Get loads of quotes for the flag play them off against each other and it will never be ready before next Friday so can't the collecting wait until next season?

We need to have a design and choose the dimensions first!

Can't you use the same design and just reduce width and breath by a %

Not at withdean 
especially if most of the clubs offices are going to moving to falmer shortly (all be it temporary accommodation) but its sure to get lost again if left in the wrong hands.

I'm just browsing round various flag sites and just found this
Giant Flag Fact Sheet
Giant Flag Fact Sheet
Width: 50 ft.
Length: 76 ft.
Weight: 125 lbs. when folded in the carrying bag, approx. 3800 lbs. when unfolded and spread out (aerodynamics).
Persons required to hold the flag: 40 to 60 persons.
Team members to carry/hold: Persons are supplied by the parties requesting the flag. Examples of past holders/carrying have been: Military groups,school children, church groups, business employees.
Which reminds me of the time after a game at Huddersfield when I was left with the flag after everyone else just walked off. I had to get that bloody thing back from Huddersfield to Withdean stadium.
40-60 people? yer right.

Good lord. Just goes to show the "interest" in the flag outside of NSC at the time, excepting the Charlton game obviously!

And after it's done its run over the heads? You're working and it's raining.
Or at Huddersfield?
Or at a Playoff Final when everyone just wants to bugger off to celebrate down the pub or bugger off home on a coach that's MILES away?

We LOST the flag at Cardiff didn't we. It was found on a coach (I think) at the Conway Street depot.

Ok true enough maybe not such a good idea but during the week etc

I don't know where it ended up after the Cardiff episode (when there was just ONE volunteer out of 30,000 decent enough to get it back to the coach).
But I do remember having to go to Conway Street to pick it up after a game at Vicarage Road. It was in a terrible tangle, having been manhandled off the coach by someone who had no reason to be interested in what it was and dumped it in a deserted corner of the bus garage.

We had all this boundless enthusiasm about the giant flag first time round. As Lord B points out, it then seems to fade just as quickly when there's a bit of lugging instead of drinking to be done - especially when the original flag was far, far too big in the first place. I hate to say it because it's a great shame but it's an idea that's come and gone, IMHO.
