Funding for the 08 Campaign

[Corcaigh32]

It has been posted on many occasions in the Cork Hurlers thread that people would be prepared to give financial assistance to the campaign for posters, publicity etc etc.

We intend to set up a bank account on Monday morning for this purpose.

If you would like to and feel that you can support the campaign financially, (and we appreciate in these times that it may not be possible), please pm either myself, Barry K Obama or Mondi, for account details.

To re-iterate: We understand that these are pressing times and that people may not be able to donate money, so we are asking if you wish to AND you can only, please pm us for account details on Monday.

Thanks in advance.

Great idea.. A war chest is required.

As everyone here is computer driven it might be an idea to set up a paypal account also. It would be a lot easier to send money instantly.

Great work lads.

[Corcaigh32]

Paypal account on the way as well.

[tim the trip]

[Corcaigh32]

Just for you wal.

[Corcaigh32]

So everyone knows..........

[Corcaigh32]

Any help appreciated......... .

[CORKBHOY]

Any help appreciated......... .

I'll be doing my bit Corcaigh but let me just say lads, don't just expect everyone else to contribute, if we adopt that attitude we'll get nowhere.

Obviously some people can contribute more than others but any few quid will help lads,

Give what you can.

Corcaigh Abu!

Keep bumoing the last one every now and again just to keep it above the radar C32.
We can all appreciate that money is a lot tougher to come by these days
buit as already pointed out some can probably contribute more than most.

Good work lads..

[bigboyfoolish]

People need to get the finger out now here too lads..

And put some money where their cyber mouths are.
Even if it's a fiver.
Every little bit will help.

Hi lads

Posted this in the main thread as well but does anyone else think it might be a good idea to print up some t-shirts etc with slogans and images supporting our players? The PROC t-shirts are always very popular and great quality and the profits could be given to the campaign or maybe even help the lads pay for fields and gear for training.

[Corcaigh32]

We will be getting some promotional material for the event next week, anything that is donated and not used for the event will be donated to the players' training fund.

However, if the PROC want to get some done up, all the better.

yep count me in corcaigh... its a few bob but its worth every dime...

[Carmona]

Corcaigh, why don't ya spell out a few of the things you'll be putting the money towards, even if they seem obvious to you. Might help people if they know where the dosh is going.

Just back from Douglas Court AIB after depositing the €€€€€€€€

Jesus, it actually felt good putting the money in.. For two reasons

1) Just doing something small for the hurlers

2) I wrote FRANK MURPHY OUT on the notes. It just felt good. I am writing it on any note I now get.

Maybe/maybe not... But I can't see anyone getting prosecuted and I am prepared to take the risk!!

Money passes from hand to hand... shop to shop.. business to business. Great way to advertise the message of what all sane GAA Supporters want..!

[jams]

Any news on the paypal account?

[The Banker]

Any news on the paypal account?

That could take a few days to organise but I am sure the lads have it covered. Paypal will be handy to get people on line to drop a few bob easily and quickly enough.

Very easy to transfer money using internet banking. Just setup the account first and then transfer the money!

True, another good option....

Lads, make sure you donate to this even if its only a few €uro. The likes of Barry K and Corcaigh32 are doing sterling work here on behalf of all hurling supporters in Cork.

Remember, what we are doing here is history in the making. In 20 years time journalists and historians will be writing about how Cork GAA fans reclaimed their County Board and overthrew a dictatorship.
Everyone here can play a part.

[peopleluas]

Sorry to bother you Corcaigh32 - I just need the details of the bank acount to deposit money to, and your PM inbox is full.

Could you please PM to me please.

Better still, unless you have a very very good reason for not posting the details of the bank account, I'd suggest you post it here for all to see. The reason I suggest this is that you have been doing trojan work for the cause, and I'd prefer you not to be distracted from that to respond to otherwise unnecesary PMs.

Thanks,

[Corcaigh32]

People I just sent it to ya on rebelgaa ;)

[Cork All-Star]

Its easier to go to your local AIB with the wad of cash. If you transfer by the internet you have to wait to receive a PIN by post before the account is activated.

Plus the feckers in BOI wouldn't transfer to an AIB account directly. Seems that service is gone. It done now though. Can't wait til Sunday to see the results.

[Corcaigh32]

Account has doubled in one day - thanks to all who have contributed.

More detailed update later on preparations for the Sunday.

Great idea.

It costs a lot of money to pay for the newspaper adds, road signage, banners etc. There's a few lads out there putting the money forward to keep this going. We can't have the same few people bearing the brunt of the cost. If anyone hasn't managed to donate to the fund through the bank account please give what you can on Sunday should there be the chance to do so.

We're all playing our part here.

Huge effort by everyone.

pounds, shillings and pence again! Will lodge tomorrow to 60959018

First post EVER so go easy on me. :-)

I've been following the PRoC CorkHurlers thread for months now. It kept me going in the dark days of Jan when friends and family were questioning the bona fides of the 08 panel.

Just transferred some cash there, similarities with Barak Obama's campaign are not lost on me. Roll on Sunday and the REBULution!

Club meeting tonight, I'll let ye know how the vote goes.

Fair play to everyone involved here, sterling work being done.

Welcome Wildwinds of Ballinora. Laughing out loud at the Obama reference!! In fairness you're not that wrong. Its really amazing that almost all of this seems to be coordinated on the internet and mainly on this site. When we're finished with Ger Mac and Franko maybe we should start on Fianna Fáil :D

Will there be any transparency with the bank account? Can receipts and statements be posted up online or put somewhere for people to see?

Wouldnt want pro-Frankers to start calling us hyprocrites now would we!
Looking forward to Sunday now.

Cant do that Mr Jefferson..had to move to London last week for work so cant go to AIB branch or march this time unfortunately. Feel like im missing out on something big!!!

Have got on to friends at home that were kind of sitting on fence until recently though to tell them to go to game..if ye can bring a bucket for donations try to do so and theyll sort ye out

Keep up the fantastic work lads

[Corcaigh32]

Yes the statements and receipts from the account will be published online for review.

[MonTheHoops]

Just contributed there. Can't make tomorrow as I have my own training but that's besides the point.

Have you got an actual plan for the cash other than what's been mentioned in this thread? I'm not demanding an answer as to where my few bob has gone, but some means of 'advertising' the cause work a hell of a lot better than others.

Also, not being a complete stick in the mud, but should all this end favourably with a balance in the red, can I suggest the account balance is then given to charity?

By the way, the circus is outside in Bishopstown at the moment. I don't know how long it is there but has anyone thought of a plackard reading CCB Meeting in Progress outside it?

[Corcaigh32]

Hoops

So far the money has been spent on the material for tomorrow and the ad in the echo...........we had planned to give any excess to the players' training fund. If it all ends happily ever after, then either we do a) as you say give it to charity or b) use it to build a supporters club along the lines that bbf envisaged. Either way I can guarantee you full disclosure of accounts, receipts etc.

[MonTheHoops]

I'm not snooping at all Corcaigh, but the last thing you;d want is someone on the wrong side of ye snooping into what's been spent where. Tread carefully a chara.

[Corcaigh32]

We are more than aware of that - the account is being professionally managed - we are being so careful that I am not even going to joke about swiss bank accounts or skiing trips.

[Corcaigh32]

bump

[Mr Jefferson]

If theres money left over it might be worth taking out another ad in the Examiner. Given the recent Ballyhea motion, it might be worth making a direct appeal to the clubs to stand up and be counted.

[Corcaigh32]

Fair point Mr J, although we had planned to give it to the players' training fund, that is no longer an issue, we also had a suggestion to give the remainder to a charity of the players choice.
