Right. Just off the phone with the company who will be making it. Scanachrome will be making the banner. They specialise in making crowd surfing banners (Tifos). Understanding that it can often take a while to get funds for such a project, they take 30% off their prices for fans projects, a superb gesture. This goes to explain why we were getting quotes of upwards of £5 and £6k. We are still working on the best way to organise the funding, and details will be posted on here next week.

The club are donating to it, which should dramatically decrese the fans payment.

Well we need something to keep us entertained considering what is happening on the pitch and now smoke bombs are off the agenda flags are all we have got left!

Don't think the rest of the banner family will be coming, just have to piss about with the big 'un.
