you're quite welcome to bring a "Martin in" banner to the next game. We've had people bring all sorts of banners and flags into the feverzone. Most would realise that a small banner is hardly representative of everybody.
If somebody other than Patrick bought the banner in, would you still have the same problem? (Did Patrick even bring it in?).
The nix are a massive stakeholder of NZF, and deal with them on a number of issues. Hell, they stuffed up a transfer of a player of ours on deadline day very recently. They were also not exactly helpful with our licence issues. I'd say it's a relevant banner.
Again, you're basically saying nobody is allowed to bring a flag or banner in, just in case somebody else doesn't like or disagrees with it. Does the same apply to chants? Where do you draw that line? Should we just sit silently with no banners or flags, in fear of misrepresenting someone?
Don't chant "Wellington is wonderful" just in case someone thinks it isn't.
Sit down in case someone thinks we shouldn't be standing (or do we stand in case someone thinks we shouldn't sit? - should we crouch to keep everyone half happy?)
Don't put a 10 more years banner up in case someone thinks we should have got 15.
