Your on the list mate, got you wrote down here, pm me a contact number for when they arrive on the 25th February and il be in touch.

I'm not sure if i put my name down,? if i did, would i be able pick one up at the WCC?

Fantastic mate, thanks a lot, i'll pm you now.

Adam, did you get anywhere with that design you PM'd me with? We could probably get that ordered if you did.

Ultras scarves £375 for 80 (80 is minimum quantity). The company have made the ones shown below. We'd have to decide on what design & whether or not we think it's worth it. We could sell em' for £5 a piece to cover costs. It's the same company who made our large flags so we know they are sound.

Any design. They ask that the artwork be sent to them in vector graphics (Corel Draw, Adobe Illustrator, etc), I'm sure Rolf could help us out there.

Maybe you could get the irregulars flag made into scarves ?

No I didn't mate, have you still got the message? Think I have anyway so I'll forward it on to Rolf.

Regarding the scarves, I think those ones look a bit busy, personally I would prefer red and white bar scarf type design with maybe thin black stripes in between with a logo in the middle of the scarf.

Yeah I've still got it. I'll send it back to you.

Fair point about the design. The picture's the only example on their site.

Can you put me down for 2 please Jukesays?

very smart indeed.

Couple of newbie designs. Loudhaler also on order

!!

Niiice! Like them both.

Hahaha, who's gunna be the designated loudhaler mon?

Love the loudhaler on Chris.

Like i said, go for it but with the simpler idea I text you....

Are those designs for the badges or flags? Either way I think the one with the guy wearing the scarf is best!

I think those scarfs look quality! The club already make loads of boring scarfs.... 85 of those would add loads of colour and would stand out a mile!

Remember I got a few requests for the Irregulars skull as a badge.

Would definitely be up for a decent scarf. The ones the club have put out aren't to my liking at all.

Best of luck to you in what you wish to achieve, however, why not buy the material and then get a projector to project an image onto a wall and then paint all your own banners? That way, the money everyone is putting in is going to better use because you can get loads more flags and banners. I am assuming that is how your two stick flag was made as all you need to do is trace the image off the wall.

Barmy Flags are an absolute rip off and you could make your own flags and banners for a fraction of the price.

I'm glad to see a tifo/ultras style group in rugby league as I've been interested in the ultras scene for a good few years, especially due to the influence of the group I've witnessed at Celtic. I've always wanted to get something similar on the go when following Keighley, but with such a small support, I don't think I could gather a group with the right mentality.

I do think you should have much more originality in your approach as opposed to directly copying chants and banners/logos off The Green Brigade at Celtic though.

Anyway, best of luck again.

That what we are moving onto into terms of making our own, we have ordered a few from Romania for a fraction of the price of barmy flags.

Cheers Connor. Good post. The homemade style of banner is what we are moving onto now (Was in the Range just this afternoon getting materials

). It's difficult to be 100% original when trying to get something like an Ultras/Tifo group off the ground and inspiration is naturally sought from other places. Ideas are taken from football clubs which several of our group support i.e. Celtic, Liverpool, United. The longer we keep at it the more original we should become.

Green Brigade themselves take ideas & designs from the continent and copy them.

Our scene is still in its infancy but we starting to make decent progress now and should improve as the season goes on.

Good Luck with getting something going at Keighley

How would this image go down over here in the UK?


Edit - Of course changed to be the Saints badge.

Thats class



Personally I think flags and banners should stick to being Wigan related but it would be pretty funny.

Haha yeah I love original stuff, but like others I'm influenced by other teams, especially Schalke 04.

Don't mean to offend you but I do prefer the Borussia Dortmund fans appart from the fact they sing that horrible song.

Haha if I couldn't have already hated D**tmund more than I already do their links with Celtic would make me.

Best/worst day of my life, watching the derby in the D**tmund end and having to hide my joy when Schalke scored and won 1-0.

Remember we're looking to inspire other Wigan fans to create their own banners and flags alongside our efforts.
