Freestanding, portable signs?
I’ve had an enquiry from a small football club. Basically they want some freestanding advertising signs that they can pick up and store at the end of each game. Size about 8-10 feet long. I’m thinking of some kind of frame that holds a banner – I’ve seen something like this before somewhere. So, does anybody know of a supplier of this type of thing, off the shelf, so to speak. OR has anybody got any better ideas for how to produce this.
Thanks you lot.

May be a daft suggestion, but 10mm correx with 4 or 5 wooden stakes glued to the back. At about £10 a sheet, cut it in 2, including timber it’d cost about £10 for each one 😀

Dew,
Once I find out their budget that suggestion may well be one of the options I give them! Only possible problem is the 10 million post holes they would have at the side of the pitch by the end of the season. Saying that, they may well have to be fixed to the ground somehow to withstand footballs being kicked into them all day.Andy

Thats what I was thinking about. I’m not a great football fan, in fact I’ve never sat and watched it properly, just know its a group of guys kicking a ball about and everyone in the crowd gets very excited when they kick it into a net 😮 😮
I didn’t think about the post holes everywhere 😕 K, little option… you can buy post holders with a diddy spike on the end… if you get the 2″ square ones, then attached 2″x2″ timber, straight cut to the boards, they could slot them into position at the start of each game 😀 I think the post holders are a couple of quid a piece, so it may add about a tenner to the job, but even at £20 each, not bad for a 8ft x 2ft mobile hoarding 😀
Cheers, Dewi

http://www.boldscan.com, don’t worry they’re UK !
Some other supplier sent me a catalogue with all this stuff last week in but I can’t find it!

Yeah, That’s not a bad idea. The one’s I’ve seen are kind of fluted so they don’t leave such a big nasty hole in the ground when removed.
As for the football……what sort of Northener are you? I thought it was all whippets, cloth caps and footy up there. Don’t tell me my preconceptions of all things Northern are erroneous. (Translation – erroneous=count for nowt)
😉

Blimey! 😮 They’re smart! £110 seems a bit steep, but I guess you get what you pay for, and they are quite funky 😀

I’d be the quiet, unassuming Northerner that stays at home and taps away at the keyboard, trying to understand all those big words that the frilley (but rather tall) Southerners come out with 😉 Bizarrely, even though we can’t do maths very well, we still get our beer cheaper 😆 😆

Thanks outline and -steve. That is exactly what I had in mind.
Dew, the reason you are the quiet, unassuming type is because you are a big girl’s blouse. (Actually, I’m just jealous – I went to a do the other night and had to pay £2.75 for a pint…..£2.7bloody5)

Was the extra £1 for the umbrella, the straw and the pineapple wedged to the side of the halves glass? 😉 😉
Spot on with the girl’s blouse bit, although a touch baggier than the gent’s shirt, I find the material much softer on the skin and more breathable 😀

Actually, the place was a right woman’s wine bar. Owned by some porn king and a geezer who used to be in Grange Hill. We don’t drink halves down here, we drink out of broken bottles ‘cos we’re so hard. With rusty nails in the bottle. And razor blades! (At least I don’t drink Southern Comfort like some softies I could mention) 🙂
