it certainly isnt a clique, however if you do come down dont even try and sit with me, jukesay's jimmy b, rogues gallery and mattyb.... we like to try and keep the chat between ourselfs!!

| If someone asks the club nicely, I think it would look brilliant if they let a few of those army lads wave a couple of the big flags on the poles and hold a couple of flares as the teams come out, but with flares being a no go for supporters i doubt the club would let it happen.

Salford did it with their mascot. I dont know if they still do. So you would think it would be ok for someone from the army to do it.

Theres no real reason to take them down really,after all the poorer team in the town that rocks up there need all the help they can get to draw attention away from the drivle they serve up on a sat afternoon.

| HELP WITH ARTWORK NEEDED - DOES ANYONE HAVE AN IMAGE OF A SILHOUETTE OF THE WIGAN SKYLINE or know how to knock one up? Rolf - can you do this?
Taking this flag as an idea for one of our own. I want a black outline of the Wigan skyline, to include recognisable landmarks such as the Parish Church, the wheel at the college, Trencherfield Mill, Scholes highrise, the steel support above the stand at the DW etc
You get the idea for the flag, Wigan is a rugby town.
Cheers

| Think you would struggle these days to get a Wigan Skyline as you would need to look at the town from a flat area looking towards the town. I was thinking maybe the end of the platform at North Western station but they have built a multistory car park in the way. Maybe from the top of the Gallery's car park with a panoramic camera. Once you have the photo its quite easy to black out the buildings and make the sky red or white.

Cheers, rather than taking an actual shot of the skyline I was thing more of 'making up' a montage of the key landmarks. You can obviously knock one up with pen & paper but I wondered if there was a more professional way of doing it. Maybe I sketch it then scan it to a PC?

| Quote ="Jukesays"Already discussed at previous Meeting
We were going to have a "Voluntary" £5 Entrance Fee
The Scarf idea is Great but will cost a bit more than the £2 your Quoting (Approx a Fiver).
It will definately be the "Unofficial Supporters Club".
And
Now that were out of the Summer Months We Can do Wednesdays!
PS
Just out of interest, 1 of the other ideas was to hold a End of Season Get together at a Local Club with Tickets sold at say £3 Adults - £2 Kids. Venue & Date TBA but around Mid November to coincide with the Anniversary of the 1st Meeting of "The Unofficial Supporters club" AKA "The Regiment".
The evening would be Held to raise Cash towards Phase 2 i.e Flags in Stand on Poles, More Flags for the West Stand etc
We would put Food on (Curry etc)
There would be RL DVD's being played on the TV
Music/Karaoke (For those that are interested)
Raffles (RL Related Prizes)
Guest Appearance (Try and get a current/Ex player there to say a few words)
Auction (We will try & Get some Signed Wigan Memorabilia etc)
The idea was that we would distribute say 5/10 tickets to the regular 15/20 attendees each for them to "Sell".
If we can get 100+ attendees and raise say £200 through the door and Maybe a couple of hundred from say Raffle/Auction we should be able to get close to the £500 mark for the evening to get us rolling for the Following season.
Thoughts/Volunteers to Sell tickets/Anyone think it's a good idea?'"
Whatever. You're stealing my idea.
In fact, you're banned too.

| Key landmarks in Wigan?
erm whats the shiny shoes guys name in the Park? Sir Francis Powell??? Imagine a big pic of him and a bright shiny shoe! Now everyone in Wigan knows who that is!
In fact you could have a rugby ball being 'kicked' off the shoe!
Also Wigan Pier??
Watching Weakest Link yesterday and the question was 'whats the biggest pier in England?' Some southerner replied 'Wigan Pier'
I think the naswer was Brighton.

I think you'll actually find the idea was minuted at the last meeting so officially it was Ours!
PS
I do the minutes so I've just amended them to show it was My idea!
PPS
If you actually attended a meeting instead of coming on here Spouting your Big ideas all the time & trying to claim the Glory then I may start to listen to you.
And don't keep making the excuse that your Babysitting! Surely Fordy can look after himself by now!
ABP - Officially out of the loop!

Lee, any chance you could update the image on www.wiganflag.co.uk to show this image rather than the old ones? The narrative will need updating too but I can PM you with that.
Cheers
