gotta pull out all the stops...whats your guys feeling on flareres


Working on the big shirt. Got something in the works regarding that.

Flares are banned.
I would secretly like them though :D.
Yellow Smoke Bombs.


If a flare goes off am I right in thinking the Phoenix could be fined?

Unnecessary fine for someone to pay who has already given us so much thus far.

Games Run by FFA hence they pay the fine . If its against the rules don't do it the club will get in trouble.

Yeah, let's not with the flares and smoke bombs. We don't want to look like the Stabbies burning up seats and forcing people to move.

And it wouldn't be a good look for the FZ to have some larakin set something on fire (I've already seen seats broken bad enough).

Yeah I've seen broken seats as well; Flares are pointless.

Flares and fireworks scared the hell out of me in Indonesia where crowd control was non-existent (I think 990 of the 1000 Police and security guards assigned to the match were eating donuts...all at the same time).

Anyway take a sneak peek at the the next banner in the works:



"THIS" Yellow Fever or "THE" Yellow Fever?

This is a handheld banner that will be held up by a group of 10 of us wearing "infection control" gowns.

Surely we can let one or two flares off?

I think it'd be awesome to see a banner with all those Nix players that have had head bandages on this season, maybe Mt Rushmore style, with the slogan "The Few and the Brave" or "The Winning Wounded"

There is not much spray paint in a can!!!

I used the can left over after "Bahrain's Pain" and holy crap it ran out! Just as well it was before 9pm and the Warehouse was still open so I shot down and got a new can.

But that ran out just as I was about to finish "10 MORE YEARS"!!!!

That was about 10 minutes ago (11:30pm, beautiful clear Dunedin evening for painting) and I had to finish the job by hand.

Whew!!!! I have 4 banners and 16 flags now.

I'm too tired and sleep deprived to even begin to work out how to take photos of these things. One is huge and the others are still fairly sizeable.
 
Come Play will be unveilled at RYOS tomorrow (come along mid morning and give us a hand ). Photos will be taken and posted.
 
Phil's commissioned banner should also be on display at RYOS tomorrow as long as they aren't too busy. I'm keen on getting a shot of Phil waving it before he becomes world famous on NZ TV.
 
Can't Shake this Yellow Fever will be handheld in front of our group of 10. Will try to get a shot somehow.
 
And of course 10 More Years will be hung at the ground somewhere presuming a suitable railing and enough cable ties

Wow that's a bit keen!! Not sure my mates would be so keen LOL

Do people tend to come early? I need to sell about 5 plain yellow (but as large as you can bring to the stadium) flags that we made. We made a few spare to sell because the last time we were asked by people where they could buy the flags we made. Hopefully it might help to offset some of the almost $100 I've spent on materials for the flags and banners for the Phoneix
