All finished up now after carefully measuring, marking and fixing. Particularly pleased with the flames.

Yeah, the lads who commissioned me are big fans of Ian McNabb.

Cheers, that's very kind! I'm trying to put a hobby to work as I've just had a little one and want to start saving for her.

Talking of which, my website is now live: handmadebanners.co.uk

If anyone would be kind enough to leave some nice comments on the blog posts, that would be fantastic.

It's been a long wait for the fabric, but here we are, ready for 8pm tomorrow.

Not exactly a banner, but...

Received a new commission this week (from a RAWKite, in fact) which has been keeping me busy between teaching online and looking after my five month old.

Blogging it from inception to finished result over on my website if anyone wants to take a look.

Looks great again. What size is that in terms of banner?

As the fabric comes in 1.5m widths, I usually do about 2.4m X 1.5m. I find this a good size to work with - big enough to have an impact, small enough to fold into a small bag.

Think I preferred the middle design on the top row, but still looks great.

My personal favourite was the German number plate font, but I do quite like the one he's chosen too. Maybe not as classic looking, but there is a story and a reason behind it which makes it a talking point.

*Social distancing since Sept 19

Regardless of how we win it, I think keeping an asterix would piss other people off

Someone else said on here that would be hard to get an outing in 2020 due to the reference to wife beating

Here's an idea for a banner:

A picture of Bill Shankly, Lord Kitchener style,a la... Your country needs you

Points above

Then a velcroed removable sheet with numbers on. Say 37 (hopefully) in Man Utds case

You!

This number changed every home game to suit whoever we played this season

royhendo · « **Reply #10260 on:** May 15, 2020, 11:17:06 am »

You could use the one where he's pointing up. Hold on... this one.

Paul56 · « **Reply #10261 on:** May 15, 2020, 01:17:19 pm »

cheers RH that'd look the part..

CraigDS · « **Reply #10262 on:** May 15, 2020, 01:21:37 pm »

Not sure it would make much sense come next season unless we're (back in stadiums and) massively ahead of everyone again.

I always felt we should have had an EU flag up when it still mattered, but as far as I know we never did. Probably says something about Britain tbf, nobody ever really cared that much either way. Anyway would still be nice to get a few stars around the place.

Love that.

I like that too.

I might arrange the stars around the PL trophy on my new flag like that, with our old friend the asterisk.

I initially couldn't be arsed having to paint 19 stars after also doing the six for Big Ears, but I do like that design there.

CraigDS · « **Reply #10266 on:** May 16, 2020, 01:41:40 am »

18 old style league trophies with an asterisk as the 19th would be pretty good too.

Has anyone considered whether all the usual banners could be set out on the Kop when the games restart without the fans??

Maybe the owners could be given permission to lay them out. Would be better than rows of empty seats

I like this a lot...better than cardboard cut out of fans

CraigDS · « **Reply #10271 on:** May 17, 2020, 12:24:31 pm »

Great idea. Even better if they could put them up on supports so they are held up properly rather than just draped over seats.

This week I've done an interview about my banners with This Is Anfield for a feature they're planning to run next week. Made up.
