Author Topic: Flags & Banners - Welcoming the Liverpool Team Coach 29th November 2014 (Read 150626 times)

Initially, I wanted the team to arrive at the ground highly motivated and fully understanding that things had stepped up a gear.

Usually, the team coach's path to Anfield is a clear run, passing sporadic groups of match-going fans on the way. I felt that every player should pass a sea of red flags, waving and cheering them on to a vital home victory.

Then I realised that what they really need to motivate them is an intimidating display of fireworks and smoke bombs, delivered Ukrainian style.

That'll teach them.

Handgrenades are ok though.

You are a wag Chopper.

Not a bad idea all the same.

Any idea where to get a flag delivered next day for tomorrow?

I want to print an original design soon, but anything Liverpool or red and white will do...

Going to be bringing my two wavers along if I can get out of work in time. Can't wait!

Stalls around Anfield will have them tomorrow if you're not too fussed what they are.

Buzzing for this, let's hope it's a good turn out

lukeb1981 · « **Reply #87 on:** March 25, 2014, 10:33:57 am »

Should really do this for every home game from now till the end of the season really get the players going before the match

Was there? I know they set one off which was purple but didn't know was one on the Kop.

Yeah, there's a better picture from in 305 somewhere but I can't find it. Can see it at the top left here.

Hat, Scarf or a Badge on Walton Breck Road will have their red and white chequered flags tomorrow. £8 for the 5 x 3 one I think.

Redric1970 · « **Reply #91 on:** March 25, 2014, 10:38:49 am »

It would be fantastic if this could happens for all the remaining home games.

RedTriumph · « **Reply #92 on:** March 25, 2014, 11:03:02 am »

What about being there to "welcome" the away team, too? When it really counts we try and put the opposition off when they're on the ball, mid-game, so why not try and intimidate them, scare them, as they arrive at the ground? This is Anfield.

I agree with those who say we should do this for every remaining home game, and we'll need to intimidate Spurs, City and Chelsea more than Sunderland.

I think this is a very fine line to tread. There's quite a small area where the coach drops off and people are waiting, it could appear way more aggressive (in a bad way) than it should imo.

It's always better to row your own boat. In my opinion.

Just been and got two sticks for our banner, first time we've had it up on sticks but should be fine. My trusty red and white flag from Taksim Square just been ironed and ready too.

Whats the plan? Depending on numbers it'd be good to see a crowd from by the Arkles junction right down to the gates !

Looking like me and the kids will be in the Sandon for the game though on the TV

This is a great idea. I remember that Spurs game well. A high point in an otherwise depressing season.

Quote from: Gandalf The Red on March 24, 2014, 11:49:41 pm

With our fans, we don't need smoke or flares. Those things are for fans who don't have the spirit of ours.

Agreed. Songs, banners and flags create atmosphere and they require dedication and organisation on a large scale. Anyone can set off a flare.

Does anyone think the Sunderland players will get a boost from playing in such a lively atmosphere? They might get intimidated but if I was playing against infront of our historic atmosphere as the massive underdog I'd be well chuffed and really proud to play and fight tooth and nail to put in a great shift that i could remember and tell the grandkids about... "i scored infront of the kop with champions league-like atmosphere when they were in the title race"... Just saying...

Fucking hell.

Hij · « **Reply #103 on:** March 25, 2014, 02:36:41 pm »

I've had to complete my dissertation for Uni (still not 100% done yet) in between trying my hardest to put this game to the back of my thoughts.

This is it lads. 8 cup finals, starting with an evening kick off, under the flood lights, to go within one point of the top.

One, big fucking push like.

fuck sake, these are less than £3 each - would look pretty boss on a dark Wednesday night - whats the worst that can happen?

Yeah let one off , no one sees anything. the bus goes by and the players are like WTF why is there smoke all the way up Anfield road.

Don't finish work till 4.30 but should be able to get there by 6.30 latest depending on whether or not the Soccerbus is on form. Hope I can get there in time, gonna be boss this.

If your talking about the worst thing that can happen in the ground with smoke bombs is you'll probably have your season ticket revoked and miss us win the league!

And police might start dispersing people from the area.

Not worth it in this situation

Early tea it is then, full hip flask to warm the throat and away we go.

The atmosphere before Spurs in 09/10 was a fantastic high point in a shocking season.

Are smoke bombs illegal too? or is it just the nutter flares - i know they're both banned from the ground

Now then if a person was sitting in a rubber dinghy or small kiddies boat on the pavement on Anfield Road they would be in some predicament on how they would get to Albert Dock.
Would this not be a case to launch one of those distress flares to call for help (your honour) ?
