dune Posted 11 October, 2011 Posted 11 October, 2011 As the flag is only allowed when the club decide surely it'll be on display for All Saints day. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2478202,00.html
The Kraken Posted 11 October, 2011 Posted 11 October, 2011 I'd suggest that would be the least appropriate time for it; All Saints Day means equally honouring all past "Saints", not highlighting one in importance over any others.
niceandfriendly Posted 11 October, 2011 Posted 11 October, 2011 Would be a terrible time for it. All Saints Day is not about one man.
Saint-Armstrong Posted 11 October, 2011 Posted 11 October, 2011 Agree. Would be in bad taste for "All Saints Day" to be overhung by a massive Markus flag. I will forever be grateful but this is not appropriate.
alpine_saint Posted 12 October, 2011 Posted 12 October, 2011 I think Dune is a class A* pr*ck, but this reaction is a bit OTT.
eurosaint Posted 12 October, 2011 Posted 12 October, 2011 I think Dune is a class A* pr*ck, but this reaction is a bit OTT. As back-handed compliments go, that is a belter !
JRM Posted 12 October, 2011 Posted 12 October, 2011 I am not overly bothered, but does no one else think it is a bit strange that fans club together to buy what looked like a superb flag, the fund was then "topped up" by the club who deemed it appropriate to take ownership and control of it? so far it has made an appearance at a poorly attended pre-season friendly when many were on holiday, and it's not like we lack space to put it, the Itchen North corner is left empty at every game. would be good to see more of it.

JRM Posted 12 October, 2011 Posted 12 October, 2011 check out the flag thread for an explanation. i'm a busy man, can you summarise it for me?
PhilippineSaint Posted 12 October, 2011 Posted 12 October, 2011 i'm a busy man, can you summarise it for me? Its about Flags and they dont want to show the one that some supporters paid for in a kernel.
niceandfriendly Posted 12 October, 2011 Posted 12 October, 2011 i'm a busy man, can you summarise it for me? something about a stupid amount of paperwork needed to bring it out on show for each game, so it's going to be saved for the "big ones". or in other words, Cortese is an evil dictator who needs ousting if we're ever to move forward as a club.
DJ_TOAST Posted 12 October, 2011 Posted 12 October, 2011 something about a stupid amount of paperwork needed to bring it out on show for each game, so it's going to be saved for the "big ones". or in other words, Cortese is an evil dictator who needs ousting if we're ever to move forward as a club. Strange that other clubs manage to do it every game isn't it but for some reason for us it's not possible...
JRM Posted 12 October, 2011 Posted 12 October, 2011 Strange that other clubs manage to do it every game isn't it but for some reason for us it's not possible... i did wonder this. Who decides how much a "stupid amount of paperwork" is? who is responsible for it? the safety office of st marys? is it just a form to fill out and they can't be arsed to do it, so instead say "we'll save it for some big ones....which will be when exactly? has anyone asked the club directly what the process is to use the flag, and once we know that we can judge whether or not it really is excessive effort

But I'm not 100% sure, take a look at the thread for more info
