Any chance the 45 could be replaced with a circular 'heart of soul' or a fist 'keep the faith' badge? (Quality NS reference by the way)

Thanks TonyM19, I've edited the original as suggested.

So.....nothing at all been said post flag meeting. I'm assuming there was a lock in situation and they are still there.

Someone give us a detailed update!

Good venue for the meeting and a decent spread put on by the landlady (who is a Saints fan! In the heart of Wigan Rugby mad Swinley, I know).
About 15 turned up including a few new faces which was good to see.
Decision made to put what money we have at the moment (£120) towards the Formby Flag. That flag costs £160 so we’ve still a bit to raise.

Phase 1 practically complete now as the gantry will be full when those flags on order or about to be ordered arrive.

Heated discussion about Phase 2 and what that should involve. A difference of opinion between going over to the North Stand, trying to turn the South into something resembling the Kop on a big European night i.e. large flags on poles within the stand and a combination of the two.

We agreed to get some quotes for the Kop style flags before making a final decision. We will also need to consult the club about this and for those worried about it obstructing their view, the idea is to use them at times like when the team takes to the pitch and at the end of a game, not during the game. The club want to contribute towards a flag so maybe let them do one over the North Stand. ‘This is Wigan – Forever In Our Shadow’ is my favourite design for that one!

We then talked about trying other ideas besides the flags such as bar scarves. 4000 bar scarves given away at the turnstiles at the Saints game for example. Maybe the club can get their hand in their pocket for this. I think Jukes agreed to contact them about this?

I said on here a few weeks ago they should do something like this. The latics gave out flags against Bolton. They got the sponsor on board so it probably didn't cost much!

I like the forever in our shadow idea! It would have to be pretty big though!

I love the scarf idea, I was looking into myself and got a quote for £4.00 per scarf.

I like the ''THIS IS WIGAN'' idea, but in regards to the 'FOREVER IN OUR SHADOW'' part, I think it's a bit risky if it's a flag solely donated from the club. To me it sounds slightly disrespectful and unprofessional to be coming from the club itself.

Nobody has to know

I don't personally have a problem with putting flags on the North stand because we will run out of room eventually!
