Afternoon all,
By popular request, we’re aiming to get all the South Stand flags out on Saturday before the Vale game. We’ll be putting most of the flags out on the seats (as we did for the Forest Green game) but as an entirely fan-led initiative we need help with a couple of things.
- Waving the large flags at the front of the stand.
- Collecting flags in after the game and returning them to the storage area under block 9.
If you’re able to give up 10-15 minutes before the game to wave a large flag, please drop us a message either here or on Twitter or Instagram (@ southstandflags). No need to message us re. helping collect flags in but any help on that is massively appreciated!
Cheers
Justin

Best of luck with the display!
My nephew will be attending his first Town game on Saturday; hopefully, it'll be an afternoon to remember.

Hello mate, just had to check re timings as I sometimes struggle to get there on time due to family commitments on a Saturday but should be able to arrive a bit earlier on Saturday. At least 2 but possibly 4 of us will be able to help if you still need people?

Can't wait to see how it looks in what hopefully will be a packed out South Stand today. You should be well chuffed with your efforts. A thank you and a well done to all involved.👍

Great work from all involved! I think we could do with a specific chant to go along with it that the whole ground is aware of and can join in with.

Lots of complimentary comments from Vale fans about the atmosphere in the ground yesterday, including the flags; "1 hour ago, connor hackett said: Good atmosphere at the ground yesterday, I liked the flags behind the goal prior to kick off, looked great. I'd like to see something similar in the Hamil next season. And the safe standing made for a cracking atmosphere by their fans as for us half our fans sat down and didn’t make a sound" "I would love for us to have safe standing when we move to Hamil End. Really think it would help our atmosphere." "From where we were in block 20 I thought Shrewsbury fans made a good noise, as they should given their winning run, and the game and atmosphere were a decent advert for the level" Source; www.onevalefan.co.uk/forum/topic/56858-match-thread-shrewsbury-town-v-port-vale/page/34/#commentsThis on the back of similar comments from Oxford fans last week. It's definitely notable that the club is gaining a reputation for having some of the best support in the division and a big portion of the credit for that has to go to the efforts put in by South Stand Flags and the wider community in the South Stand and away support. It must have a positive impact on the players as well. It was great to get involved in the display yesterday- looking forward to more of this kind of thing. Feels like the sky's the limit really, particularly with good form leading to bigger and more enthusiastic crowds.

Pictures of the flags look decent!
The only hypothetical improvement would be all standing and some controlled pyro but it'll never happen in this country whilst fans are classified as out of control criminals.

Yes some pyro in the safe standing with the flags at the front would be excellent. As would an all standing stand It looks superb, but there’s definitely a lot of flags not being waved across the stand, must be some miserable ****ers to not join in for a few minutes

We’ve had 7 or 8 supporters groups from teams up and down the country asking us for advise now, so we must be doing something right!
I don’t think there’s anything we can do regarding the third or so of fans that just point blank won’t wave a flag for 2 minutes, every flag was accompanied with info about the display and it was well publicised on all social media. Anyhow, the sheer number of flags we’re now able to distribute means we can still create a decent spectacle regardless.

the south stand have become a credit to the club, no wonder so many have 'defected' there from other parts of the ground
