Liking the idea of flags...

probably best down the left hand side of brittania stand near the away fans...

only problem with that is they wont get on tv as the cameras are rarely on that side of the ground so other side or behind posts might be a good idea

Ivor, pm sent, thanks.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards away fans side of brittania. But also fantastic media stand would look good on tv with flags grouped together. I'll contact stadium and club about whether they'd be willing to designate an area. As long as guidelines are clear (fire cert, not covering advertising hoardings etc) then hopefully they'll go for it.

Ill feedback how I get on.

we should do more to get flags at away grounds, i have my big one which i was gonna put up at wigan but no-one would help with it
ended up a few of us holding it up.

Id be up for taking my flag to away games, and would lend a hand putting up others. You'd only need a handful of flags at most SL grounds for it to look quite impressive.

I don't get to all away matches (or home for that matter) but would always be up for helping out with putting flags up etc if needed whenever I go.

Maybe could coordinate via here everyone taking flags to away games, and could at least help each other out putting flags up?

I'm trying to get an early finish from work for widnes game, but will be tight as based in telford, Shropshire.

telford! that is a fair way well done..look forward to seeing the flags!

I used to take my 12ft by 6 ft flag to the games, if other are planning on doing the same I will make sure I have it with me starting from Widnes.

More flags the better! Shows that the fans have gone that one step further, adds a load of colour and looks brilliant on sky!
Can't remember if it was last year or not but one of our posters put up a website address to design your own flag. Anybody know what it was by any chance?

I got mine done at football flags.co.uk. £85 for 8ft x 4ft. Very good service and I'm well chuffed with the result. They use digital print techniques as opposed to traditional embroidery (such as barmy flags who are also good). For reference the same design by barmy flags was quoted at £240. This was due to the complexity of the crest. Flag took about 10 day turnaround from initial email contact with them.

I'll try to get a picture up if I figure out how.

I have 4 x 50cm rope cords for tying down, should be ok? Any feedback welcomed.

Just all remember to get a fire safety certificate otherwise they won't be allowed in.

I think all Footballflags.co.uk flags are all fire certificated as standard.

Going for the away end wing of Britannia. Ivor PM sent. Any else bringing flags tomorrow?

saw the flag in the britannia, well done!

Hope people noticed HGSA's flag.

Yeah, supporters flag looked good. In a good spot too hung in that corner. Mine looked bit lonely tucked away in the corner. She needs some company!

Stewards were adamant that it had to be up against the netting as per safety officers instructions. Not sure it was very visible.

Ivor, would there be any chance of hanging flag next to the supporters association one? That could look good.

Would supporters association be up for a flag fund, whereby people could collate monies to get some bigger flags? I'd be up for putting in some money.

We shall discuss the flag situation at our March committee meeting.
