Mello Yello 2,289 Posted February 24, 2019 Good show and impressive display of the flags an' stuff before kick off......It's a bit sad that some flag waving participants feel the need to retain the temporarily issued and 'loaned' flags.....Have a word with yourselves.....  1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would be a massive shame if they were to gradually disappear after such an effort. Great display again yesterday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

splendidrush 700 Posted February 24, 2019 I don't get to games very often, when I go I expect some atmosphere, if you want to watch in silence, stay home and watch it on tv, give your Ticket to someone else. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TIL 1010 4,737 Posted February 24, 2019 Maybe someone took that Pride of Anglia banner home that i was talking about ? If it was exclusively for the Scum game it will be years before we see it again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It has not been used since the derby. It would be nice if it made an appearance perhaps each time there is a game on the tele. It looks that impressive! I wouldn't be surprised that IF we went up it featured on MOTD. Now that would be annoying for the shower below us Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
splendidrush 700 Posted February 25, 2019 We are fortunate that we are the only Club in this part of the Country, forget 1p5wich, they're not famous anymore. If we go up, we have a unique identity that we should be proud of and with the worldwide audience that the Premier League offers, we should make the most of the opportunity to promote ourselves as,not just another big City Club. Get that flag out, tell the World who we are!

SwindonCanary 455 Posted February 25, 2019 Due to taking a couple of friends, I had to buy tickets when they went on general sale, It meant I was too close to the Bristol City fans, but on the good side, i did get a good view on the flags !

Woodman 92 Posted February 25, 2019 I guess they didn't use the Pride of Anglia flag on Saturday as they used the One City Strong letters (personally, I'm not a fan of that slogan). Those letters are on long sticks so I assume they couldn't be seen if the big flag was used as well. There's a big Fashanu flag as well - is that only used on Rainbow laces week? I'm sure it takes lots of organising and is looking really impressive - and shame on those who are trying to take the flags home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Puntino 75 Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) FYI, the Pride of Anglia surfer isn't planned to be used imminently, although might make another appearance at some point. But we might have plans for another big flag (we do) so just watch this space. The Pride of Anglia one was pretty derby centric, with iconic goal celebrations from against Ipswich, ideally we'd have something a bit more generic if we were going to wheel it out regularly. Bottom line is though we doubt we'd do the same surfer every game, regardless of what's on it. That would just get too samey. Edited February 25, 2019 by Puntino 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vazzza 62 Posted February 25, 2019 It really does look awesome and think its a great intialtive. Thumbs up to all involved (and to me for waving one 🤪) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yellowandgreen 34 Posted February 25, 2019 I'm not a fan of manufacturing an atmosphere and would usually moan and criticise. But from the riverend the flags look great, the atmosphere is awesome. When we sang on the ball city on Saturday I looked around me and you could just feel the magic. What a season. So well done those involved with getting the flags  OTBC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted February 25, 2019 Surely no-one really wants to criticise the use of flags etc. Take a look round other grounds who are quite happy to display the joy of supporting their own club and also happy to crow on about it whether it is posts on forums, wearing colours on holiday or any other way of saying look at me I'm a Norwich supporter.

Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,023 Posted February 25, 2019 My bad Tilly, I never look at the date of posts, not having a go at you, in fact IÂ agree that the banner should be unfurled at every home game, I am guessing the stringent rules at grounds in the UK have something to do with it which is a shame as our fellow fans in continental Europe seem to be allowed some magnificent banners, displays etc (My favourite is the CSKA Sofia Star Wars effort)........

Graham Paddons Beard 2,428 Posted February 25, 2019 The whole thing looked fantastic on Saturday - and the march to the Ground against the binners got brilliant coverage. Anyone caught nicking the flags should be named and shamed. Take their season ticket away - can't be too hard to find them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobLoz3 492 Posted February 25, 2019 ACN broke down how much they spent and how much each display for the games cost. It's actually a shed load more than I thought it'd be! I think they've done really well with the money and it is great to see the Barclay looking so alive with colour. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
