Yes it was laid out on a seating plan. The location of access tunnels & walkways can make it difficult at times.

Sorry we embarrassed you.

Idiot
 
Honestly man, group of people get together to try and improve the spectacle and atmosphere and some people just want to f***ing butch and moan about them….pathetic.

Just as pathetic as the lack of engagement and support from the club.

Well done to everyone involved, sad to see you walk away but don’t blame you at all given what some have thrown at you.

@Spiritof73 what would it take to keep things going, both in terms of fan support and stuff from the club?

I’ve really enjoyed seeing what you do and have contributed previously, but in terms of volunteering I haven’t done that for many years (many moons ago I was involved in Ha’way the Flags, which long pre-dated Wor Flags, so don’t let those fuckers make out like the invented the concept!). Well, I’d like to change that and help out in some way if it would perhaps change your minds. Maybe others feel the same?

Nothing mate. It’s the end of the road for us.

It’s became a drain on our personal lives, one of the lads has became quite ill (may or may not be related but he needs to focus on his health), the club have been less than great to deal with and it’s just not worth it.

You do know it was a handful of lads doing it in their spare time after work with the club doing everything they can to make it hard for them?

Most other teams in Europe who do this stuff have armies of fans mucking in and the clubs completely on board and helping to fund it

If you think you can do better then crack on, now's your chance because the lads who have put their heads above the parapet for the past few years are jacking it in, party due to comments like yours.

Shock horror as you can't get thousands of people to make perfect lettering.

There's fuck all wrong with it as you can clearly see what it says without issue.

Go back and analyse other clubs who've done displays like this and you'll find the same thing.

The Mags would try and sneer at anything we did. That’s how local rivalries work.

It looked superb. Everyone I know thought it looked superb.

Thank you for the effort, you were always on a hiding to nothing with our club atm mind, you were damned no matter what you did, I am more disappointed at the amount of people having digs, not everything is my cup of tea, not keen on large flags and the such myself but that is just my personal taste but I would never have a go at you guys trying your best, I can see the time and effort must have been above and beyond.

I look forward to the people who seem to have all the answers and saying they could do better putting there money were there mouth is and taking over...... ( we all know they wont! )

edit.

the display at the weekend looked fab on the telly mind, very impressive.

Have to say, some our our fans get the shit service they deserve from the club.
Utter cucks.

This. Not sure what people expect from a handful of lads with full time jobs doing this with one hand tied behind their back because of the club and supported by however many people they can get to rock up.

I feel sorry for anyone taking it on because you pretty much need to be active on twitter and it's an absolute cesspit. That lass making awful accusations and then, when her arse drops, pretending the comments were made "in jest" ffs. At least this place is largely supportive. You couldn't pay me to be a rawa rep for twitter based fans, never mind doing something like displays which take days of your life only for people to criticise every element of it. Some just want to see everything fail so they can have a whinge. And then they'll moan on that the atmosphere is crap or similar

I could be the PR rep, I’m canny at calling people fanny, wankers and clunts. 😎

Thanks for all your efforts and the memorable displays
 
The stadium looked superb and the atmosphere was bouncing.

Me and the bairn went down on Friday to help for a few hours and I can confirm that it was basically a hand full of people sorting it out, some of which had spent 2 full days of their time making sure it was ready.

The flags and banner displays that the club use to promote stuff are down to the spirit of 37, and despite this the club do nowt but put up blockers.

Well done to everyone involved. I really hope the displays continue. We will volunteer to help again if they do.
I fully understand anyone saying that's it for them though.
 
With this kind of work your always going to get negative comments, don’t take it personal lads
This forum is a great example people believe they have the right to criticise without backing it up or willing to do better.
Life’s a bitch and some people are not worth the bother.
I don’t blame the lads packing in mainly due to the club being so negative to support these lads.
The club love using the images which is a piss take.
