Accy Carnival float
Right we have until tuesday morning to decide if we are doing a float for the carnival.
We have a wagon sorted but it needs confirming or cancelling before tuesday. The original plan was that the OSC were gonna do the stall at the field and The Ultras were gonna do the float. But I haven't been able to get hold of Jase so nobody seems to know whether it will happen or not, and if it is, what is happening. So we need a contingency, does the Stanley side of Accy web want to run the float. We have a couple of ballpark ideas to play around with but get a few of you together and come up with your own ideas if you wish. STANLEY HAS TO BE REPRESENTED AT THE CARNIVAL! You all now have a chance to get involved and parade yourselves in front of Accy as Stanley Supporters. It will take up your saturday morning on the 16th June, but after that the day is your own. And we will prob have the pub crawl afterwards. Those who had offered or were planning on being involved with the stall can do both still but I need at least a couple of volunteers with me to help set it up, everybody else can their ugly mugs on all the pictures. Who is in? |
Re: Accy Carnival float
Well I am free that day, but what is it you want doing? I can help but dont have any idea of me own! :(
|
Re: Accy Carnival float
Same as kisser :D But don't fancy being on the float, I will just stay on the stall :o
|
Re: Accy Carnival float
I wouldnt mind being on the float!!! :p :D
|
Re: Accy Carnival float
I'll not comment on the last two post for fear of Retribution. There's not alot I can offer, I will be over on the day and I'll make sure I'm kitted up, I've sent a pm re the other thing.
|
Re: Accy Carnival float
we need some bodies to put on the float and we need somebody to dress the float with whatever and even just wave flags.
we just need to be there in the parade. |
Re: Accy Carnival float
why dont you get celtic cross doing cart on stanley live on back of the float and make your theme rock n roll or sumthin like that make sure yuove got plenty of osc applications throw them out to the crowd with free sweetys or rock with one having the chance of winning a free years membership cause an interest:confused:

Re: Accy Carnival float
Macca... I am more than impressed with your energy however i feel the club should be offering support as well.
It's essential Stanley are on the parade but it needs everybody to move quickly here and that includes the club. Will the club get Surridge's to donate some give aways Tees/footballs etc after all they are only up the road and the carnival is a community project ?? come on Rob or anybody at the club Get involved this is TOP public relations. I cant donate the time as i'm unavailable but am more than happy to send up a few boxes of sweets. Good luck in this great venture. |

Re: Accy Carnival float
get the kids on the float!!!!!!!!
Well KSH? its up to you mate. Half a dozen or so there but Jase has said he will put bodies on the float - just haven't been able to get hold of him in the past few days to confirm. I've got a few people who can set up the OSC stall so I'll man the float as well. Does that give us enough people? I'll rope a few in on the day I am sure. |
Re: Accy Carnival float
I'm happy now there seems to be a bit of interest, we'll keep it, just hope the people who said they'll help turn up
|
Re: Accy Carnival float
I'd look quite funny on a 40 foot trailer on me own!
|
Re: Accy Carnival float

|
Re: Accy Carnival float
offer accepted, will PM or post details in the week leading up to it.

Me and the two little maccas, Squaddy, Red Osbornello, Danny and Harry (you were drunk last night but agreed and signed up nevertheless) and I am sure that we'll collar a good few that week. John Timmins? Everybody who is coming, could you please (as far as possible) wear your workclothes and a Stanley scarf. I want to show the diversity of the fan base as much as possible. Also Fraser the Eagle is unavailable that day due to the annual migration to sunier climes, but the suit is available to anybody who would like to dress up? PM me if anybody else is interested and would like to get involved PM me if anybody is interested in being Fraser for the day. What you doing that day Diesel? |

Re: Accy Carnival float
BUMP
And also ...... Jase has finally come up with an idea that he is excited about but won't tell me. The wagon will be in the assembly area from 7am (details to follow) so could as many people as possible start arriving from that moment onwards to help 'dress' the float. If you can't be there that early, please ensure that you have arrived by 9:30am at the latest. Also waiting on confirmation from Zero whether Celtic Cross will be strutting their stuff on the float. If anybody has an excess of red balloons they don't need (or want to buy and donate) could you please post on here. Bodies definitely required, young or old, male or female - just proud to be from Accrington (or honorary) and willing to display their Stanley affiliation. This year we won't be doing the chucking out of sweets or balloons etc but we aim to have as good a do as possible, get as many people involved as possible, and gear up for the mother of all floats next time out. To everybody who has helped us this year thank you very much but can we have one final push? To everybody who hasn't helped but would like to have done, this is your last chance for this season. To everybody who hasn't helped, didn't want to help, and has no intention of helping - please give us a loud cheer as we go past you. Could all those planning on being on the float please, as far as possible, wear your workwear and a Stanley scarf. It is not terribly important but would help towards the overall theme of the float. Now then, where are all the Ultra lads? :idunno: we need your noise and numbers please |

Re: Accy Carnival float
I am pretty sure before the site was updated last few days that on the field attractions it did say Accrington Stanley Supporters Club? :):)
If you still want bodies for the float myself and son will give you a hand don't know what time it will be after rely on Mrs.Pendle for a lift but will defo be before 9.30a.m. will try to get hold of some Red Ballons (I have one source but they might have "sale" on them would they be of any use?) The workwear thing does it matter if we just wear the Red Stanley tops? Is there owt else to source?;) |
Re: Accy Carnival float
Got anyone to wear the Fraser Eagle costume?
Still think spud would look good in it pushing the pram, you up for it Spud :D |

Re: Accy Carnival float
no volunteers at all for the Fraser suit. Not even sure if we could still get it now as I think the usual wearer is now on holiday. Pendle, 9:30 is fine if you wanna come down and join us and the more balloons the better, even if they are not plain. As far as work wear is concerned its not essential just our little bit at trying to prove the cross section of society that watches the Reds.

Re: Accy Carnival float
I cant wear my works uniform i'd be told off by the boss if i got caught wearing it outside of work. So i'll be there in my usual clothes jeans and tshirt and trainers

No thats not us sorry. We couldn't get anything ready in time for this carnival due to other commitments and the fact that more than half of our squad are not around due to holidays and stuff. We already have plans in place for the next one though!!! Just too early in our life cycle to do it this time, we aren't even a year old yet!!! I however will be manning (? womanning?) the OSC Stall on the field with Uk Cowboy, Harwood Red and Accy Mad amongst others and we will be doing special deals on some of the brand new merchandise, such as buy 1 t-shirt for £8, then buy a second identical t-shirt for £8 aswell, and stuff like that!!!!:D See you all saturday!!! |
Re: Accy Carnival float
Can anyone tell me what time I ought to be at the stall on the field? There is a chance that I could come to Accrington on Saturday and I'll be pleased to help if I can get there.
|
Re: Accy Carnival float
As far as I know we haven't got a definate time yet but I'm sure even if you can't get there for the start it won't matter as I reckon some of us may be glad to be relieved at some point.
|
Re: Accy Carnival float
Myself and Uk Cowboy will probably be down there from 9.30 ish but we awaiting confirmation of time from macca.

PLEASE NOTE Assembly point is Globe centre car park Scaitcliffe st will be closed to traffic though so you will have to gain access to the car park by using Brown St and Richmond St |

Does that mean two identical t-shirts for £8 (two for £8 instead of £8 each)? :confused:Confusing myself now!! clever sales pitch whichever!!:) |
Re: Accy Carnival float
My lad who is "4ft 9" would be willing to don the Fraser the Eagle Costume but I fear he may be too small? Struggling on the Red Balloons but will keep trying, Is there anything else needed for the float?:rolleyes:
|
Re: Accy Carnival float
pendle ask some local companies i know interlink express have supplied a few before today.
i will help out were needed |
Re: Accy Carnival float
Might be a bit late but try ebay for balloons - I bought loads of pink ones for my party and there were only a couple of pounds.

Re: Accy Carnival float
Sixty Red Balloons ordered will collect them on Friday and bring them Saturday morning hope you lot have got a lot of wind:p will try to make it earlier if you do need a hand putting the float together? Junior Pendle is now going to a Birthday Party on Saturday so will be me on my ownsome but as he had volunteered for the Fraser the Eagle costume it only seems right that I do it if you are still going ahead with it? (he was probably too small anyway) I am 5ft 11 blue eyes and like reading (sorry got carried away thought I was at beauty pageant or something) the height is correct so if you do still need a volunteer you got one!:):)
|
Re: Accy Carnival float
Ryt for give me for being stupid but who is going on the float and what are they wearing stanley shirt or summat.
|
Re: Accy Carnival float
workwear and scarf or if you can't wear workwear (school uniform anybody?) then the Stnaley shirt will be fine. For anybody else new OSC t-shirts should be on sale on the day.
Thanks for the balloons Pendle Red, karma on the way!! |

Re: Accy Carnival float
where can I park my car to get merchandise to the stall?? Also do you need me to bring cash float rob? as I have sorted it just in case you didn't get round to it with all running around :D
|
Re: Accy Carnival float
yes, you can bring the float if you like. I had asked AccyJay to sort some but I can unask him if you've got some.
You should be able to park right up close to the field from either Burnley Road or that little side street that goes up to the path to the pub. But nobody I have been able to contact me has said exactly. There are massive bouncy castle type things and ice cream vans etc that seem to get there so I would imagine its a case of seeing a steward when you get there. Sorry, I've tried to be more helpful but can't get anywhere. Will post tomorrow if I find out anymore. |

Re: Accy Carnival float
For the people wearing Stanley shirts on the float, what do you think to wearing your oldest shirt so that there is an array of shirts from a broad era rather than all the same shirts from last season.
Just a thought. |
Re: Accy Carnival float
i cant wait. It will be a long day tho 90mins it takes the float to do the route thats the same length as a match.
|
Re: Accy Carnival float
:)Idea of wearing older shirts could prove to be a bit of a misconception, I think the idea of most people wearing last seasons shirt presents a more united approach although the theme is diversity so I know where you are coming from. Whichever is chosen one thing is for sure we will all be united in the cause of highlighting Stanley and the Supporters Club to the fair citizens of Accrington:)

Re: Accy Carnival float
Good luck with this thingy guys and girls.I hope its a raging success.

Re: Accy Carnival float

Re: Accy Carnival float
I'll be wearing vintage and will take along a spare as well.
Enjoy it people and thank you all very much for your offers of help, or ideas, or your well wishes. Just remember that we are representing the club and lets be on best behaviour. If you must partake of any alcohol please disguise it in coke bottles or summat (shouldn't say it but I know it'll happen). LETS ALL BE PROUD TO SHOUT OUT IN FRONT OF TEN THOUSAND PEOPLE THAT WE ARE THE STANLEY. |
Re: Accy Carnival float
60 Red Balloons got! do we need any string for tieing said balloons up?
If I make my way towards Abbey Street around 8.30a.m am I in the right area? |
Re: Accy Carnival float
Ryt i will wear a vintage top well it's newish but vintage stlye stanley...
Do you know where the skate park is pendle it is the biggest building in site for there or even the railway station ?? |
Re: Accy Carnival float
Ring me when you ar enearby Pendle and I'll direct you in.
But the best way is to go for Abbey St til you hit the Petrol Station, turn right and follow the street down to the bottom and turn right, left, left and then right at the roundabout, left at the roundabout and then you are at the Globe Centre. Or if you know where the train station is, its a little further up that street. |
Re: Accy Carnival float
How many are on the float macca ?
