Would any others be interested in chipping in to get ourselves some bigger flags?

I'd put £40/£50 in to get the ball rolling. Would be good to get a flag fund going if enough like minded folk were up for it.

Any others interested in pitching in together?

Any one else got any flags for saints match?

I'd be willing to chip in. Spent enough making flags over the years, the big Well Done Wire one included, but none of them have a fire certificate, and with all the fires they've caused over the years I feel it's only right that we purchase one that is safe. If enough cough up, a tenner each might do.

As an aside. Last year's play off game at Wire, loads of people took scarves to hold up for when we sing 'Wise Men'. I thought that looked really good. We should do it each game?

Yeah Barmy Flags, they supplied me with a fire certificate. The HGSA one is from Barmy Flags too great quality but they come with a cost. The KSDL staff were really helpful a few years back, I can't see why they would not allow us to place our flags in the stadium. I will see if I can put mine up on Sunday.

Did you put flag up today mate? If so, where you put it up?

Yeah, looks great when it comes off.

Regarding flag area, what do people think of fantastic media upper? I'm imagining would be less hassle for stewards as they don't have to worry about if anyone wants to sit where flags are. Would be more visible from more parts of ground and on the tele?

Would be easier to build up a larger collection there without worrying about encroaching into allocated seats.....

Had a really positive response from stadium management about having a designated flag / banner display area. They're having a meeting tomorrow to discuss potential areas in stadium and logistics etc. Stadium manager has promised to respond further tomorrow, and wants to meet / discuss later in the week.

So game on for Sunday (fingers crossed).

Reference having collections for larger flags; I've looked into setting up fundraising pages with several websites, but they take a percentage (4-5%) which I'm not keen on. I'm going to contact club about whether they would assist with organising a fund, that we all pay into.

I used to put mine up in the FMU a few seasons back, I think the Britannia Rescue would be a good option.

I think mine is 12ft by 6 ft

Its a claret and gold St Georges Cross with the words

Bringing flag Sunday? If you need a hand putting flag up, send me a PM.

Try flameprotectuk.com. Barmy Flags are using them to get old flags treated and certificated.

Was it up at the FC game? There were a few up. Just need them up at home games and we'll be up and running.
