McCabe - Buy us a HUGE Wilder Banner for the KOP

[5tannington Blade]

This is the most proud we've all been of our team for a long long time, the way they have defied the odds and battled to get promoted and now be a real force in the Championship. What are the chances of McCabe bloody putting his hand in his pocket for a few hundred quid and paying for a huge 'One of Our Own' banner of Chrissy Wilder and the boys so we can unveil it on the Kop as the team comes out to a chorus of noise & red and white flares (granted the flares ain't gonna happen). Would love our KOP to turn into a mini Dortmund and intimidate the hell out of teams - the lads have earnt it and so have the fans. We should get a petition going. UTB

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Keep up, BLUT is where it's at.

 

[Harry's Game]

International breaks get fuckin weird at times don't they?

 

[Ricky]

I'd like to see a flag with Wilder's face on and no words, in this sort of style...

Think that would look great if done right.

You don't need a petition; you need a proper trust set up with the aim of improving matchday atmosphere with banners, flags and the like. Fans donating their hard earned, fundraising etc. then getting the goods produced and liasing with the club to make sure everything is fine by their safety standards.

It's something I've been thinking about setting up for a long, long while and I've spoken to folk who would be up for it.

Besides full time work, the main thing that has put me off is the idea of miserable sods saying 'atmosphere dunt need improving', and getting slated for even trying it. We don't need flags and the like, but I know for a fact if we did it, and if it was done proper, it would be pretty fucking good.

McCabe! Save your money and put it a good sum into improving Wilder's contract, and buying more players. Oh, keep some back for the Kop improvements.

Three things.

1 Why should McCabe pay for a tribute from the fans?

2. There’s probably better ideas for a banner.

3. That’s not to say we don’t all appreciate what he’s done for our club.

No. Spend it on flags so we can pretend we're a German club.

Happy to throw some cash behind that and any help needed.

If that bugger McCabe is not at the front of the Kop with his megaphone leading the singing, well, that's it, I'm off to the carpark.

Now here's a coincidence.

Earlier today, I decided to take a leaf out of Tyler's book and dress like a lumberjack and hang around in bars and, guess what, just like him I bumped into our Kev !

I showed him this post and his response was " Get fucked - I've already got my leg in for 50 mill so if you want a fucking flag you can fucking well buy your own "

At least, that's how I remember it although I must admit, I was terribly, terribly drunk .....

We should be so lucky.

 

[Hartley Hare]

I don't mind contributing to a flag as long as I can use it as a bed spread between matches.

[Blade for Sale]

It would be nice to see the big flags back at the Lane. Especially at a time when the pigs have got one holding their away end together like some shrink wrap owl rimming tarpaulin.

I'm against anything that puts an individual on a higher pedestal than the club. This includes Wilder or Sharp or whoever. Fantastic job though these individuals may do for the club, it's about showing support for the club as a whole - not making hero's out of individuals. If you want to create a huge flag with the club emblem on it then brilliant! I think that's great. But why should McCabe pay for that? Have a whip round if that's what you want - oh and btw - we've already got one anyway!

 

[Liaminho9]

Well, I say GLTTL

Or do you mean VGFDJ?

Viel Glück für die Jungs

 

[FTPE]

What's the flags at the back of the kop?
There's a "we believe one" and is the other the carry on regardless one?

Either way I'd love a big Wilder one! An image of him beating his chest would be class.
He's already a legend and I hope we appreciate him while he's here and just not when he's moved on

 

[elgoog44]

lets no give him ideas about banners as he might put this one up for January

I went to Hamburg SV vs. Werder Bremen last weekend and they have loads of flags behind the goal. It does look fantastic. They also sing for the full 90 minutes non-stop. Proper diehards those Germans.

I can't help but think it must be a nightmare sitting behind them though. But then, i suppose if you sit in that block, you want to sing and shout throughout.



Only club I can think of in UK that has a similar section is Crystal Palace.

Very low. He’s never bloody put his hand in his pocket before so he’s unlikely to start now. Certainly not to the extent of a few hundred quid. That’s big money and the electricity bill is due.

I would offer a few p myself but I’m not paying tribute to any fucker called Chrissy. That’s a girls name.

Additionally we shouldn’t ignore the contributions of One Knill and Matt Prestridge so I’m going to commission a flag the size of the entire Desso with this emblazoned on it:



All contributions welcome.

Bratfud had a scheme recently whereby the club helped put into production a load of flags designed by fans. Their kop was awash with them during the 3-3 there last season, although more before KO than during the game. Nice idea.

Why don't you put your hand in your pocket and buy one

 

[More Bladier than thou]

Or how about forum users come up with some designs,post on here and we vote for best. Then we could organise a crowdfunding page to get the funds together and get it made.

 

[ScottBlade]

How about organising a tifo display for the kop? I know a lot of them are crowd funded by the fans but surely they can't be that much? There are clubs all over Europe that have them like every other weekend. Even the skint ones. I don't care if it's trying to emulate or copy other fan cultures, i think they look brilliant. If anything they show a togetherness between fans and there's no better time to celebrate our club than right now as the op said. Maybe try and get something sorted for the derby. A silhouette of Wilder patting his chest with crossed scimitars behind him while everyone on the front row raises a giant Alan Knill beheading a squirrel.
