    Just a quick question: there are no leg warmers on the order, right?


  • Registered Users Posts: 559 ✭✭✭fillup


    Ok, possibly a stoopid question but remember there are no stoopid questions only.....

    If you're a large and you're buying a jacket (the defender in this case) shouldn't you get a large as the manufactures would have factored in that this is a jacket that is going to have a few layers under it?

    Cheers

    If it's really like the gabba, then no. The strecgabiliy of the fabric is what makes it warm. Ie it should be tight to ensure warmth

    So you get whatever size you are normally?

    And is there anywhere in Dublin that stocks Gabbas so I could try one on?

    Right as in No. Didnt think there would be enough demand for them!

    Fellow Boards'ies

    Hi All

    the DeFends are a tight race/aero fit jersey that would accomodate a base layer and a short sleeve jersey under neath at most
    Verge try there best that if you are a large in a jersey you will be a large in a Defend or thermal jacket for instance but its not an exact sicence. remember if you have a boards jersey already and its a snug fit then go up a size for the DeFend as the normal jerseys are a sports fit and the DeFend is a race fit


  • Registered Users Posts: 423 ✭✭zindicato


    just gonna fit one tomorrow in BH then put my order in for the defender


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,679 ✭✭✭bcmf


    Right,
    Been chatting with the one they call 'Dav'.
    Boards HQ can be used as the pick up point again. (Cheers Dav). If you need it posted either drop me a pm or Dav.
    We will be paying into Boards account and Lucca sports will bill Boards.
    The next bit is important.

    LAST DAY FOR PAYMENT IS COB FRIDAY 17TH OCTOBER.IF YOU HAVENT PAID BY THEN YOUR ORDER WILL BE CANCELLED AS THE ORDER WILL BE PLACED ON THE MONDAY.

    ITS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT YOU PUT YOUR BOARDS USERNAME AS THE REFERENCE WHEN PAYING SO WE KNOW WHO HAS PAID WHAT.

    Any questions?
















    Good.
    Carry on.


  • Registered Users Posts: 559 ✭✭✭fillup


    errrrr.. kinda afraid to ask after the shouty bit.....

    How do we make the payment

    and where is Boards HQ?

    cheers


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,679 ✭✭✭bcmf


    AFAIK remember Boards are Ulster Bank but havent got details of their account.

    And Boards HQ is on Golden Lane just off St Great Georges Street in D2 (or is it D.8)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,259 ✭✭✭Hunterbiker


    Is it too late to order?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,679 ✭✭✭bcmf


    Is it too late to order?

    Nope. Spreadsheet a few pages back.


  • Administrators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 74,773 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭Beasty


    Just paid, then realised Dav sent out PMs with the payment details last time. Can't imagine they've closed the account, but is Dav intending doing the same again? Alternatively I (or he) can post the account details here

    Wouldnt imagine they have changed but you wouldn't know!
    Yeah similar to last time except they wont be prepaying so whoever has paid by the Friday - that will be the order!#

    I think the details will be sent by pm. I think the accounting people were overly excited about having the details in a public forum.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,598 ✭✭✭rizzodun


    So... I'm waiting for the pm with the payment details then? Once the whole colour of MTB jersey is ironed out of course.

    Dav is afk until the 14th. Seems even he gets holidays occasionally. Niamh is the one to ask about the bank account in his absence.

    I won't have the money until the 17th. I can do a lodgement that day - or drop it in to HQ at lunchtime (bank draft if necessary). If neither is suitable then I'll have to wait until the next order :(

    A lodgement on the Friday is fine.Once its in their account.

  • Registered Users Posts: 14,228 ✭✭✭✭ednwireland

    The bank details are the same as before so if you still have those, use them, if you don't you can PM me for the details. Cheers :)
