    Flags for Ireland!

    So then, it would bve great if we or as individuals were to all get as many flags, banners and two stick flags for the next match. One can make a decent looking banner quite easily or there are other companies that will custom make them for you.

    Would it be worthwhile setting up a find for a display of some sorts etc?

    Flags

    They've been noticeably absent for a good while now. That and people wearing green jerseys. Anything to brighten the place up would be good. Don't think the two stick flags are practicle in our set up tbh, and they way I see it, the remaining games in Croker should be used as ironing out the creases of the Singing Section, so that when we get back to the Road, we'll hit the ground singing in harmony!
    Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!

    How come at away games everyone wears green but when it comes to home games people don't make an effort at all.

    Because on away games people are usually over wherever for a day or 2 and its
    a bit of a holiday where as a home game some people go straight from work to
    the game.

    The GAA heads told us to take them down or they would be removed.

    I seem to remember at the Cyprus game during the last campagn that stewards
    were taking down Ireland flags but left up a Cypriot Chelsea Supporters Club

    I think be class if we had an all green colour section like the time Ireland beat Holland in 2001.

    I hope there is plenty of colour that night and hopefully with great atmosphere also Ireland will get the desired result of 3 points and make if great evening

    Flags and Banners would certainly add some much needed colour and feed the atmosphere.

    Just don't stand near me with the bleedin yoke - I want to see the game!!!

    That was certainly the case although at the Poland game no Polish flags were taken down but there werent many of our flags due to the cyprus experience

    The Georgia game didnt notice any taken down that had been up.
