[cite]Posted By: Ledge Knows[/cite]lol - i was watching you frantically waving at the muppets in the East. How hard was it for them to pull the bloody thing up.
Good effort though lads.
It was fecking hard Arf, I promise you. Two of us in Block G trying to pull the flag up to the rear tiers and I promise you I can put some weight behind my pulling.
Does it smell awful under the flag? There's always a plasticky/chemical smell around the ground when it appears, so I dread to think what it's like up close!
[cite]Posted By: F-Blocker[/cite]Has the old flag hasn't been fire-proofed?
It has a safety certificate if that's what you mean. Do you think we'd take an inflammable flag up the motorway? In a car! with diesel! Are you mad! ; - )

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHush. It's a secret chemical that makes the East Stand and lower north stop moaning and get behind the team. Don't tell the Football League or they will ban it.

I know tongue was placed firmly in cheek there Henners, but don't these things have to be re-proofed every few years? Is the certificate still valid?
I think it is the material itself that is fire resistant so should be OK. Spoke to the guy who produced the new flag and the people at the Valley and this was their view.
The old flag was produced some years ago and definately had a certificate then but this was before I was involved.
With smoking no longer allowed in grounds the major risk to this sort of flag has gone in any case.

Good work though - first time i've seen it, very impressive.
No idea, they thought they miss the coin toss with it going over thier heads
How it looked from the Jimmy Seed Stand - some other nice photos via that link too.
haha, he had a moan at me about you!
About what?
Good effort though lads.
Oh I see. Just wanted to run out from the halfway line.....I'll take my shoes off next time ;-)

Not as mouldy as some would believe, it's got a water stain on it, but nothing else wrong with it
