Tilley Posted 26 July 2010 Posted 26 July 2010 Surely anyone with an ounce of grey matter would have gone about the process the other way round. Get permission first then make 60ft flags - at quite a cost I'd imagine.. Don't talk sense in here, not sure it is allowed. Massive waste of cash when the club say no.
Alexikokopops Posted 26 July 2010 Posted 26 July 2010 Haha What will happen to all the money been spent on this if it get's turned down? Surely anyone with an ounce of grey matter would have gone about the process the other way round. Get permission first then make 60ft flags - at quite a cost I'd imagine.. Which Sugar daddy is funding all this? if people have bought flags then will they get their money back if the club don't allow it? I'd be lying if I said I hadn't though a similar thing. I'd imagine though that people will use them to put around the ground/away grounds on empty seats rather than waving them about. Maybe. I'm not sure.

I take it Fosse Boys will not be present at Away games? Surely they would have to apply at every single away ground to see if they could take poles with flags on inside the ground? I'm no flask brigade, I like a sing song etc but I wouldn't be bowled over if I was watching a game and got a 3m x 3m flag in front of me the whole game so I couldn't actually watch the game! On a serious note - if this gets approved then you should try and sell some of the merchandise in the club shop, may stir some more interest instead of just 50 people. Maybe Arab could stencil out some Fosse Boys hot pants to get the opposite sex involved? Just an idea.
Dan Posted 26 July 2010 Posted 26 July 2010 Say, when is the whole idea going to be granted/rejected?

I think the plan is to be at the back of the stadium in an emptier part of the ground so as to avoid blocking people's views with the flags. Then hopefully, with the club on side, they can work out the best place so the flags don't ruin other people's enjoyment of the game.
1964FOX Posted 26 July 2010 Posted 26 July 2010 The organisers of this group must be be applauded for what they have done especially as they have had some flack off there fellow fans on this forum. I for one will be proudly holding my fosse boys flag high at the Sunderland match

1964FOX Posted 26 July 2010 Posted 26 July 2010 No but I have a good knowledge of club and football league regulations and will be prepared to say I will have my flag and be confident I will
Fosse Boy Posted 26 July 2010 Author Posted 26 July 2010 Not really sure it's for the cynics to judge whether people are "wasting their money" or not is it? Regardless of the outcome of today's meeting (I'm at work so haven't had the full details yet) there will be a way round. This group is worth fighting for, it's giving up at the first hurdle that would be the biggest waste of time of all. On use of the Ultras name, there's no point in disguising what we are. We've laid it on the line, we are not a happy clappy, lovey dovey singing section there for the entertainment of everyone who doesn't want to get involved. We are Ultras. We know what we have in mind for the group, we won't compromise on this, and if being so brash so early means we make it a bit harder for ourselves to succeed in our aims, then that's a price worth paying to maintain the integrity of the group in my eyes.

Massive waste of cash when the club say no. i'm guessing they don't care about the money. as the saying goes: 'speculate to accumulate' - i'm sure the passion they have for this means that a few quid on a pole and some fabric is nothing compared to the enhanced enjoyment they will get if this gets the go ahead. it's called putting your money where your mouth is, it will be seen to their credit that they are prepared to put in this kind of financial and monetary investment with no guarantee of return. maybe they won't get approval but at least they are doing everything than can to prove how much they want it, if they turn up at the club with just a big idea and nothing else the club will laugh them out of the door. obviously, this kind of commitment to the team they support is a mystery to you two

Tommeh Posted 26 July 2010 Posted 26 July 2010 Massive credit to the lads involved with this hope they get a decent result with the club and really get it going at the Sunderland game.
Floating Fox Posted 26 July 2010 Posted 26 July 2010 Any news on how the meeting went ?. We will be releasing a statement, if you'd like to put it that way, in a couple of days. We are still on to meet at the counting house on saturday though.
Bert Posted 26 July 2010 Posted 26 July 2010 Not as well as you'd all have hoped, going from that post then? I can only think if it was good news you'd have told us all now.
Jodranadinho Posted 26 July 2010 Posted 26 July 2010 sounds like bad news I hope that the club has taken into consideration the amount of effort been put in by the other lads with all the flags and banners before they made their decision. I look forward to reading this statement.
AndyBrew Posted 26 July 2010 Posted 26 July 2010 Why two days, you're not all selling your flags on eBay are you !
purpleronnie Posted 26 July 2010 Posted 26 July 2010 Even if the flags and banners aren't allowed surely just group together anyway?
Floating Fox Posted 26 July 2010 Posted 26 July 2010 We are going to have a get together and see what we think is best to do from here. Club weren't great, but fair play to them for listening to us and things could have gone alot worse than they have. So we will still see you on saturday !
KFS Posted 26 July 2010 Posted 26 July 2010 Can I take a guess? They didn't like the standing idea and flags? Please tell us some info!
Fosse Boy Posted 26 July 2010 Author Posted 26 July 2010 Have patience guys! Everything will be revealed in good time. Looking forward to seeing you all on Saturday!
