I've already checked this one and they are illegal in British stadia, so provided you don't mind ejection from the ground, arrest, probable fine and possible ban they're ok.

If you're talking flares I guessed that would be the case, just joking anyway.

| There was a flare at the last FC United game of last season. As far as i know the fella didnt get kicked out; however i do know they are illegal in all stadia in this country.

I wasn't, though. That's why I checked.

| Quote: Jimmy Birts Lives On "OK, the club have been in touch & think the idea of a section for flags, banners, scarves, singing etc is great one. I've arranged to meet with the key movers & shakers (Marketing Manager, Stadium Manager etc).
Some ideas already raised by others include - location (South East corner??), free scarves, are flags on large flag poles allowed, storage & access to flags and banners on matchday..
Any other ideas ?'"
South East corner definately, its the perfect place, there's lots of room, its away from the little scallies and you wont need to be in at 6.30 to stand'sit together. All in all its a fantastic idea and I will most definately be getting a flag on barmy flags for next season.

Don't you think it would be better to sort it in an area where seats can be reserved? As soon as the scallies see whats going on i dont think it would take em long to invade, maybe the club could sort a reserved section within the south stand although there could be difficulties involved in this.
In terms of flags, i'm sure we could get a few people chippin in and get a few made. Ive got ideas of a few that i wouldnt mind getting done.

Thing is though, you want to encourage others to join in but don't want the scallies involved. Impossible to judge people & turn them away. I honestly think that the 'chavs' for want of a better word will want to retain their position in the middle of the South Stand. If the drum thing can be controlled in a designated part of the ground then most chavs won't want to be separated from a drum. They'd rather lose a leg.
In terms of flags, if you have any ideas, put them up here. If you can't do the artwork, I'm sure someone will help out if you just put the idea up. Rolf Zaugg helped me design the Boston flag. A few people have PM'd me about chippin in for flags. If you can get a quote on a flag let us know and we'll see what reaction there is.

I think that the south end of the Boston stand would be best, so it would be a reserved section but there may be a problem with any existing season ticket holders.

No, definately South East corner for me, if we had reserved seating in the south east corner of the east, how could people join in once it does catch on? People who dont use the net who dont know about it etc etc.
Also, flags banners etc would definately look miles better behind the posts, like a kop.

| Always sat in the South East corner before this season and the atmosphere is much better than the East. Not sure about this season, as it looks like the South Stand support has dwindled a bit this year.
Been itching to get back in the South since the first game of the season

The only reason we moved was for reserved seating. When the SS was at the height of it's popularity around 2007/8, you had to be in the ground at 7.15 to guarantee your usual place
But, you just can't beat being behind the posts and hearing the roar when Wigan are attacking that end in a tense match. And the queue for a pint is much shorter!!

It wasn't a flare mate, it was a smoke bomb.
