Flags and Banners
...yes. And the Brisbane 2's and 3s are unfortunately out too...
Maybe yellow and black 4's and 5's? 
My point about banners is that they can be amusing on first reading (remember "David Bain is Guilty" at one match?), but the joke or comment just gets a bit boring from then on.
<snip>
Provided they get changed and are current, why not? Still prefer flags though......
You will be pleased to learn then that I bought 10 metres of yellow banner making cloth yesterday, in anticipation of chaning/making new banners regularly. And I can get more, the fabric shop welcomes return cuastomers.
My Lochy 101 * banner is certianly not planned to be used again.
to save me some time can i just buy one of your leftovers please?
I have not got to making large striped or chequered flags for this week, as I have been making banners instead.(I will be making flags for the next home game though). However I do have several Phoenix flags on poles. I will have them with me at the Back Bencher (outside in the BBQ area) so come and say hi and introduce yourself.

The jinx police might come down on you like a ton of bricks though.
Marine flag L .. 'you should stop, I have something important to communicate'
Except it only means that if it is flown on the water outside the harbour... if it is flown inside the harbour, on the water, it means This ship is quarantined, but more importantly, if it is flown ashore (like we would be doing) it means "See the notice board. An amendment to the sailing instructions is posted there."

Seeing as the normal sailing instructions are 'Can't win away, can't win away...' then that seems fair.
Cheers for the image by the way.

I have fabric and paint if you need it...

Needs some stencils made out of a decent material for re-use for the whole alphabet then a spray paint on yellow cloth can mass produce words if not images.
That would be a very worthwhile thing to do.
In the meantime I have a file which I use to help me stencil the letters onto the fabric for painting. I can't attach it here from work, but here is what I did:
1. Open word, set the page to landscape.
2. Turn gridlines one. (In word 2010, go to the Page Layout tab, click Align (far right), and then click Show Gridlines. (You can't print them unfortunately, but see below to get around this.)
3. I use font = Arial. For a banner with two lines of text set the Font Size to 90. For a 3 line banner set the Font Size to 45.
4. Set the paragraph spacing to Before 18pt and After 12 pt.
5. Type your wording.
6. Take a Print Screen screenshot.
7. Open MS Paint, paste into there.
8. Use the select tool to select an area 30 squares x 30 squares.
9. Cut, and open a new document, and paste.
10. Save and print.
For a 1.5 metre x 1.5 metre banner each square in your 30 x 30 grid is 5 cm x 5 cm on your actual banner.
Stencil the letters using a pencil and ruler. Masking tape the letters. Paint.

Viola.

Yes indeed bwtcf! And rather appropriate for the Fever Zone, perhaps?!

If you want to learn how to make banners, this page is really helpful.

Hmmm, very keen. Very, very keen.
Just went to Spotlight and bought 1.2m x 1.2m of a similar yellow material to that of the Thanks Terry sign, and another 1m x 1m to cut black letters out of, and velcro them onto the yellow.
Figured I could save some money by reusing the material and spare letters each week, plus I could get even more organised and change the banner if we are winning etc.

This would be pretty awesome!

Patrick, my Lochy 101* banner is 1.5 metre across by 1.2 tall. I can hold it up easily on my own. I've sewn two pockets, one onto each side, which accept the 1.8metre x 16mm garden stakes I got for $12 each at Placemakers... the 1.5metres wide is the perfect width for how far my arms are apart to hold a pole in each hand...
Im probably going to go without poles, my brother is going to help me hold it up in the Zone. Makes it easier to transport as well, it will fit in my bag.

No poles though... so it's the unstiffened model.

Looks awesome Patrick.
Yay for cock jokes!
Lochy 101* is finished. With poles.
So, when are we going to hold these up? I think before the RIP Lloyd banner gets sent up the zone, but take ours down when it gets sent up. Possibly bring the Lochy 101* one back up if there is time between the big banner getting taken down and kickoff.
When he scores I reckon
Lochy 101* will be up every time Lochy scores. It will also be up when he gets his presentation, and when he runs out and when he runs back into the tunnel at half time. When he scores his third goal, to become the Nix's first hatrick scorer I think it might be a compulsory naked lap of the concourse for every one, lead by the Lochy 101* banner...
We just can't get enough, at all goals, before kick off before and after RIP, and when the team comes off at half and full time.
(just my thoughts)

Lloyd loved flags: www.nzflag.com
I just attached poles to mine, do we need to take these over to the Red Badge gate on the right side of the entrance with the Yellow Army flags to get them into the ground?

Wouldn't hurt to do so, even though you can walk straight in with the poles attached to the "Official" Phoenix flags they sell. How long is your pole? Phwooaar
