That top banner is especially important, sends a clear message to the players(if they did not know anyway) that we are not protesting against any of them.
Another upside of being a banner-holder-upper is that the banner itself helps you protect yourself from the wind/rain/snow or all three at the same time !
It was great to see the cameras focusing on the banners and the commentators talking about the protests, as if the rat really does watch all of the matches from his Belgian lair, then he can't then help but see them. Hope it causes him some discomfort! We need to keep up the pressure so that he gets the message that we won't give up until he is gone, irrespective of what is happening on the pitch.

I'm just imagining the number of "Sothern softies" uttered by the Rotherham faithful as they looked upon us using it as a blanket!

I think that it has been reported that RD gets his live stream from the home club, be it us or the opposition, so whether Rotherham's camera showed the flags are not, we do not know.
They looked brilliant. Amazingly enough, the Rotherham boars and stewards didn't seem to mind them being shown
sure that as long as they aren't blocking advertising they will be welcomed at the Valley too. Fan engagement is so important you know - )
Ironic that Rotherham had no problem with showing banners that could be considered inflammatory whilst the home-made completely inoffensive banner was removed at the Valley last week (don't believe for one moment that obstruction of advertising was the reason for removal)
When the first banner went up and we had no reaction from the stewards i went down to have a chat with them. No problem re banners as long as no bad language was written on them.Told them we had a second banner ,go ahead put it up was the remark that came back to me..Thank them for understanding the cause.
Good to met up with you guys ,very good weekend had.

Well done the persons or persons unknown who took them up there and all those who helped display them.
Edit: Board, not boars - unless they have a particular strain of wild pigs oop north
Roland and Kariens red n white army!
On a dodgy stream!"
Protest fund money well spent
"Finally that winning feeling, thanks for the great support traveling fans. You are the heart and soul of this club. Focus now on Bristol
Surprised the stewards were so accommodating!
Myself and @c.walsh'slovechild smuggled them in, thinking they would be clamped down upon pronto, but they were more than happy...
Fair play, Rotherham.
Stewards were very accomodating
