Story
Ladies and gents. To add a bit of atmosphere to games down at Lincoln Road (The Bee Arena) this season, let's get some flags on display. We did have one early last season, but some idiot lost it! I have put a target of £300 which would probably get 4 or 5 decent size flags. The first will be to replace the once we had.

After that I'm going to suggest a standard St George design as some people go to England games so an opportunity to get on TV! And after that I'm open to suggestions or put to the vote. Just a few pounds each and we can get these flags done. As an indication, the above was about £50. A larger one would be about £75. You can get a better idea at www.footballflags.co.uk.
A couple of rules to make sure they don't get lost again! They stay in the burger van or tea hut between games, unless somebody wants to take them to an away game. If you do, then they must be returned at the next home game and if they are lost then you are responsible for replacing them.
I hope you'll all join in. Up The Turbines.

7 years agoI thought I should update you.The last flag we had, the one in the picture that was lost, was £55 for 5 x 3. The ones I've gone for are £75 each for twice the size. As with any 'bargain' there is a catch, and I have now discovered that these prices are achieved by the company bulk buying from Asia and the shipment was held up further by storms in China. Sounds like a tall tail but it is genuine. I've pointed out that we are on TV on Saturday and he has assured me they will be here in time. Fingers crossed, and I am pushing them!

7 years agoJust wanted to give an update to everyone. We are stuck at £175.00. I've taken that out of JustGiving and after fees it is £163.00! Anyway, £150 has been paid for two flags. There is a collection tin on the burger van at forthcoming games, so if you have any spare change, please donate. After the next three games (Kidlington, Stamford and Didcot) I will see where we are and take a view as to whether we quit at two or maybe three flags. Hopefully we can still get the £300. Thanks again for your help.

7 years agoJust to let you know, we remain stuck on £175. I am going to have another push on social media and, if necessary, print off some leaflets for the home game v WGC. Whatever the total is by August bank holiday, I will order as many as we can afford, accepting we won't get the free fifth one if we don't order four. Thanks again for your support.
