the one I used holding the scarf, or a subsequent pic of him on his own, in not sure I care which, but it should be the real one.

 

These are just my own thoughts, and I don't at all pretend my opinion should have weight here. I never met or directly conversed with the bloke, but that's my thoughts on it all.

[Dr Nowt]

I think FAO stevebaby has a nice double meaning to those of us who know, and is a continuation of the thread and therefore our interaction with him, into perpetuity.  Er, man.

 

Maybe a vote or something?

And don't forget the bag.

[Bob]

And don't forget the bag.

With or without bag is fine by me, that's the sort of details I'm happy for others to argue for/against.

 

Possibly a bit of "what would Steve find funnier"? And I'm not qualified to answer that, although of guess he'd be wanting Chris Packet (was that the agreed name? It was the funniest suggestion) to be in there.

To quote Major Tom, this is beautiful!
