i reckon one of the yellow fever ones aswell, the commentators would be more inclined to say something about one of those if the camera caught it "cant shake the fever... yep the fevers definitely spreading tonight"  or something....

Problem... You can vote more than once.

chocnut please accept my apologies.

I've never come across a forum "multi-vote" poll that allows you to vote for AN option more than once. I just went to try to vote for the same option twice and indeed you were correct - sorry I didn't realise the software was like that

All other "multi-vote" polls I've come across before allow you to select more than one option when you vote, but you can't go back and vote again

Any way to rectify this? I can't obviously make a different poll for every different banner.

make another vote once poll with the 3 main options perhaps?

Yeah there's no idea way - I'm making at least 2 of the ideas hence the multivote poll :/

If the admins have any way of checking for "extreme voting" perhaps they could prune those multiple votes. It's not a problem for people to vote once each for the ideas they like but not cool to vote for any one option more than once.

How is this a problem? I thought it was clearly stated in the OP that I'm making up to 3 banners?

In fact I just did a curtain fabric stocktake and I could possibly even squeeze in a fourth.

This isn't about which is the "best", it's about choosing which ones to make.
 
If you're going to make more than one then I love the "10 more years" and the "come play" ones. If they are near each other the Come PLay one will be clearly obvious what it means to those less in the know.

Should it be:

COME PLAY!
2011-2020

OR:

COME PLAY!
2011-2021

or another configuration of years?

I guess technically it should be 2010-2020?

10-11 (year 1)
11-12 (2)
12-13 (3)
13-14
14-15
15-16
16-17
17-18
18-19
19-20 (year 10)

10 more years. I think that really needs to be emphasised on Sunday. We are here and we want to stay.

Looking very likely I'll be doing a variation of Come Play AND one of the "10 years".

1. Re: Come Play - which years are we putting on it? The season (re)-starts in 2010 and finished in 2020 so should it be 2010-2020? The round numbers help people see the "10 years" too (2011-2020 may seem like "9 years" to some people at first glance).

2. Re: 10 years -

- 10 MORE YEARS or WE WANT 10?
- Arabic text to accompany or not?

10 more years.

Shouldn't it be 2011-2021??!

Doesn't our license expire AFTER the 10/11 season?

So we need a license for 11/12 through to 20/21.

Hence me asking the question. I'm not an expert of such issues so need some clarity on which years were are talking about.

I'm just reading some (old) news about how other teams in the A-League already have 10 year offers while we only have 1 - are we seeking the same 10 years as the other teams or 10 more years after that 1 year? I don't know what the Phoenix have agreed already.

It could be 2011-2021 if I get confirmation.

Also I was reading the news thread for the first time talking about this. Someone suggested something like:

PHOENIX: LICENSE TO PRINT MONEY

- can this be worked on to bring more clarity to the message? It's a reasonable theme to start an idea from.

Come play is brilliant.

Come play and a picture of nz or a kiwi.

Hi Stefan.

Could DEFINITELY manage a Kiwi silhouette. Actually it would actually be FAR easier than the Phoenix crest I had been thinking about putting at the side of the wording. Like it!

Phoenix crest or Kiwi silhouette?

And do you have any idea if it should be 2010-2020 or 2011-2021?

Should be 2011.

Kiwi kicking a ball like the kangaroo if possible.
A banner like that will have to make people think. I think its a really smart idea.

Cheers Stefan, who on YF forums can give me the lowdown on the exact years that we should be putting on this?

It is a 10 year extension we are after.
According to an article, our A-league license runs out at the end of June and Tony P. was hoping to get the extra 10 years.

I was reading this thread: http://yellowfever.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12136&PN=1

Which links in OP to: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/soccer-football/news/article.cfm?c_id=86&objectid=10627885

Which says:

Pignata (article 23 Feb 2010)

"We have ticked a lot of boxes this season and that can only help when FFA chief executive Ben Buckley and chairman Frank Lowy meet Asian president Mohamed bin Hamman to further discuss our participation in the league.

"The other clubs all have a contract offering them a 10-year licence extension sitting on their desks. All we have is the guarantee of one more year.

"Obviously we would like the security of a 10-year licence.

So I'm confused - have we been offered 1 year which we have not yet accepted as we are negotiating more? Or are we after 10 years *after* 1 more year (ie. 2010-2011)? Or something else.

P.S. 'NIX TICK ALL THE BOXES? Probably too deep though.

Note to Mods - thanks for your patience and thread can now be locked. Discussion to move back to the original banner discussion thread:

http://yellowfever.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12194

For the record, the results are that (time permitting) I'm aiming at 3 banners:

1. Come Play!
2. 10 MORE YEARS or variant
3. Terry: You're hired (a commission for Phil at RYOS)

That's the spirit!

You do WE WANT TEN, I'll do 10 MORE YEARS, and then people at the stadium can choose which one they look at

Our current licence expires at the end of the next season - in other words, 2010/2011 season.

All the other clubs have been offered further 10-year licenses starting from the 2011/2012 season, and this is what we are after. So simple maths would tell you that the banner should read COME PLAY 2011-2021.
