Would ideally like to try and get this made up ASAP for the rest of the away games we have during the season (might try get it made before we play Yeovil but doubt i'll have time) I want the banner to be simple, easilly readable from distance, & eye catching. I've just made up a design that I think would fit the bill perfectly Shouldn't be too difficult to make if I put my mind to it. Size wise i'm thinking approx 20ft x 7ftish, that way it can put over seats or hung up, which ever the stadium allows. Any thoughts? If nobody protests then i'll start looking into getting it made up this weekend.

Just to throw one in as well.
I like Belfast Terriers huuge flag/banner type thing he has. I like the blue n white stripes on there as they're distinguishable from a distance to other fans. Plus it would be good if we could all fly something like that on match days pre match...

Some nice flags there mate Just an update for our group banner. I found a cracking shop in Dewsbury the other day that sell dirt cheap material (£1 per yard ) and its good stuff. They have some better stuff which is more expensive but still cheap. I paid £16 for 8yds x 2yds. The material is at home, and all I need to do now is put the lettering on and the stars. Hopefully be doing this over the next couple of weeks. I didn't actually realise how big the banner was until I got it home and opened it up in my garden so I may have to cut it down a bit...... I'll post up some progress pics in here as & when I make any ;D

The more banners the better my friend Anything you can think of, get it made up, even it's just something as simple of a blue & white flag or half blue/half white, they all add the atmosphere. The possiblilties are endless though, put your mind to it and you could make some really good ones with quotes/song lyrics/film quotes etc that you can link to Town & the players. Thr Group Banner idea is to just something to put up so everyone knows where to head to so everyone can sit together & everyone knows who we are. I've got a few links at home for "ready made" flags that are quite cheap, but personally think it would better for people to make thier own. Whilst i'm making the big group banner i'll do a guide as to how I made it so others can see how simple it is

Just a quick attempt. Went with that font for the 'COWSHED LOYAL' text because its very similar to the sign on the back of the old cowshed.

Just an update on this. Material is all cut to size, all letters are drawn in place, I just need to get the letters painted on. Will try get a picture of how it looks posted up, tried to get one tonight but its too big to get a decent picture of it in my front room If it aint raining tomorrow I'll try peg it to the washing line so you can get an idea of what it looks like.
