Our head steward is a big fan of the club so bends over backwards sometimes but the other stewards can sometimes be jobsworths and we weren't allowed to put it up anywhere, despite me pleading to put it up in the 2 empty sections nearest to Accy fans I was told no. I couldn't even put that larger one which was on the pitch before the game in the empty seats. Still we took it to Mansfield and it looked quite good, and hopefully they will allow us to take it to Swindon at the weekend too.
The long one at the back of the stand, well funny story about that. Originally I had an idea for the longest scarf and in actual fact it was supposed to go across the back of that stand. Instead the club, who in fairness were paying for it asked the manufacturer
www.barmyflags.co.uk to make it 100 metres long which of course is ridiculously too long. So I had it cut in half so we had two long banners instead. One reads STOCKPORT COUNTY, and the other reads THE SCARF MY FATHER WORE, which is our most popular song.
I might come down tonight if I can get away from work. In fact ****** it I will come down, does you steward allow tifo flagpoles into the ground? Cause if your man has a spare flag I can use I would be glad to come and support your lot.
