JackanorySFC Posted 26 January, 2017 Posted 26 January, 2017 I think it's pretty safe to assume the Club keep an eye on this board so this could be an opportunity to get some ideas over to them to really make the most of the biggest Day for Southampton FC since 2003, and if we win the biggest day since 1976. Recently the Club have taken to handing out those little paper flag things. Maybe I'm in the monitory here but IMO they look cheap, tacky and an even more small time version of the infamous Chelsea "plastic flags" that Liverpool still rib them about. Basically they are only good for paper aeroplanes/ darts. Whatever your thoughts are I reckon there's an opportunity to do something bigger and better on Cup Final Day. Personally I'd like to see a great big **** off mosaic at our end of the ground. Needs to be simple, smart and poignant to make maximum impact. I'd propose red and white stripes with black lettering saying something like: "LEGEND AWAITS" or "BECOME IMMORTAL", you know the sort of stuff clubs with more creative fan bases than us come up with. Appreciate the Club would prefer to be more on message with something like #WEMARCHON but think we could/ should be more original to reflect the uniqueness of the game. Thoughts?
trousers Posted 26 January, 2017 Posted 26 January, 2017 Last year: I assume that was set-up by the Football League and/or Wembley rather than by each club though? That said, perhaps the clubs are consulted on what they would like.
Hatch Posted 26 January, 2017 Posted 26 January, 2017 I'll be using my hands to hold pints of ale rather than bits of card.
Whitey Grandad Posted 26 January, 2017 Posted 26 January, 2017 Will they let us take the Markus flag ? Having contributed to it I'd like to see it one day and I would hope that The Liebherr family would see this as a fitting occasion.

Saw someone has suggested on twitter that if the club don't allow the Markus flag, then we should create a just giving page to raise the funds to buy a new one! Pretty good idea if you ask me. I'd love to see a massive Markus flag across the bottom tier with something like 'Markus he had a dream' as a mosaic across the top. Make it happen Southampton FC.
simo Posted 26 January, 2017 Posted 26 January, 2017 Maybe the mods can just contact the club and ask if we can take our flag ?

SKD Posted 26 January, 2017 Posted 26 January, 2017 Knowing saints it'll be something sh!t and cringey like # w e m a r c h o n Would love to see a massive flag across the bottom tier though. The display they had in beer Sheva was class!
SKD Posted 26 January, 2017 Posted 26 January, 2017 Someone has suggested everyone getting their lights out on their camera, to represent that famous image of Markus holding his, on the 62nd minute (as this was his age when he passed away). Really good idea!

Really good idea! I was thinking of the nipper who sadly passed away just before the Liverpool game, who we had a minutes applause for but rather remarkably also the minute we scored our 1st goal in.

simo Posted 29 January, 2017 Posted 29 January, 2017 Let's just get the flag and scarfs out before kickoff and then concentrate on the football , I don't want to spend the whole game doing different things tbf !
Griffo Posted 29 January, 2017 Posted 29 January, 2017 How about just decking our end out in flags, messages on bedsheets etc like Cardiff 2003. Rather than the choreographed 'ultra' stuff suggested.
LGTL Posted 29 January, 2017 Posted 29 January, 2017 Can't stand the phone light idea, it's a football match not a concert. Can't stand the pre arranged stuff, just stand, sing loudly and get on with it.
sotonjoe Posted 29 January, 2017 Posted 29 January, 2017 This kind of thing, along with the almost weekly minute applause in memory of a dead fan, should be banned from all football stadia, along with face painting, wigs and fancy dress.
ericb Posted 29 January, 2017 Posted 29 January, 2017 How about just decking our end out in flags, messages on bedsheets etc like Cardiff 2003. Rather than the choreographed 'ultra' stuff suggested. Definitely taking my flag along, have to say I'm not a massive fan of the fancy dress ultra sh*t. Though the camera thing isn't too bad just wonder if it'll be too light to notice it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Sour Mash Posted 29 January, 2017 Posted 29 January, 2017 Can't stand the phone light idea, it's a football match not a concert. Can't stand the pre arranged stuff, just stand, sing loudly and get on with it. Exactly this. No need for pre planned displays. Just turn up and make a load of noise getting behind the team, simple as that.
CB Fry Posted 29 January, 2017 Posted 29 January, 2017 (edited) Let's do a sweepstake for each minute of the match so we can all do something to commemorate something for the entire game. Bagsy my dead dad for minute 11. Big SFC fans and would mean a lot to our family so definitely 30k strangers should be obliged to chant his name for a minute at Wembley. 83rd minute for Bobby Stokes, everyone clapping the linesman for a whole minute. 85th minute for Ted Bates. Minutes silence. 5th minute for the Ted Bates statue, marking the days it was up before Leon stepped in. Chant "pull it down pull it down, pull it down" for a full minute. 49th minute for Nicola Cortese, marking his height in inches. Doesn't matter if you stand or sit for this bit because no one will be quite sure anyway. 13th minute for Paul Sturrock, marking his matches in charge. Everyone spills a bit of tea or any food they have down their front. There's a lot of minutes to fill if we are going to do this match justice. Edited 29 January, 2017 by CB Fry

Golden Balls Posted 30 January, 2017 Posted 30 January, 2017 Definitely taking my flag along, have to say I'm not a massive fan of the fancy dress ultra sh*t. Though the camera thing isn't too bad just wonder if it'll be too light to notice it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I liked the camera thing. Everyone remembers his smiling face taking his own photos at Wembley. Now we go back there without him. KO is at 4:30 so should be dark by 62nd minute.
SKD Posted 30 January, 2017 Posted 30 January, 2017 How about just decking our end out in flags, messages on bedsheets etc like Cardiff 2003. Rather than the choreographed 'ultra' stuff suggested. Yep, or even more recently in Milan. The photo's of our away end & down by the canal will lie with me forever. It seemed as if there were just as many flags as fans! I really hope the fans pull together on this one. At times we can be brilliant, but we need to sing more than just OWTS as it gets tedious and embarrassing just repeating the same song. Even if its 'Claude Puel's Red & White / Black and Grey army' for 20 minutes, something to really get the fans going! I remember the whole end singing this at Carlisle (obviously not with Puel though) for about 20/25 minutes. Real Support and sounded class!
simo Posted 1 February, 2017 Posted 1 February, 2017 I've emailed the club asking if we can take the flag , awaiting reply !
simo Posted 1 February, 2017 Posted 1 February, 2017 Well that was quick "Thank you for taking the time to contact us regarding the flag request. The logistics and permissions needed to take and display the flag may prevent this happening, but we will certainly explore the potential. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us again. Kind Regards "

simo Posted 1 February, 2017 Posted 1 February, 2017 :lol: God only knows how they transport all the their kit to and from every game. Shall I email them back ? Obviously if the logistics and permissions stop us it will stop United ?
SKD Posted 1 February, 2017 Posted 1 February, 2017 Shall I email them back ? Obviously if the logistics and permissions stop us it will stop United ? Pretty pathetic excuse if you ask me. It has no advertisement or polictical statement so i can't see why the FA would object either.

suewhistle Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 This kind of thing, along with the almost weekly minute applause in memory of a dead fan, should be banned from all football stadia, along with face painting, wigs and fancy dress. I dunno, I'd pay good money to see Turkish, Alpine, Hypochondriac and CBFry in that get up..
Pamplemousse Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 This kind of thing, along with the almost weekly minute applause in memory of a dead fan, should be banned from all football stadia, along with face painting, wigs and fancy dress. I agree about the minute's applause thing. It's rather tiring now.
Pamplemousse Posted 11 February, 2017 Posted 11 February, 2017 I'm just going to get really drunk and lose my voice from shouting for 90 minutes. This'll be a good way to commemorate George Burley's time here

bungle Posted 15 February, 2017 Posted 15 February, 2017 Theme should be no colours and a minimum of 6 pints beforehand, but 10 should be the standard. Then standing and shouting/singing Saints songs (not anti-pompey songs). Anyone who wears team colours/replica shirt should be denied entry.

'Pompey fan on a string', 'We are the Southampton the pride of the South', 'Who's fookin laughing now' nothing wrong with them, bette than singer a song about a player who is going to fook off in six months time.

Daft Kerplunk Posted 15 February, 2017 Posted 15 February, 2017 I'll be wearing a flat cap, Lyle and Scott v-neck jumper, adidas Munchens, eating a prawn sandwich, followed by dabbing. Football fan across the ages, representing the amount of time since we won a major trophy. But as for a mosaic, great idea. Get on it saints, no time like now
Toadhall Saint Posted 15 February, 2017 Posted 15 February, 2017 I'm just going to get really drunk and lose my voice from shouting for 90 minutes. Sounds about par for the course - same for me!
