Alec1954 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I recently contributed towards the creation of a flag. Did I recently read that a local company had donated the full cost? If so, can anyone involved advise what is going to be done with that money already donated? Ta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Wight Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 They donated a fair chunk but not the full cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Alec 1954 We had a certain target to aim for to make sure it wouldnt look to small however we did decide since we went over our original target in less than 24 hours, that the flag size would now depend on the donations amount. So everyone who donated their money would be used for the flag and nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdog Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Can a donation still be made for the flag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underdog Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 It was a tremendous sight today to see it well done all who contributed but.... I don't envy the person who has to fold it back up in its kitbag or the ones who have to hold it down on a windy night as it pass over our heads either. It was a little gusty today and it nearly went arse over tit holding it for the photo..heheh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsPete Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Very impressive When you see the size of the people in the picture you can see the flag is so big un Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underdog Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Right over my seat, there. Keep it away from the centre of the 'A' thankyouverymuch /grump Well it took me a while to work to out, but it's not going to be fixed anywhere....it's going to be held aloft over your head by you as it is passed along from one side of the RRE to the other. Sort of similar to one they roll along at Anfield pre kick off.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only presume, but then again I could be wrong it could be fixed I'm sure. Either way it's impressive isn't it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTM Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Oh, it's a great thing and I love the Athleticos.. I'd just rather watch the game in peace. Or is this a pre-kick off and half-time thing? Not actually during the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewBlue Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) Oh, it's a great thing and I love the Athleticos.. I'd just rather watch the game in peace. Or is this a pre-kick off and half-time thing? Not actually during the game? It'll be when the players come out you'd have thought. Won't be half time or during the match. Looks good when fixed down but it's miles too big to hold aloft. Must cover about 400 seats and I can't see there being that many in the RRE next season. Come in handy for Dale and Bury away though... Edited July 18, 2015 by NewBlue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdog Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Like I say I could be wrong and hold my hands up now if it is going to be fixed and not literally rolled over us. Soon know at our first home friendly next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) OA 95 Athletico Ultras 6 hrs · Edited · The new flag in the RRE! Such a great sight to see! We'd like to thank everyone who was involved in getting it made. Pete Mason I think you've all come a long way since you first mentioned the idea of the Athletico Ultras. Well done to all of you, the club will always have a future as long as there are young people willing to get behind the team. Good point, well made.

Aarondo Westy Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 It looks wider than a whole block of seats, i would suggest that due to it overlapping and therefore blocking off a stairwell exit that it wouldnt be allowed to be fixed down, there be some bull:censored: health and safty rule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavageTheBeast Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 What's the point in passing it along the RRE when there is only 400 season ticket holders in a 3000 capacity stand. It will just fail, it would be better being passed along in the new one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
