The flag needs to be in place for our last home game of the season, Southend regardless of results required.
Otherwise it was a total waste of time, effort and money by all all that contributed to it!

I think after this performance today we might as well forget about the banner.The performance today is terrible.I think they have given up.

We can add Weren't and use it next season.

Think we still have to respect the manager's wishes. Probably superstitious and doesn't like to tempt fate.

Feel for the fans who contributed to this flag and it will probably never get put up this season the way things are going. Barrow fans are good and probably those that contributed won’t mind, but what imo was such a good idea and everyone got on board, it’s a shame it was probably all in vain. Poor on the club and Kelly imo

How can you have a go at the club and Kelly we are not safe yet and he did not want up because of that and not to rub all the teams faces in it thinking we’re were when we are not yet safe end off the day

yes - we're really going to look spectacularly naff if we have a big flag that says 'Kelly's Heroes' and we go down!

I seem to remember there was a club that had a banner saying they would be in the Football League by 2022, and that came back to bite them.

Possibly aim to raise £300 and if you manage that then get some form of Scott Quigley one done as well?
I'd suggest a statue if he scores the goals to keep us up.
Make sure none of his ancestors were involved in the slave trade first otherwise it'll end up in the rezza

Just leave it with Big E and if we beat Southend on Saturday to stay up he can chuck it to the players to have photos with at the end of the game; then it can go at the back of the HS End with the other large flags permanently.
It’s really not a massive issue (and yes I contributed financially) and especially to say anything is poor from Rob Kelly after what he’s done

If you made a polite request to someone not to fill your toaster in your kitchen with peanut butter, would you feel it was up to them to accept your request?
Just put the toaster on its side. Works for cheese too

Don’t think all is lost with the flag, if the letters are detachable the H can be made in to a Z really easily.

If a flag showing fans admiration for a team and manager is going to work against them then we are doomed as the mindset of the players and manager isn’t right. That flag should have given them the incentive to stay up for the fans that think so much of them - that is my opinion anyway. A flag isn’t going to get us relegated

That's the point I made back at the start, before RK asked for it not to be placed on the terraces.
