AC Milan Fan Club in the UK

i thought about the club badge, i know it should go somewhere ... i'm just not sure where. From a design point of view it's not very striking and i was wondering if it would be necessary to have as part of the main image ?

For me the lion (apart from the fossa dei leoni link) symbolises the passion, ferocity and strength of the team and the fans, plus as i drew it myself i quite like it The other thing is that there will be other graphics too, smaller ones to fill content boxes and the like, i might make one box just have the club badge inside. I'll have a look at it tomorrow and see if the badge works as well as the lion and if the badge works when it's quite a large size.

I have to admit, i never thought about putting the whole UK flag on the image, i think i stayed away from it because the image might get "too busy" if you like, too many elements fighting for control ... less is more after all. This is also why i have only really used 2 pictures and not had lots of different ones. I only used enough of a UK flag to act as a suggestion and it must work because you recognised it Buju

I will take on your comments (likewise with anyone elses) and carry on with it. Like i said, it's not totally finished, i just wanted to post something to show i have been doing something

The side graphics, the chrome, the red and green tabs, they're all temporary so don't get too attached to them, i'm not sure what parts will stay or go yet.

You get the point, hope you like it.

Looks good so far mate.

This whole thing seems to be moving along nicely. Anyone putting the effort into this, it's appreciated by everyone I'm sure.

So. Whats the first thing you're gonna do now ?

build the rest of the site Sally

Im having the same problem as Im building up a Juve fan club in malaysia but so far the progress has been great, our members have passed the 150 required, our official website is to be up soon, our company is legally established and we managed to get special discounts from Nike for the Juventus jerseys for the fan club members.. we have also organized our own events like our match gatherings, futsal competitions etc

I'll check with my friend who is also building a milan fan club in malaysia on his progress.. will let you know asap

lol ok

Brilliant guys, the work seems to be going brilliant. Im lookiong forward to the site jim, much appreciated for all the hard work you are putting in. pm me if you need any help off me i will gladly help

same here, jim I'm alright with web design so if you want me to give you hand with any flash things, graphics or anything so you can focus on the grand design just tell me what you want done and I'll do it.

what I would like to know sally is what qualifies as a member in the conception stage? I mean it's ok to say yeah I'll join and that's that but surely there has to be some sort procedure. Would we be better setting it up first and trying to turn our club into an official club when we get the required memberships?

setting it up as a company shouldn't be to hard, we need to get a constitution together first though. I've not got a great deal of experience with all this but I'm on a commitee that is setting up a charity right now and it dosn't seem that much trouble.

if ye need any help pm me but im in cape cod for the summer so wont be much help until i get back to ireland in sept where i hav regular inter net access

I didn't get a PM about anything. I don't know whether it's because you have my username down there as a misspelling.

sehnsucht79 Thank you for the info.
It looks like we need to get a list going of all those interested in joining so if everyone can start by making up a list of their own (out of people they know) and then we can count up how many interested people we have in around 2 weeks?

For the time being the site that Jim will design will serve the purpose of a holdong page with information on what were're planning to do so that we can refer to it when applying for fan club status.

Nicostallion would you be able to contact the AIMC? this is the link to their site and there you will find the contact details. That would be a great help as it will pin point what are the requirments for a fan club (from the horses mouth). If you could do this we would be very grateful.

As for the rest of the guys, I really appreciatte your help and participation and lets spread the word more in the forum as there must be more of the members that live in the UK. I will from my end design a business plan as it looks like we will maybe have to set things up as a non-profit making company and I will also contact my friends in the other Milan fan clubs for more info.

Keep the suggestions coming and lets do this!!!!!!

So we know we will need a

yeh man im from uk i know not much milan fans

I agree with Meazza in many ways.We should organise a club anyway and then become an Official Milan Club.The carrot of an official club and the benefits that would bring(tickets to matches mainly) would hopefully entice many to join as there may not be much point in just joining a Milan Club if there were no real benefits.So it must be also a short term aim to be "official" even if we are not at the outset.
