It was about 1/3 the size of the Kop so I doubt it mate. *probably a bit bigger than that actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddy Repperton Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Why don't the club provide a "giant mask" to cover all our supporters completely during away games to prevent the spread of covid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pahowl Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Wednesdayite used to take one to many matches as well as it being surfed at home it was purchased around 2010 and used for about 5 years until it became really smelly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pahowl Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Not all grounds would give permission to use it and it was in many cases too big for the away end! It travelled on the coaches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miffed Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I remember we took one of the large flags to Doncaster one year and it was too big for the stand, some fans had to walk along the front of the gangway (near the advertisment boards at the edge of the pitch) to stretch it out a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the one That was fantastic How much would a new one cost? Is it something clubs would still allow? If so let’s get a new one sorted! We can help raise funds for it for sure 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flag in the 90s was almost double the size it used to just fit between the posts on the kop and almost rich from back to front. I remember fans surfing on it and sliding off not to mention getting punched a few times on the way down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funding a new one has never been an issue . Doubt it would be useable in most League 1 grounds. But if it is something the fans (as awhole) would like to see return we can see what we can do. Get it for the return to the championship in 22/23? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
