Great work - the more colour on that wall the better.

Surely that’s far better than looking at a wall of grey tin sheeting.
Totally agree, would be nice to see a few more 'legacy flags' up if they are still serviceable.

Just out of curiosity how much does a flag that size cost? I’d be happy help do my bit in getting the whole HSE covered

Not sure mate, Jonty will have that information. It’s also something several people have asked about, and it’s a great idea. We’ve even had suggestions of what could be put on them, FAT wins, promotions, players etc. So without stepping on anyone’s toes it might be something the Trust would want to look at - if not we’d be more than happy to look into it & how we could try and raise the cash.
We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

Ian, I see you made sure you left a flag-sized gap between the two flags. Is this so we can fit the "Wild's Winners" flag in between them when we are crowned Champions of EFL 2 next May???

Absolutely (though I would suggests 'Wild' s Things')

Kelly’s Heroes flag (10’ x 6’) was £145 (March 2021) from this place -

Most people said yes and put it in the fanzone or no. That doesn’t look like the fanzone to me.

It’ll probably get ruined on the HSE ah well

If you actually thought about it (like we did) rather than just trying to find faults you’d have realised there are virtually no places for it to go in the fanzone - if any. I suppose we could’ve draped it over the toilet block though, would that’ve done? And do you honestly think that it going in the fanzone would make it last longer than under the HSE roof? Unless of course you wanted it in the fanzone bar…which would probably not happen anyway.

I think about five said no, many more than that wanted it on display.
It’s up, and if the texts and comments are anything to go by most people are happy. Let’s just leave it at that eh?

Glad we have come to a solution and are moving it to the toilet block. Happy days

Can it go over the "mural" in the tunnel?
