TIL 1010 4,722 Posted March 29, 2019 The club are looking for a wall of yellow at the game i read somewhere so any plans for scarves and flags ? I know this would have to be done with the blessing of Wigan to comply with their safety and ground regulations but what better game than to display the big Pride of Anglia banner rather than have it locked in a cupboard somewhere at Carrow Road. I am of course assuming that many of your volunteers will be at the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Puntino 75 Posted March 29, 2019 Hi TIL, I'll be at the game, although logistically I'm not sure we could do the surfer and would require a fair amount of goodwill from Wigan's end. Add to that it weighs nearly 10 stone so actually transporting it is a bit of a nightmare too. A wall of scarves and shirts is probably much more achieveable and easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,722 Posted March 29, 2019 Maybe NCFC can do a deal on scarves for people going to the game. Produce a match ticket to get a sizeable discount maybe ? Two home games coming up before then to shift a load. Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Puntino 75 Posted March 29, 2019 In fairness there's still plenty of those £5 scarves I think. Plus most people have a scarf. Reckon that's the way forward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rivvo 257 Posted March 29, 2019 Til I defended you from what I felt was unfair criticism on the flag thread(I know you don't need me to) but what on earth is this all about? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rivvo 257 Posted March 29, 2019 Perhaps it's phrased badly and I've misconstrued it but it seems like an unnecessary and unjustified pop at people who have massively improved the spectacle and atmosphere at home games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TIL 1010 4,722 Posted March 29, 2019 (edited) Look guys i was asking Puntino if there was a possibility of creating that same atmosphere in a couple weeks at Wigan by using that banner and flags but the response i got was rather negative in my view. if Wigan say yes as long as they comply with safety and security issues why on earth not ? How on earth can it be construed as having a pop ? Edited March 29, 2019 by TIL 1010 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonyc 5,493 Posted March 29, 2019 I will wade in here. I interpreted the OP asking in a generally positive way and supportive spirit. Â Let's just look forward to a fantastic spectacle of 5000 fans. It could be an historic day. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darth Canary1 91 Posted March 29, 2019 I read it as a logistical nightmare, but getting the scarf waving was an easier thing. Fantastic job being done at home, way harder when its away. If I was Wigan I wouldn't allow it, they ain't safe yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He’s used to carrying around ten stone more than is healthy.😆  *(waits for pot/kettle retort)* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Puntino 75 Posted March 29, 2019 Great idea Dunc. It also comes in a massive pallet, so probably more like 30 stone all told. In all seriousness though, if the hurdles we have to jump with NCFC (often for very good reason) are in place at Wigan, then the effort isn't worth it for one individual game. Couple that with the fact we don't know where various members of the group will be situated, whether a surfer would actually fit the stand properly and it becomes even more of a headache. Not sure I know a Norwich fan who doesn't own a scarf. Hopefully they can all bring one. Or wear something yellow and green. Job done. Oh and TIL - you seem to have loads of ideas. Maybe contact the club with them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,722 Posted March 29, 2019 I had one idea Puntino and you dismissed it out of hand so no worries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Puntino 75 Posted March 29, 2019 'Dismissed out of hand'. Either that or explained why it's probably not possible and even if it was would be extremely difficult to pull off. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
