tpbury Posted 16 April, 2012 Share Posted 16 April, 2012 As I was scootering though Boondall, North Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, a car with a saints badge in the back window was indicating to merge, and I duly obliged to let them in. Because the car was driving quite slowly, I needed to overtake. As I did, I wanted to indicate solidarity. I thought of shouting 'Úp the Saints' or some such as I went by, but thought that may be interpreted as agressive. I then thought of holding 3 fingers then 1 up with my non throttle hand in order to indicate our most recent, unfortunate, result, but that may have meant I was a skate taking the mickey. I considered drawing an imaginary halo round my head, but, again, the driver may have thought I was making aspertions about his mental state. Is there any clearly defined, uncomplicated hand gesture which could identify us Saints with each other on the road? I wish I had my Saints shirt on, then I would've let the driver of the white Micra know!! (At least that would mean there would probably mean one less car driver trying to kill me!!!)

This Charming Man Posted 16 April, 2012 Share Posted 16 April, 2012 Honking your horn, whilst hanging out the window shouting Up the Saints would've been sufficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latter day saint Posted 16 April, 2012 Share Posted 16 April, 2012 a large foam hand with "up the Saints!" along the index finger would have been handy. i believe Turkish knows where to purchase the best quality ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohio Saint Posted 16 April, 2012 Share Posted 16 April, 2012 There are several hand/finger gestures for greeting Pompey fans. It would only seem right to have one for our own fans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 16 April, 2012 Share Posted 16 April, 2012 He sells them. Good timing, got a job lot of foam hands with "going up" written on the index finger coming in in time for the Coventry game, it's my dream to turn SMS into a sea of foam hands. Drop me a PM if you want to preorder them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drop me a PM if you want to preorder them. Oh woo yeah.. One critical point though, can you check the dimensions to see if they meet Cabin Baggage regs? I'd have to bring mine back to show the local massive how to give the finger down here, but I HATE waiting around at 3am on my way home for a bag so it's really important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have the "Premier League, we're having a laff" ones ready by then for the new season. I'm also considering doing a discounted bundle offering of a foam hand + a "cortese, Wooo wooo" season ticket holder and lanyard. The cool way to carry your new bar code scanner readable season ticket for the fashion concious supporter.

Turkish Posted 16 April, 2012 Share Posted 16 April, 2012 were these left over stock from the last Gay Pride ? i reckon they were unpopular due to not being stiff enough. Not quite, i got the wording wrong. If i'd have ordered "going down?" instead they'd have gone down a storm, in more ways than one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpbury Posted 17 April, 2012 Author Share Posted 17 April, 2012 Well, the foam hands are going to make brake and throttle control very difficult. Turkish, do you supply Saints badge rear light transfers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamster Posted 17 April, 2012 Share Posted 17 April, 2012 2 x toots on horn to get their attention followed by mouthing 'Red Army' whilst punching the air with free hand is the best approach. Why you no have a Saints window sticker your self anyway? Is you got protected NCD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpbury Posted 20 April, 2012 Author Share Posted 20 April, 2012 Well, it's a scooter, so no windows - it is red, white and black however. I'll try your approach next time, but I think my idea of a transparent sticker over the brake light has got legs!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted 20 April, 2012 Share Posted 20 April, 2012 There are several hand/finger gestures for greeting Pompey fans. Yes, but the trouble is they all require more than six fingers per hand. Thats how they recognise each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
