CTIDhc Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 1 minute ago, Harry said: Hi folks. Just wanted to put a couple of things straight. Prior to the Man U game, S82 were liaising with the club in the hope of the club putting some funds toward a stadium-wide display. The idea we put forth was to have all stands saturated with red & white foil flags. Unfortunately, the club could only muster a budget of £500 at that time, so this was effectively a non-starter. Hats off to @Matt Parsons BCFCSLO who has been in regular contact with S82 since his arrival and has grasped the theory of such a display and taken it forward. Somehow Matt has managed to persuade someone at the club that this sort of thing is worth more than their previous £500, so very well done Matt. Matt has taken up the mantle, organised the purchase and the setting up of the display, whilst we in S82 will continue to do our normal bits. So, whilst yes this is a club-funded and club-organised display, this has been in complete consultation with S82, and indeed was what we wanted for the Man U game. For those who worry about those clappers and other god-awful things, please rest assured. Whilst S82 are in consultation with Matt, that sort of rubbish will never happen. Well done to our new SLO on this one. Loving this new S82 and SLO relationship, hats off to both parties for all you do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviestevieneville Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Not a fan of these gimmicks if I'm honest. Love the s82 stuff as it comes across more old skool . Hope I'm wrong btw and it looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Really hoping to be there tomorrow night - Joe will need a last minute fitness test. The S82 stuff is great and I think it gives the players a boost. Fine margins and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the best way to hang these, I don't stand in S82 (unfortunately) but how easy is it to get in there to hang the flag and retrieve after? Finished article attached below, it's a fairly decent size too. Very happy with it! Fan tradition was Ernie should be not be alongside the crest as one of the ideas behind it was to support bring back the Robin (rip Grizz). it was designed to red white and black in a nod to the past when the Robin was used on red white and black kits. good colours used and the Angry Robin is not pointing left which has been seen!!!

Slack Bladder Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 I assume the flags won't be resembling the cross of St George, wasn't that banned earlier in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickolas Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Tbf, i thought it was tacky too. Tin foil flags?! the scarf thing a few seasons back was quality. The ‘city wave’ wasnt it? that was decent. This, i am afraid, was a little tin pot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Not a big fan of the flags but for a one off fair enough. However putting Come On You Reds on the TV screens please no. It’s the semi final of the league cup we don’t need a plastic generated atmosphere. @Matt Parsons BCFCSLO Not agaIn please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibor Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 I hate gimmicks. I thought these were pretty good. Kids loved them and they looked much better than those stinking surfer flags nobody knows how to use. Well done the organisers. Make of that what you will.
