New flags for next season!

[GeoffN]

Have runners. When Wigan score 2 people run in front of boston stand from each end holding giant flags and overlap in middle. Bolton wanderers used do it (but i think they were ill people)

That's sort of the plan, but not sure if we'll be allowed during the game itself. They will be at the front, though, not amongst the seated areas (due to yet more silly Health & safety restrictions).

[Jukey]

As some of you already know, I'm involved (in a very minor way!) with the Unofficial Flag Team that have been happily decorating the South Stand this year. The flag team is moving along to bigger and better things for next season, and to help that we're holding a fund-raising "do".

At Rangers, when they score a huge flag gets waved from behind the goal showing the colours red, white and blue. We could do that if they score in front of the south stand and have a big cherry and white one.

Just a quick update folks. We've already taken delivery of 4 big flags for waving in front of the South Stand on matchdays and have ordered a massive Billy Boston flag, also for waving. These flags should look spectacular. Very Anfield Kop-esque. We are certainly putting something together here that'll be unique in RL circles

[cpwigan]

Doing a fantastic job. The work of the Ralf guy is superb.

[Wigan through and through]

Sounds great can't wait see them

[Susi]
