Surely at this rate, by the end of the season we will have enough to be put along the South & West Stand...?? Remember the 'This is Wigan' will take up the room of 3/4 flags along the middle of the South and we had already filled up that stand without it last season. That moves 3-4 across to the West, then add the few that have been made since, then add the few that are in progress...can't be that far away!!!

Entirely upto you mate. I reckon that one shown is 12 x 6 but the lad said it's upto you whatever size you want.

Well we dont know the price for definate what this new maker will be offering. It all depends on the detail and amount of lettering on the flag I suppose. Go on Barmy flags and design one, it doesnt take long and it will tell you the price at the end.

It will have to be discussed, personally id like to keep the flags I have paid for in the South, and im sure JimmyBirts will aswell. At this rate the stadium is going to be completely full. Although im not a fan of flags going above the away fans in the north, I think it defeats the object of what we was hoping to turn the South stand into, the original idea was the turn the South into a "kop style" stand. But saying that if we have 40 flags some will obviously have to be dotted about the stadium.

I have a quote of £90 from Barmys after a few emails so I was hoping I could get it cheaper at some point with this fella maybe.

Is there anywhere else flags can go other than on the south and west stand? Clearly there will be many more flags and I know some of you are not a fan of flags going in the North.

If the club allowed us to put the remaining flags (which can't fit along the gantry in the south) on poles then that would be awesome. It would be good to see what rules/regulations LFC management allow for their fans for us to take to a copy to Wigan RLFC-Stadium Management.

Well that has already been discussed with the club and we are on a trial run IF the WCC is at Wigan we will have the large flags on poles (i.e the boston one) and "the wigan way" and a couple of other new designs on 2 sticks, to be held up 10 minutes before kick off (both halves)

Then we will need to place the other 20+ flags somewhere within the stadium somewhere.

Well to be honest I dont think the "WE ARE WIGAN" flag will take up as much as you think, its 40ft i believe which is the same as 4 of our 10ft flags. The HIGGY flag is nakered and can go so thats 10ft free already.

Yeah I suppose.
Cheaper priced flags should see a bit of a boom in purchases before the season starts though.

I've been onto the club about this Matty. They are happy for us to fly the big wavers from the bottom of the South Stand on telescopic poles. We mentioned Anfield style displays right at the start and the club contacted the safety officer at Liverpool back then. We already have 5 big wavers and the idea is to use flags like 'The Wigan Way' on 2 sticks behind these flags because they are made of lighter material. The plan is to hammer the bottom of the South (East side corner) with a display because that is the least populated part of the stand. Hopefully the concept of this being an area where fans can go with this style of flag and banners will catch on pretty quickly. What we've got to be careful about is not p!$$in folk off who are sat behind them. With a bit of tactful diplomacy and explanation that we'll put them down before kick off, they should be OK about it. We'll definately step things up one or two levels next season

Sounds awesome!

Il ring you in the week Chris, we need to meet up soon as per phone call...

Got a quote back from our Kopite friend.

£68 for a 12 x 6ft red flag & white letters

WIGAN RLFC

(Soul fist with stars above it)

JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH

See, us Scousers aren't that bad after all

The Evertonians are ok I suppose.

Too far Rogues, too far!!!

When it comes to flags they wrote the book.
I heard that someone (another Wigan RL/Liverpool fan) was after a flag with UNRIVALLED PAST, GLORIOUS FUTURE on it although I can't recall who. If you see this let me know.

Roy - put your quotes/ideas up fella!

Mr Side - where are you and your mates from? Have you thought of having one done with the name of the area you are from rather than your names? E.G. ASHTON BRANCH. Just a thought.

Chris, an all black flag with the image from yours and Pauls avatar in the middle would look good I think...

Totally agree mate

Im a fan of flags with were people are from on them, as you say "Ashton Branch" or along them lines. Looking forward to our new "ARROGANCE IS INHERITED THROUGH SUCCESS" flag arriving, personally I think thats going to be our number 1 flag.

Nogga, the all black flag you said is a good idea, but myself and Chris have discussed having it done on a white background to be put on 2 sticks to hold up.

The Boston flag is also ordered and it looks as though next season is going to be a fascinating sight in the South stand, especially pre kick off when the big wavers will be out at the front of the stand. I hear other clubs are looking to immitate what we have done, but it will take some doing to get anywhere near what we have achieved now. As my flag says "WE HAVE ACHIEVED WHAT YOU CAN ONLY DREAM OF"

Fantastic Chris.

I still want.........

"CONQUERED THE 80S, DOMINATED THE 90S, HAD A BREAK, AND NOW WERE BACK"

White lettering, Red backround, plain and simple, when we priced it though it was a bl00dy fortune for all the lettering! But we'll see what happens, its still in the pipeline

Are the new flags coming to the "do" on the 20th November.

The "ARROGANCE IS INHERITED BY SUCCESS" will be doing if its arrived, as for the big wavers, I very much doubt it, they are HUGE.

We need to take some of the flags there, just to show what has been achieved in such a relatively short time.
