You're such a flag slag ;D I get bored too easially ;D They're nothing special, but my mum brought loads of old bed sheets home from the Hotel she works at and it would have been a shame to see them only be used as ground sheets for decorating

Not the best picture but here you go: Might colour the white bits with some lighter brown as I think it looks a bit strange in white, was going to do them black but you wont really be able to see it due to the brown being dark. Just need to trim them down a little as they are slightly over 1m, and we all know that could kill someone Also found some more old sheets in my mums work. Drawn a couple of ideas up ready to painted. Just need some other basic ideas for the others so there will be 10 in total inc. those 2 when i've done) Also got some blue material that i'm going to make some wavy flags out of when i'm off work in a couple of weeks I wouldn'y mind making some bigger massive wavey flags up, but with the restrictions at home games I dont know if there is much point? What you reckon?

Very impressive pozz! Was that all painted then or cut out material? Definately too much time on your hands ;D Top quality though pal, makes me want to make one How much did it cost you to make it? And what materials did you use etc? As for the big massive wavey flag, aslong as that safety barsteward is in charge we have no chance at home could make an appearance at the away games though?

Just painted on mate. Should have made a guide really, i'll do one when I make the next set. I had all the materials lying around so technically they didn't cost me anything. However, if I were to estimate going on what i've seen around when looking for stuff it would be: £4 single bed sheet (Get um from ASDA, Tesco or Matalan ) £1.50 Brown paint tester pot (B&Q) £1.50 Blue paint tester pot (B&Q) £1 paint brush (B&Q) £1.80 cane (you get 10 though so thats like 18p each) (B&Q) So thats £8.36 in total for both flags. (obviously you could do 2 different designs if you wanted to) Sizes are approx 1m x 90cm's Really easy to make an all. If your good at drawing then you can just draw the picture you want straight on to the material. If not, you could use a picture from the internet and use MS Paint to make the picture bigger and print it off, stick the pages together and trace it on. Then, just use a pencil/marker pen to put the outline onto the material, and paint it. Took me about 2 hours to make them from start to finish, and I got a nice tan from painting them outside Dont worry about everything being neat and tidy, remember people will be sitting a fair distance away so it doesn't matter if your drawing isn't perfect or you go out the lines a little. Those 2 have loads of imperfections but when stood at the other end of my garden you cant see um. Good thinking with regards to making some bigger ones for the aways. My mum is going to see if she can get some more sheets from her Hotel so if she does i'll use them. Just have to get some tellescopic poles from somewhere so they collapse o we can get them in the ground.

Entirely up to you lads. I've got some totally random ideas for my next few flags that dont really have any relevance to Town, but I think they will look good and just be something a bit different Think what your into, and then see if you can relate it back to Town in anyways. Do a Google search for Ultras Tifo and have a look on the Forum. Loads of flags on there you can take some inspiration from

Depends how much you need really.
You can 100ml tester pots from B&Q for about £2, that should do you for a wavy flag. If not, the next sized tin up will cost you about £5/£6 I reckon, depending on the colour.

What's the size limit for flags according the the stewards at the 'Pharm?

Post by Pozza on Jul 8, 2009 12:53:39 GMT
As far as I am aware, the flag itself can be any size. Its the pole that is the problem. That has to be under 1m.
All flags i've made up have been 90cm high, and then the lenght of them is just a little bit bigger.

1m worth of pole protruding from the flag that you can hold or 1m including the polie inside the sleeve?
