New Surfer Flag

[RoverBB]

Morning all.

Hope you are all nicely on the come down from the adrenaline of 10 in a row!!

For those of you that are not on Facebook or X, I am in the process of hopefully commissioning a new surfer flag and need your support!

This design incorporates 4 key moments of DRFC - Sir Francis Teirney’s golden goal, The JPT Trophy Win, The Play Off Final win over Leeds and James Coppinger’s goal at Brentford - as well as images of supporters over the years, JR and Donny Dog. There is a read and white overlay, the club crest and the phrase “Rovers Till I Die”- I can show you any designs if you drop me a message.

With the play offs now all but confirmed, I want to move quickly with this so that, should we be heading to Wembley, this surfer could make its debut there.

Essentially the plan here is as follows, the more money we raise, the bigger the flag will be. The target is to produce a banner that is 4m x 16 m (13ft x 52ft) which would be at an approximate cost of £700.
The maximum we could go to due to size of the stand is 8m x 32m (26ft x 104m) which would be at an appropriate cost of £2600.

Any monies left over from this crowdfunder will be donated between DRFC’s Charity100 programme and a charity very close to my heart Andy’s Man Club.

Chucked in a tenner. Good luck!

[Alan Southstand]

Can we have a running total?

[Copps is Magic]

Matty, just a thought but 4 meters isn't very wide/big at all for a surfer. Hopefully can raise enough to get something bigger (I will chuck in something in tomorrow.)

[Pancho Regan]

Ditto!

[RoverBB]

4m heigh x 16m width is the benchmark we want to get to. That is approximately half of the height of the seats in the south stand.

Anything we get over, we shall increase the size where we can and donate the rest for the two mentioned charities

[RoverBB]

Can we have a running total?

Currently £150

[telfordrover]

£20.00 added up to £225.00

How and where can we donate

We dont use the surfer flags we already have, not sure why we'd need another.

I was just thinking the same - where are all the previous big flags?
Does anybody know?

Like Pancho I was wondering the same.

The ‘big shirt’ we had was brilliant.

Is it going to say Tierneys Golden Goal or just a picture of it

I only ask as the Official title was " Promotion.Goal" as in Official Programme

[telfordrover]

Big terraces at Wembley probably need a few

Exactly what I said at the game last Saturday.

Yes, the 'In Rovers We Trust' flag is in the usual place, the groundsmen's area of the stadium, along with other smaller ones.

Could the surplus funds, if any, be used for other smaller flags, flags on poles etc. Be great to get the south stand looking like a European ground for a match

There's already a collection of smaller flags in the stadium. There's just nobody that takes the responsibility of putting them out and then collecting them at the end.

That's interesting SM, thanks.
Also quite frustrating to hear!

Yes it is.

The last surfer flag we bought cost just short of £2000. I'm surprised that Matty thinks we need another one.

[Nudga]

I'll volunteer.

My understanding was the club had misplaced them? I was hoping to get the VSC one out a few times after our discussion a year back or so but alas it wasn’t in the stadium (or at least that was what I was told anyway)

Must have been a fair while back. I can’t quite remember that one

100% this - was always something I did but I don’t get to as many games as I used to these days

[RoverBB]

Thanks to everyone thus far that has donated, I really do appreciate it. It’s the first time I have organised one of these since the old days of the black bank and because we’re looking at something short notice, I can’t use my usual suppliers in Germany and Poland.

My hope is that we could have this one and the VSC one surfing at Wembley - that would be ideal!

Pity the people who know we already have all this stuff and more importantly know where it is and know it’s still usable don’t pipe up about it until someone else is proactive and takes the initiative to do something positive.

[DRFC_AjA]

Not being funny but if previous flags have either been lost or are in storage and not used then why ask for another? I gave money to the previous one - was it black bank barmy army or something - and will also give to this. But you're telling me we've got flags and banners already that could be used but aren't? Viva rovers, the one call insurance giant kit.

[Nudga]

Let's just get them all out for home leg.
