Destroys any semblance of pre-match atmosphere building. Was infuriating today how loud it was today, like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
christ Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 (edited) Got to my spot in the back row of the Gallowgate to find one of the largest fucking flag poles I’ve ever seen on my seat. I’d have torn the netting down across the entire stand - dead pigeon and all - had I tried to wave it. Nearly put the eyes out of about half a dozen people around me trying to store it under the seats. I was not a popular man It was wrapped alongside a much more reasonably sized flag, so I assume it was left there in error.

As I said, think it was left in error or potentially moved from elsewhere. There isn’t really room to wave anything back there, even the smaller flag.

I thought it might've been a bad omen, but needn't have worried! Appreciated the simplicity of last night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to help when I saw the struggle. Don’t think I was much use as it was too late by then. Just had to laugh, thank the crowd for their encouragement and take a bow @Heron Get those poles labelled more clearly! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Pretty sure it's the big EDDIE HOWES BLACK AND WHITE ARMY banner than hung in the leazes corner of the east stand. At least it looked that way as they tried to unfurl it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
