chocco boxo Posted 18 August, 2011 Posted 18 August, 2011 What is the best one you have seen or the weirdest place you have seen one? We had some good ones at the 2003 Final and some good banners at 76'. Pictures welcome.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 18 August, 2011 Posted 18 August, 2011 I remember there being one, at the entrance to the City, when we were playing Pompey, saying: "Dear Skates, please leave your caravans at the park & ride" (or something similar) which made me chuckle.
Golden Balls Posted 18 August, 2011 Posted 18 August, 2011 A few haircuts needed there. I think you're just getting old
Under Weststand Posted 18 August, 2011 Posted 18 August, 2011 I always loved the Mike Channon one from the 1976 cup Final. Channons Cannons Fire Saints. Always stuck in my mind.
Fan The Flames Posted 18 August, 2011 Posted 18 August, 2011 Have you lot discovered the fountain of youth but haven't told your mate on the end.
Badvoc Posted 18 August, 2011 Posted 18 August, 2011 Big banner placed over a road bridge on the A12 up to Ipswich (Nov '92) saying 'BRANFOOT OUT!'
manji Posted 18 August, 2011 Posted 18 August, 2011 Ugly Inside organised "Hoddle Dont Go" amused me.
alehouseboys Posted 18 August, 2011 Posted 18 August, 2011 I always loved the Mike Channon one from the 1976 cup Final. Channons Cannons Fire Saints. Always stuck in my mind. "Jesus Saves - but Channon nets the rebounds" was another around in the '76 cup run. Someone draped a "PFC RIP" one over the fences away at Blackburn for the tele (Friday night live on BBC - cracking trip!) just after we'd done the bluefew at fartton in '84. I liked that one.
Saint Malc Posted 18 August, 2011 Posted 18 August, 2011 I remember there being one' date=' at the entrance to the City, when we were playing Pompey, saying: "Dear Skates, please leave your caravans at the park & ride" (or something similar) which made me chuckle.[/quote'] I did that one with some help from a mate :-)
100%Red&White Posted 18 August, 2011 Posted 18 August, 2011 An old mate of mine nicked a fookin massive Union Jack off some ship in the docks some 30 years back. He stripped off, and it was wrapped around his legs, arms and body, got dressed over it as best he could to get out with his prize. Mission accomplished. It turned up at about 2 away games with 'SOUTHAMPTON FC' emblazoned across it and then was never seen again as the thing was a massive ball's-ache carting around. - probably abandoned in some northern boozer!

A mate of mine nicked th old Ensign that flew off the back of the Ark Royal! That thing was mahoosive! It must have been 7 feet high by 17 feet wide!

um pahars Posted 18 August, 2011 Posted 18 August, 2011 Someone draped a "PFC RIP" one over the fences away at Blackburn for the tele (Friday night live on BBC - cracking trip!) just after we'd done the bluefew at fartton in '84. I liked that one. I can remember another one that Friday night and it just said "Hello Pompey" above a huge one fingered salute.

It must have been 7 feet high by 17 feet wide! Someone I know (who still works in the docks so I'll spare him his name) lifted a huge American flag from a boat. The Stars were promptly cut off leaving a nice red and white section that we added "Southampton FC, Pride of the South" in time for the 84 Qtr final at Hillsborough. Don't remember what happened to it after that game.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 18 August, 2011 Posted 18 August, 2011 What I really hate is a flag that I've helped pay for but never seen in the ******* flesh! PS: When exactly is the Markus flag going to be displayed at a league home game?
paulwantsapint Posted 18 August, 2011 Posted 18 August, 2011 Loved the old echo sign along lines of Welcome To Le Gods Country Follow Matt & the Saints in the echo
View From The Top Posted 18 August, 2011 Posted 18 August, 2011 Best one I've seen for years is the Chelsea one that says "Where were we when we were sh*t? Usually your town, your pub and your end"
timebomb Posted 18 August, 2011 Posted 18 August, 2011 I loved the "Le God for England" painted on a wall near the docks, that was there for ages.
CanadaSaint Posted 18 August, 2011 Posted 18 August, 2011 I remember there being one' date=' at the entrance to the City, when we were playing Pompey, saying: "Dear Skates, please leave your caravans at the park & ride" (or something similar) which made me chuckle.[/quote'] Yep, that was a favourite - and probably will be again. I also liked "Yellow and Blue versus Manchester who?" in '76.
um pahars Posted 18 August, 2011 Posted 18 August, 2011 Yep, that was a favourite - and probably will be again. I also liked "Yellow and Blue versus Manchester who?" in '76. In 1979 I had: "Lawrie's Lumberjacks Will Cut Down Clough's Forest" Sadly, we didn't!!!!! (bloody Gary Birtles)
niceandfriendly Posted 18 August, 2011 Posted 18 August, 2011 I did that one with some help from a mate :-) That was great, do you have a photo?
Saint Malc Posted 18 August, 2011 Posted 18 August, 2011 That was great, do you have a photo? There was a photo at the time and it was on the UI message board. Rut, who sometimes frequents this board, took the picture. I'll ask him if he still has a copy
Saint Malc Posted 18 August, 2011 Posted 18 August, 2011 Rut has sent me the photo but I can't seem to upload it as it needs a URL Doh!.
Rut Posted 18 August, 2011 Posted 18 August, 2011 This one's for Malc (and Gord if he ever reads this forum). Sat 13 Nov 2004. Prem Lg. Saints 2 P**pey 1. Pre-game at Redbridge Roundabout:
This Charming Man Posted 18 August, 2011 Posted 18 August, 2011 Best one I've seen for years is the Chelsea one that says "Where were we when we were sh*t? Usually your town, your pub and your end" Saw that on Facebook. Class flag.
benjii Posted 18 August, 2011 Posted 18 August, 2011 Saw that on Facebook. Class flag. That's the gayest one yet TBF.
adrian lord Posted 18 August, 2011 Posted 18 August, 2011 "Channon Strikes Faster than British Leyland" Cup Final, 1976.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 18 August, 2011 Posted 18 August, 2011 What I really hate is a flag that I've helped pay for but never seen in the ******* flesh! PS: When exactly is the Markus flag going to be displayed at a league home game? I take it no-one knows the answer this then? Amazing.
Hemel Saint Posted 18 August, 2011 Posted 18 August, 2011 At the 76 Cup Final. "Yellow and Blue, versus Manchester who?"
This Charming Man Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 That's the gayest one yet TBF. More witty and laddish than most of the cringefest banners we come up with.
CFSFC Posted 19 August, 2011 Posted 19 August, 2011 Best one I've seen for years is the Chelsea one that says "Where were we when we were sh*t? Usually your town, your pub and your end" I take back the gay comment... Thats class.
