City fan 1982 Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 No ,not a bloke surfing on the toon ! Newcastle fans have raised £15k for a huge surfer flag, have seen a few people on Facebook mention we could do a crowdfunding campaign for one at the gate . Whilst I think it looks good , could such a target be reached ? Or would it be better to raise as much as possible and have smaller displays ,two poles etc. Just seems a lot to spend , just to unfurl just before kick off , only to fold it up and put it away soon after Thoughts .....

Admin phantom Posted May 7, 2019 Admin Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 We already have two - Murray one and the England flag Surprised they were not brought out for the Derby game with the club trying to push the atmosphere so much that day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a joke really. Are they held by the club? We should have the Murray surfer out for big games at AG, pass it along the South Stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFCinNW6 Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 They should crack it out just before half time at the Doman to keep everyone in place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People too worried they'll miss a few seconds of players shaking hands before kick off & rush it away from them. Best one recently, was when a few of us simply held it in place in the Atyeo and didn't surf it across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a joke really. The two large surfers mentioned above (Murray and St George) have both been on display a number of times over the past couple of seasons. Main problems have been ; 1) Not many people help to organise 2) Not many people know how to surf it properly and it ends up a mess with people just trying to pass it by their heads as quickly as possible. 3) Not many people to help tidy up afterwards. Those things combined mean they come out rarely now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree slightly, was asked to sort the one to start in the Dolman for the two Manchester games all went ok, only problem was we were supposed to start it when the teams came out but there was a slight delay so the flag went slightly earlier Those that asked me know myself and the other two who helped will always start it off from E34 Maybe part of the problem people aren't asked to help?
