James Posted April 26, 2023 Report Share Posted April 26, 2023 (edited) **post cleared with SC&T ** Good morning all! Some of you may have already seen similar info on our various social media channels etc. But just to cover all bases, thought it would be good to post on here too! Firstly, just to reiterate, for those that maybe aren't aware, that everything we do 'visually' (ie. the flags, banners, organised displays etc) are all completely designed, funded and implemented by fans. We used to have a regular stream of donations (both in SIGNIFICANT time and money), but since COVID and with the current cost of living challenges everyone is contending with, things have understandably slowed down. We're obviously keen to keep things going from our perspective, both visually and vocally (we find that both tend to go hand in hand) as obviously want to give the lads on the pitch the best platform we can, from a support perspective, to get the results we all want. Unfortunately, this season in-particular, far more flags etc have either 'grown legs' and/or been damaged beyond productive use. We have (embarrassingly, for those involved) managed to recover several stolen articles through conversations/support from the Club/AG and their CCTV facilities etc. However that obviously defeats the point, that it simply shouldn't be happening. We have liaised with the club, and asked the Stewards/stadium staff to be more vigilant if/when they see flags 'leaving' the ground. As in short, that should never be the case. Whilst there is some serious 'replacing' which needs to take place, we obviously continue to have ambitions of co-ordinated visual displays for specific fixtures etc. All of which takes considerable time, effort & funding. As ever, we are extremely appreciative of those who continue to support our efforts, by giving up their time as well as by contributing financially - through sticker and merchandise sales/donations as well as various fundraisers etc. However now that the sun has (finally) decided to show itself in glimpses over the last week or so, it seemed as good a time as any to commission some merchandise more suited to warmer weather! With proceeds from which will (as always!) go - in their entirety - towards flags, banners & display materials. When designing, we were conscious that there are probably many who would happily contribute, but maybe would prefer to purchase something a little more "City" themed, rather than S82 specifically, in order to do so. Therefore we've designed a logo which hopefully will prove to be popular with that in mind. With pictures below of the (soon to be available) designs. These are currently available for Pre-order through our website (along with stickers etc.) - https://section82.bigcartel.com/ And for this period will be priced as follows: T-shirts & Bucket Hats: £15 each or £25 for 2. And/or £25 for one of each (Hat & Tee)! Also/alternatively get a Bucket Hat & Pair of Sunglasses for £20 Your support, as always, is very much appreciated . Any questions, please ask and I'll do my best to respond asap! Edited April 26, 2023 by James 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
