Title: Black Bank - Flag Day is Back

Flag Day is back!

Do you remember when John Ryan called for a ‘sea of flags’ at Belle Vue and the Donny public responded? Well, the Black Bank want to re-live that spirit and are calling on all Rovers supporters to bring any waving flags they have collected over the years (e.g. Southend, Wembley, Cardiff) to the Crewe game on Saturday and contribute the atmosphere.

Following the ‘Black Bank Friday’ there is an ongoing ticket swap scheme which allows people to swap their tickets for a seat in the Black Bank this Saturday. Many have already tasted the atmosphere and are now looking for a permanent transfer! If you are unable to bring a flag of your own then fear not because the Black Bank has a (new) stock that will be distributed on match day. All that is asked is that they are waved high and proud before the game and during breaks in play (and returned at the end of the game).

We are the 12th man. Let’s get the Keepmoat bouncing every home game

Black Bank.

(Please be aware that flags may be inspected by a steward upon entry to the ground)

I look forward to a great flag-fest and a cracking atmosphere on Saturday.

I'll see if I can dig out one from my old collection.
