The Big Flag


Ulysses

Recommended Posts

After some communications confusion, the Big Flag has finally been secured following its appearance at the Cup Final. I've been asked to post a word of thanks to everyone who helped make the flag and streamer display happen, so here goes (with sincere apologies in advance for any omissions, typos, duplications or just plain getting names wrong).

 

So, in no particular order, thanks to:

 

Morph

 

Chapstick

 

Dean Winchester

 

Gibby-HMFC

 

Southampton Jambo

 

graygo (+1)

 

Martin

Jambomuzz

 

Caitlin

 

marsha_takis (vroom vroom)

 

Floyd

Sydney Devine

 

Shake Twist Stomp!

 

bighusref

 

Stuart McNeill

 

Sean

 

TinheadGK

Tony Clark and Brian Muir at Hampden (for their help, support and patience)

The Hampden stewards in sections A7 & B1

 

The stewards on duty at Tynecastle on the Sunday.

 

Keith Hogg and his colleagues at Hearts(for their help, support and patience)

 

The Brauhaus Hearts/Fridgeybus mob for carrying the flag miles back to the bus and transporting it home safely

Muzz for hosting the flag overnight and resisting the temptation to hang it from his window (if a thank you doesn't make him sign up here, nothing will!)

Steven S for assisting on Parade Day (might make up for the Legionnaires... )

 

Officer Dibble for assisting on Parade Day and for hopping all about Sections L and M of the Roseburn fixing bits and pieces

The people of sections A7 & B1 (especially in the back rows) for doing the job on the day

joe.gausden (not least for providing a new giant flag bag)

 

The taxi driver on Sunday who didn't even flinch when 5 people and a giant bag squished themselves into his wee cab!

The company who made the flag (AA Flags, by the way)

The designers

The dozens who researched options

 

The hundreds who donated

The thousands who chucked their streamers at the right time

 

 

 

And last, but by no means least, for being the flag "project manager" on the ground - a job which called for a huge amount of hard work, commitment and patience.......

 

 

 

....redm

 

 

 

Thanks all, much appreciated (and sorry again if I left you out or got your name wrong).

I know how much work redm has put into this, especially given it wasn't her idea and she kinda ended up coordinating this by default. Very well done. :thumbsup:

It looked fantastic.

Looked amazing, I pity the poor bugger that has to look after that though.

A massive well done to every single one of the ridiculous number of people who were involved in the end.

 

It was a great thing but being completely honest, I'll be pleased not to have to see that flag for a wee while now. :laugh:

 

Nice one JKB.

Well done all involved. :thumbsup:

 

I saw it lying behind the seats when I went to the toilet and it seemed even bigger than when it came over our heads. And that was it all rolled up. :lol:

 

Superb. :thumbsup:

I think a special mention should also go to Neon Jambo and PJ1 for donating ?500 and ?200 respectively. :thumbsup:

I understand the second highest contributor to the flag wants to remain anonymous, so I won't name him, but he should get a special mention as well. ;)

 

 

 

 

 

 

*just re-read that, it definitely isn't me. :laugh:

The Friday was a laugh and great to meet as many good people too. Glad I was able to do my bit on the Saturday as well :)
