Yes you do need to check them in Patrick.

Last week with the Brazilian flags we were stopped by Red badge on Fran Wilde Walk near where the ramps to the train plaforms join. They actually would not let us continue walking down Fran Wilde Walk initially. They said poles of over 1 metre were forbidden under stadium rules.

I said: "We have got pre-approval from both the club and the stadium to have both these flags and flag poles of 1.8 metres. David Dome the Phoenix Marketing manager has organised to have them let in with the head of red badge security."

They said wait here for a minute and we will call our supervisor, and then they said, okay, you're cleared... go to the gate on the right hand side of the fence and they will let your flags through.

I have organised with David Dome for it to work the same way this week.

So, you MIGHT get stopped by Red Badge on Fran Wilde Walk. If you do just tell them that David Dome, Phonenix Marketing Manager has organised for flags and banners to be let in. Then when you get to the gates you have to give them your flags(s)/Banner(s) at the right hand end like with the yellow fever flags. Then you got through the turnstiles like nornal, and collect your flag(s)/Banners once you are through.

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

Awesome, cheers Brandon. Might just head down from the Bencher to the stadium with you anyway, so we don't encounter problems separately.

Nice work with the new banners.

Yep. Hopefully more new flags and banners for the next game.
 
The Red Badge guys on the concourse and at the gate were briefed, and expecting us. Patrick and I had to hold our banners up so the supervisor could point the CCTV camera at it and read the wording before they were approved, but that hardly took any time at all and the gate staff were really friendly and positive. It went well.
 
I didn't hear any grumbles about view blocking from my banner. I think the voluntary code (don't have them up when the ball is in play) worked well. Anyone else?

I'm gonna make a flag for the next game with vertical black and yellow stripes.
 
If news breaks such that it looks like it might be Daniel's final game I am also going to make a banner:
 
I'11 MISS
 
 DANIEL

I'm open to suggestions over what my banner should say next week. I'm guessing stadium staff won't let in:

Haha that would be brilliant. I'll see what happens in the football world in the next weeks, if nothing more topical or more relevant happens I will make that.

I encourage anyone who is thinking of a flag/banner to get into gear and make one! Would be great to have 5-10 up in the Zone as the players walk out at the Gold Coast game.

The chequered flag is in production. It's all sewn and hemmed. Masking it up tonight ready for painting...
 
When it is finished I might do the yellow black and white union jack.

Has anyone got the ability to print that out approximately 50 cm high by 140 cm across?
 
Or has anyone got one of those old tracer-graphic thingys that enabled you to scale up a tracing?
 
I could make a banner with that on it in yellow and blue relatively easily if I could project that image onto the 1.1 metre x 1.5 metre piece of material...
 
Maybe that would be easier? Anyone got a projector we could use to do it?
 
We could have "Stand Strong on The Beach" below it.
