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).

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.
It's good to have an end to journey towards, but it's the journey that matters in the end.

Bloody gutted now! was looking forward to it but thought you could pay on the door :(
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

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
