Duncan Edwards 2,237 Posted September 16, 2023 There were definitely SOME flags. Both pre-match and as the players ran out after half time. There was also a DJ and of course the drum and its entourage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TIL 1010 4,748 Posted September 17, 2023 The last excuse offered was that it was raining and when put away damp they would get damaged and previous excuses used numerous times has been surrounding lack of volunteers to put them out. Glorious day yesterday and a packed Lower Barclay so what was it @Puntino ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Puntino 75 Posted September 18, 2023 Good to see you're keeping an eye on when I log in @TIL 1010. To answer your question, I'm sure they'll be out again at some point, not sure when but we'd been chatting to the club about a bit of a refresh and potential change of approach which might mean we're less reliant on the small waving flags. Weather is a factor as the place the flags are stored doesn't air well at all and some are damaged beyond repair because of this. Yes, volunteer capacity is an issue, many of us have had circumstances change which has meant not being able to assist as much. There's not really an easy answer to that, we've gone out for volunteers in the past and had pretty low take up, as it's a fair commitment on a match day, and can mean getting at the ground 3 hours prior to kick off. Appreciate you have put yourself forward before, but it does require a good few people to get a decent coverage of the Barclay. I don't log in here regularly and only usually do so when people alert me to a post about flags, so probably best to communicate with ACN about any flag related stuff via our email address, alongcomenorwich@gmail.com 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

( winks ) I find it disappointing that the best response at this moment in time is that you are sure they will be out again at some point especially as David Wagner has gone out of his way to embrace the fans as a whole with the team. The feel good factor has thankfully returned especially at the end of a game at the Barclay end following a victory. Would not the crowd surfers be a better option if lack of volunteers which i could fully understand during the Dean Smith era but surely not now have been the major stumbling block ?

TIL 1010 4,748 Posted December 12, 2023 It will be three months to the day since i started this thread when we play the Scum on Saturday and i am not really interested in lame excuses and buck passing to ACN whoever they may in fact be. To be honest it is never going to happen again that they will come out of the cupboard under the Barclay. However as the atmosphere is going to be pumped before kick off with renditions of Hey Jude and blue and white feckin flags waved everywhere under our noses so how about the crowd surfers that we have being taken to Block V1 and V2 on Saturday @Puntino. That is of course if any of Barclay Project or ACN actually will be going. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Puntino 75 Posted February 9 Hiya @TIL 1010, flags will be back in the Barclay on Tuesday night for the Watford game. I know you've said about helping put them out before, so if that's of interest, just drop us an email alongcomenorwich @ gmail.com (as I really don't check here often) with your full name and we'll add you to the list. People are meeting at 5.30 at the Carrow Road security office. 8 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This will be the one and only home game i am missing this season as i am currently in Lanzarote but will be watching your efforts in a bar in Puerto Calero. Good luck and i will certainly be up for helping at the Scum game when i hope all stops will be pulled out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,536 Posted February 9 20% of the flags are probably in the back of the cupboard all rotten and mouldy stinking the place out... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duncan Edwards 2,237 Posted February 9 Some of the flags walked out of the Lion and Castle a couple of games ago. They are stored in the cupboard in the gents and some bright spark left the door wide open. Saw at least 2 of the huge ones depart with the security even holding the door open for one of the thieving scamps! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The flags look fantastic and some of the displays in 18/19 were incredible and made for some iconic images that season. Never really appreciated the effort required. So kudos for that!

It's only the rattle (gearwheel?) bit that makes the noise, not the construct? At least I think so. Not really sufficiently acoustic technical in that respect, and besides the noise they are capable of making probably wouldn't be tolerated nowadays. Perhaps these then: We can be blown into the play-offs? Edited February 10 by BroadstairsR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
