Display of Colour for City v Nantes???

**michaelguineys** · 15/07/2004, 4:46 PM

Will FourFiveOne be doin anything for the Nantes game at the Cross?

I thought the green, red and white flags in the Shed at Malmo game looked brilliant, any chance of gettin them again?
The TIFO flags were badly missed at the Nijmegen game so hopefully they'll be on show for nantes game aswell.

The Red Fm placards really added to the atmosphere so hopefully they'll do that again for Nantes game. Does anyone know if they are?

Any other ideas?
Balloons being released as sum1 earlier mentioned wud look really well too.
We really need to make as big an impact as we can

No doubt we'll come up with some ideas in some bar or nightclub in Nantes late on Saturday or Sunday night!!

I'd say we'll do something for the home leg alright.
Most of the small flags from the Malmo game are broken/torn/stolen but we'll try and come up with something new. Anyone got any ideas? We'll only have 5 days to organise it so it's got to be quite simple to do.

id say the balloon idea wud be gud 2b honest.

Get a loada green, white and red balloons and keep em in one of those net things. Then leave em all go either on the pitch before kick off or jst in front of the Shed?

something on a smaller scale? or maybe 96fm can top red fm

Yeah, it's got to be something on a smaller scale. I'm racking my brains but I can't think of something with a big visual impact that you can organise in less than a week.
Apparantly the balloons idea is very expensive and I'm not a big fan of the idea anyway to be honest.
Don't worry the Rebel Army will come up with something alright....

If you want to keep balloons in a net and release them, you have to remember that thye would need to be filled with helium. This would cost money.

The MFA would hardly allow some sort of bunting around the stands would they?

The displays dont just happen, they take loads and loads of people and planning so if anyone has time why not contact 451 with ideas/offers to help on the day of the match etc.

Ballons are very pricey unless you buy them bulk well in advance, also very hand to organise and deploy. Bit of a non-runner at short notice.

I'm sure with a bit of looking around the ballons could be picked up at a reasonable price but it's getting them all filled with helium thats the problem. This would have to be done at the ground as it'd be pretty tricky to transport a couple of hundred balloons filled with helium!!!!

As far as I know most of us that organised the flags display are travelling and staying in the same hotel in Nantes so why not have a little meeting over there on Saturday evening to see what we can come up with???

Would it be bad form to bring a french flag into the shed, to welcome our froggy friends. Its the only flag i have.

Oh yeah theres a silhouette of eric cantona on it.

Nothing will happen unless more people come forward to help.

We need 6 people to wave TIFO flags for a start.

If we are to do the small flags in the Shed the 10/12 of us that are already involved would be needed for that.

Banners and flags need to be hung in the Shed hours before the game... anyone able to help?
