Next Match Poster
 

Whats your thoughts on having a poster A4 size with details of the next game that can be downloaded and printed off for people to display in their cars, places of work, pubs, shops etc.
Will be good for getting the gate figures up next season.
I'm willing to do this every week and upload it
It doesn't want to be graphic heavy but what would you like to see on it if it is done?
Look forward to seeing your reply's

Edit - A quick Google found THIS ONE

Re: Next Match Poster
 

we already do that..... on fishy site

Re: Next Match Poster
 

Really? Lol, we'll scrap that one then :)
Give us a clue, I cant find it - maybe it should be put somewhere where we can find it easily:)

Re: Next Match Poster
 

I Dont Think My Image Worked Hehe

Re: Next Match Poster
 

I think its a great idea. Put it this way it can't do any harm.

I can't find one on the official site neither, and I have never heard of there being one there, so maybe it's not working as it should.....

Re: Next Match Poster
 

Car posters are available from club shop & have been for a while.

Re: Next Match Poster
 

He means This with "STANLEY NEED YOU". Its probably the slogan on his poster ;)

Re: Next Match Poster
 

I think it would be a start. Ive heard asked before but never heard an answer so I ask again...can the club not get something BIG on the side of the pub or that house next to it??

Im thinking the type of thing Burnley have, it would definitely get seen by a lot of people and im sure would bring in some new punters.

Re: Next Match Poster
 

Staveros I Love You!

Re: Next Match Poster
 

Well I think I might do this anyway as I cant find one on the fishy site, wont do any harm if there are 2 posters available anyway will it?
Anything that can get more people to the games next season has to be a good thing.
All I ask if you can put a Yes or a No on here to let me know if you would download it and print it, I dont want to be doing one every week if no-one is going to use it

Re: Next Match Poster
 

We need a bigger Club House or another very long bar so we can more punters in. Getting to the bar is becoming a little disconcerting, the guy behind me on Saturday had a bloody big smile on his face and I weren’t happy. I though he was after me wallet…..

Nice idea though. I think that we should spend the closed season selling the essence of Accrington Stanley to the locals. Too few shops and businesses demonstrated there commitment. More bodies will fill our town next season local business should be looking to keep them around after the game spending the least they could do is give over some window space and display a poster for their own, as well as the clubs benefit.
<O:p
There are more pubs on Whalley Road than you can shake a stick at, this summer I would love to see Accrington Stanley written large across all the frontages i.e. <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com[IMG] /><st1:Street w:st=[/IMG]<st1:address w:st=" /><st1:City w:st="on">Stanley </st1:City></ST1:pflags and scarf’s fluttering on the breeze and a warm wet welcome to our league two opposition.

Re: Next Match Poster
 

I don't see any reason why not. If the club is happy to back the idea and allow use of the crest I would stick a couple in the rear windows of the car the day before the game and then for the transit down the motorways home.....:)


I would love an England flag with the Accrington Stanley Crest in the centre or the top inner corner. Anyone know of anyone who can produce them? :)

Re: Next Match Poster
 

That sounds like a great idea Doug. I'm sure I've seen somewhere that produces t-shirts to order. Maybe they do flags too. I'll have a look for it.

Re: Next Match Poster
 

the posters are available form the officail site for all home games the appear on the fixtures page..but as we have no home games left there are no more for this year! so dont really think there is a need for you to make another set KSH....but good idea and keep an eye out for them next season :)

Re: Next Match Poster
 

Why do I get the feeling no one believes me?

Posters for the next home game have been available from the official website... Either on the fixture list or from the opposition club information section... Clear as day a link saying POSTER... I dont know how confusing that was..

The reason you can't see them now is because as mister timmins quite rightly points out.. there no home games left.

These posters where automatically generated.. using the info from the database and the club logo... the link only appeared for home games and quite rightly dissapeared after the game had been played.. all this from a script I wrote.

Just because you can't see them now doesn't mean they never existed :)


OK SO....As its all computer generated then it has its limitations... graphics, extra info and pow! :) if KSH wants to provide posters for each match next season and they contain more than logo and standard info.. if they have that little bit more as I suspect they will then get in touch with the man that counts... ie me :) I wil sort out your own upload and editor system for the official website so you can have full control of that... I will kill off the magic script and the advert for the poster will point to your uploaded file.

If ya want to join our merry band of website workers ... Get in touch and show me an example poster :)

Re: Next Match Poster
 

I dont think it was a case of no one believing you matey - its just ironic that someone asked this question after the last home game when theyve been there all season isnt it!! :D The law of the sod I believe!

PS. Do you want maps doing for the new teams for next season mate? If so, are they going to be used this time? :) I did some at the beginning of this season for the teams that came down and up into the Conference but they never materialised... eg. Kidderminster, Altrincham et al... oh unless my ad blocker is not showing them ... but I can see others so I think Im right ;)

Jimbo T :horn8:blower

Re: Next Match Poster
 

There was loads of messing wiht the maps...resize and get into 420 pixels wide and still readable...

if you can make sure they are 420 pixels wide.... dont look obviouse like they have been lifted from a certain proggy (colourize them or summat)... and all still readable then I will deffo use :)

Re: Next Match Poster
 

Ahh right ok

Jimbo T :horn8:blower

Re: Next Match Poster
 

can someone tell me the fishy website please

Re: Next Match Poster
 

www.accringtonstanley.co.uk google not something you have heard of????

Re: Next Match Poster
 

I would be happy to do some posters weekly if the person who started the thread does not wish to do it :)

Re: Next Match Poster
 

Cheers Samf however KSH has expressed an interest by PM

BUT I DID WANT TO ASK YOU TO DO SOME MORE GFX FOR ME... CAN YOU MAIL ME.. NEED SOME FANCY PLAYER PROFILE PICS:)

oops caps lock:(

Re: Next Match Poster
 

I have now sorted this out with Kipax and am currently working on a template for it, any views about what should be on it?
I dont want to miss anything but there again I dont want it cluttered or too graphic heavy.
I am hoping to have a different picture on every weeks poster (As long as Kipax lets me use them :) ) but for the time being it will be one from this season so that means the 1st one or two won't show the new kit

Re: Next Match Poster
 

just remember people still have to think about how much ink they are using printing these posters so therefore a picture may take up a fair bit of ink???

Re: Next Match Poster
 

I know, thats why I say they don't want to be graphic heavy, it won't be a full size photo

Re: Next Match Poster
 

Here is the template for the new poster for home games, hoping to change the picture every game but as you can see I will have to choose the right pics as I dont want it to end up too graphic heavy.
I am working on one for away games but have to get a few permissions and details yet.
It should be available for download for every game next season from a link on the fishy site.
http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/a...1&d=1147279425

Re: Next Match Poster
 

Just make sure you change the 'were back' to we're back and the 'its' to it's.

Otherwise it's a great idea.

Re: Next Match Poster
 

Done............. lol

Re: Next Match Poster
 

i'd love to see 500 of these posted around town. Cracking effort!

Re: Next Match Poster
 

I'll tell you what i'll do then, if you offer to go round the town asking shops to display them i'll print them, i'll do 100 and see how they go - how's that
You could mention to them that a poster will be available for download every week from the official site, they might display one every week then :)

Re: Next Match Poster
 

I'll go round wi'em, I can tie it in with red and white fortnight

Re: Next Match Poster
 

As soon as we get the fixtures for next season I will print them off then, give me a nudge to remind me - got a terrible memory :)

Re: Next Match Poster
 

can anybody volunteer for Oswaldtwistle, Clayton, Baxenden, Huncoat?

Re: Next Match Poster
 

great poster...I will be chuffed if the price stays the same!;) ;) ;)

Re: Next Match Poster
 

So will I
I was going to put £20 £10 and £5 but didn't want to give anyone any ideas :)

Re: Next Match Poster
 

Excellent, it’s has something nostalgic about it but at the same time screams we’re back. I love it. :)

Re: Next Match Poster
 

Re: Next Match Poster
 

Poster now showing correct prizes for 2006/7
I dont know yet if the download link will allow a choice of images or not, if it does I plan on doing a smaller version as some think A4 is a bit too big and some shops etc will not allow it to be put up. "If " there is a choice, I will upload it to save anyone having to mess about re-sizing it themselves, the smaller one will be approx 7" X 5" (2 images on an A4 sheet)

Re: Next Match Poster
 

I cant do the above but i will volenteer to do Barlick, YES we do have a few Stanley fans over here, not loads but i`m working on it.:)

Re: Next Match Poster
 

Ground name changed

Re: Next Match Poster
 

Do you want to do this for the 1st home league game or for the Burnley friendly?

Re: Next Match Poster
 

Sorry K .. will get on this...this week ... Can you ftp them up if I give you a login?

Re: Next Match Poster
 

Yeah no problem, the ones i'm doing for Macca i'm printing for him, I said i'd do 100 and he's gonna do the leg work round the town :)
Will there be an option of sizes or will i just be able to upload 1 image?

Re: Next Match Poster
 

just have the one image that will print to A4 and try not to make too big in size ...kb ...:)

Re: Next Match Poster
 

OK i'll scrap the 2 images on 1 page and keep the original A4 one, is 170kb OK?

Re: Next Match Poster
 

deffo Burnley match. As I said I'll be trying to recruit for RED AND WHITE FORTNIGHT at the time so it will give me something else to go in with.

Re: Next Match Poster
 

Consider it done then, i'm on with them now - I wont be a happy chappy if they change this fixture now i've set the printer for the 1st 50 copies :)
I'll arrange to drop them off to you sometime this week, i'll do you 100 full size and 50 at 2 per page so you will have 200 to distribute :)

Re: Next Match Poster
 

looks like I need to mug a paperboy for his satchel

Re: Next Match Poster
 

Might be a good idea, I have done 100 large and about 75 of the smaller ones so that gives you around 250 to hand out.
Someone did mention about printing costs, I have done 175 sheets (approx) most used was red and black and both of these are still about three quarters full and they had slight use before I started printing the posters.

Re: Next Match Poster
 

am doing poster stuff for site now.... your just doing home games yes?

Re: Next Match Poster
 

I said I would do both if you think people will use them, 1st few gonna have the same picture on though as I haven't found any more suitable yet - i'm relying on you getting some from the friendly's :)

Edit - I have done both templates, was just waiting for more details about coaches next season ie who's taking bookings etc will it be Frasers or Accy Stanley

Re: Next Match Poster
 

Well I have done it just for home games.. for now... away games seems a bit hmmmm well lets see how we go first... what do others think?

theres a PM coming to you as all setup :)

Re: Next Match Poster
 

No problem with me, like I said its all set up just need phone details etc for coach bookings - did I email you a copy of it? it had a Fraser coach on it - cant remember if I did or not. If you or anyone else thinks its worth doing just let me know and i'll finalise it

Re: Next Match Poster
 

Poster is official accy stanley poster.. this is unnoficial forum.. the poster should have fishy stanley website url not accyweb url please :)

Re: Next Match Poster
 

Agreed, i've just printed a couple off for work and noticed it reads www.accringstanley.co.uk they are now in the bin.

Re: Next Match Poster
 

Web adress changed and re-uploaded, sticky fingers tonight - sorry
Image wont print right if I do it from the browser window, works Ok though if I right click and save the image then print it from the PC

Re: Next Match Poster
 

All works now from FIXTURE LIST and from each team in the OPPOSITION and also on front page NEXT GAME all will show a link to POSTER but only if the poster exists... so it up to KSH to keep them coming and change them when fixtures change etc :)

Re: Next Match Poster
 

Any idea whats going wrong with the prints? its like they are being placed in a blank page and being resized, I have done all the page set up etc and removed margins, date, page no's etc but it wont print full size

Re: Next Match Poster
 

Its being displayed exactly the same size you upload it.. ie 576 x 768 or somehting like that... thus it will only print to that.. If you want to print it A4 or smaller then you need to make it that size ... guesswork this of course.... ..

Re: Next Match Poster
 

Hmmm, I just uploaded a test print to the Blackpool game (says burnley but i'll delete it later) and thats 3000 x 2100 pixels and that prints exactly the same size, anyone any idea whats going on here - gonna have to work more in these pixels to get used to their ways, I only work in inches :-) if I want a print 10" x 8" thats what I set it too !!

Re: Next Match Poster
 

I`m no expert but isnt the print quality worked in Pixels per inch, so even if you increase the amount of pixels the picture will still be the same size just better quality.

Re: Next Match Poster
 

well yeah and no, you can set an image size ie length X width in pixels
take my image for example thats (was) 792 pixels high, i want it to print at 72dpi so 792 / 72 gives you an image height of 11.
But it wasn't working that way for some reason, I tried again at 1000 pixels and it was OK in Firefox but cut an inch off in IE, now set at 900 and seems to be Ok in both, gives you a print of approx 9X6 which I'm happy with - anyone willing to test them for me?
PS - in Firefox you have to click the image to get to the full size one or it will only print approx 6" high

Re: Next Match Poster
 

Yeah i`ll test one for you i`ll send it to work as we have a decent printer there. just send me a link to the image and i`ll download it.

Re: Next Match Poster
 

Go to http://www.accringtonstanley.co.uk/i.../fixtures2.php
and select one of the "posters"

Re: Next Match Poster
 

I`ll print it out tomorrow and let you know if it turned out alright.

Re: Next Match Poster
 

It will print Ok as a poster, its not photo quality as its only 72dpi, I wanted to see if it printed at the right size straight from the browser (IE and Firefox), if you save it to PC it should print A4 size

Re: Next Match Poster
 

A4 in pixels is 2480x3508

Re: Next Match Poster
 

Thanks KSH - next 3 home match posters printed and in the car - for those who aren't sure how to resize - I changed the margin sizes to 1" all round and custom sized to 155 which worked for me. Prints just slightly smaller than A4 size.

Re: Next Match Poster
 

All home fixture posters for this season are now available on the fishy site.
At the min they all contain the same image but I will be updating them as I get new images and if there are any fixture changes.
Just got the Notts Forest one to do - thinking of doing a different one for this cup tie - any suggestions welcome.
I got 3 up at work for the Burnley friendly and just printed one out to put in the car - have you got yours?
That reminds me - new car and no Accy Stanley sticker in yet, must nip to the club shop one day

Re: Next Match Poster
 

Carling cup tie against Notts Forest now updated

Re: Next Match Poster

Re: Next Match Poster
 

Nice poster, but it needs an amend - "your" should be "you're".

Re: Next Match Poster
 

Thanks, bit too late for the print i'm half way through though :) it's been updated now for anyone downloading it
Note to myself - must check posters properly in the future :)

Re: Next Match Poster
 

OK, well, not the end of the world. I noticed it because I'm paid to check stuff like that. If you ever want any posters proofreading, just let me know.

Re: Next Match Poster
 

Will do as long has I dont have too pay you two :)










Mistakes are there on purpose just to check you're not gonna charge me lol :)

Re: Next Match Poster
 

I'm after some slogans to put on the posters if anyone has any ideas, don't want the "it's taken 44 years" etc to be on all the posters, could do with a change now and then

Re: Next Match Poster
 

Wot missteaks? ;)

Re: Next Match Poster
 

There's "Roars and tears its been a long 44 years." :D Just a thought.

Re: Next Match Poster
 

I really like the posters KSH !:D :D :D

Well done - and sorry it has taken me so long to get around to saying it !!! :o :o :o

Re: Next Match Poster
 

I have started a new post called "its slogan time" I will put this in there

Re: Next Match Poster
 

I just downloaded the Rochdale poster but the date is out, it reads Sat 28/8/06 but Sat is on the 26th, not major but you may find some turning up on the Monday.

Re: Next Match Poster
 

Thanks Haz66, much appreciated, it's been updated now, refresh your browser when you open it again (press F5)

Re: Next Match Poster
 

Player graphics updated upto the Wycombe game, Mullin and Boco now have the Fraser eagle logo (didn't like the Fifa one), not happy with the Boco one though, excellent celebration shot but the shirt prints too dark now for some reason, looks Ok on my PC :confused: but sure our Mr K will have plenty of opportunities to get some good ones against Rochdale :)
"Family ticket" also added upto the Wycombe game
