Designated flag area : Tue Mar 25, 2014 10:33 pm  

I have made contact with the club regarding setting up a designated area for flags / displays in the stadium.

The club has responded positively, and put me onto the stadium manager.

I've put forward the wing of Britannia, and upper tier of fantastic media as options? I know in previous topic / posts there have been a few of us indicating that they'd be up for bringing their flags in.

Would there be support to get this going for the saints game? If I can add weight of numbers to the stadium manager he may be more inclined to go with a designated part of stadium.

I'd also be up for putting money into a collection to put towards a giant flag (pardon the pun), or other mid sized flags. With our attendances well half of capacity, I really think it could add something visually to match day.

Would there be any others for this? This kind of thing could be organised in conjuction with hgsa, or standalone?

Thoughts?

As the fanzine we are hoping we can have enough money by the end of the year to have a big 'pass over' flag!

Would be great if a group of fans could pitch in and 'make John smiths Claret and Gold'

This is something that HGSA is continually championing. We have made a small start with our own flag, and we shall continue with this cause.

i have a big flag which is just plain claret and gold but no wording on it.i will bring it to the saints game if any others are going up?
we have talked before about getting a big flag/banner paying homage to one ken davy, not sure how feasible this would be though.

regarding the saints game, we should try and get as many singers together as we can i reckon, i posted something on the match thread about trying to encourage people to come to the back of the kilner bank and make some noise.
maybe eddie could put something on the fanzines twitter thingy??

So far we have;

Meast
Eaton
Ivor
And myself. (8x4ft st.george "falling in love")

Any others?

How big are flags lads? The hgsa one looked a fair size when I saw it at KR match.

I'm up for meeting up pre match to help put flags up.



Ref the Ken Davy flag / banner idea, I'd be up for putting towards a fund for one. We could set something up on paypal, to collate funds? I'll look into it (either setting up myself or to help someone else set up).

I'll have a look for prices etc and feedback.

Don't forget that all flags entering the stadium need a fire certificate and the stadium management need to see this before the event!
