2 for £35 does seem a better deal even if they only last 1 season each.


http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Percussion-Plus-14-inch-Samba-Drum-/172742074253?epid=1305264374&hash=item28383adf8d:g:CKMAAOSwOMdZSpSV this one comes with sticks and a carry belt and still under £100
Needs to be an 18" as thats the current size. And tbh, we're gonna go with as good as we can get (and new) because the last thing we want is it breaking mid game at an important moment :) Good finds though.

Out of interest, where do the origine's of the red heart lye? It was there before Adam died wasnt it?
Don't know for sure, but believe it was meant to be symbolic of the fans being the heart/heartbeat of the club. Not sure if it was painted there with specific reference to the supporters of the big bank, or just that that it was the only feasible spot to paint it, given that the seating areas were obviously impractical. The one thing I do know for sure (which may not be what you are wanting to know) is that Taggy was enthusiastic about it, and I personally heard him mention it in glowing terms !

I have no idea who came up with the idea originally.

Hope this helps Pete.

Hi Max, seems you know what you want, so I thought the best thing to do was put some dosh in your fund......

Yes we have, apologies for not posting sooner, I don't run the twitter or facebook btw, just help out posting on here :)

Fantastic support from city fans, we have been lucky to have been backed so well over the last couple of years and I think due to that have created something really positive for matchdays. The displays like the play off game are only possible with fundraising efforts and it's brilliant that we have a bit of a kitty to play with for the coming season.

Correct. It was originally painted at Inglethorpe's request. Here to help.

Looks like the fundraising is going well. (y) Just added a donation from the fanzine.

Best of luck,

All at Some Sunny Day
