Can we have an update as to where we contribute to this. Would love to show my support, and has anyone mentioned putting "Next Stop Mars" on the banner
Malc and Mercer's Blue White Army. These two are legends. I named my pet turtles after them. It's a running theme, with my Jack Russell Bell after Colin, and hamster Bellamy!

Number four is my favourite I would like to see images of the trophies they won and the years they were won

3 is my personal favourite, but a great design eitherway!!
I too would prefer to see something more personal on the flag, i.e. one or two of their famous quotes.
With the volume of people willing to contribute I would love to see the banner up for the Arsenal game, although time is of the essence.
The following home game is the derby and I'd love to see any remaining money used for a large flag, dropped from the family stand, facing their fans. Big Mal would have loved this to wind the reds up. I like the idea from a previous flag design of Joe and Mal "Who is laughing now", however my idea is a large silhouette of the famous image of Big Mal holding up 3 fingers infront of the Stretford End.
I'll happily donate for any idea to show our love for the big man.<br /><br />-- Thu Oct 21, 2010 12:32 pm --<br /><br />
JUST FOUND OUT I WAS LIED TO!!! THE 3 FINGERS WAS FOR PALACE AT CHELSEA, ITS A PALACE THING APPARENTLY! NOW I KNOW WHY I DON'T READ NATIONAL NEWSPAPERS!!

"We won everything but the Grand National" that is a brilliant quote for a banner, especially as people are accusing us of having no history and never winning anything. Having Mercer and Alison on a banner with this quote dispells both of those myths.
The quote is also more personal to them. I appreciate The Smiths are from Manchester, but to the best of my knowledge Morrissey has no affinity with the club although I know Johnny Marr is a blue. It's a great lyric but personally I think the Grand National quote is more personal to Mercer and Alison and reflects their outstanding acheivments at the club.

Just a quick update, the banner is being made as we speak.
Sadly, due to time contraints (we wanted the banner ready for Sunday) and issues of practicality we've not been able to implement nijinsky's great designs, which is a shame, but the wording is the same and still has the picture of Mercer and Allison.
It's 15m x 1.2m, and should be up on Sunday, on Level 2 of the Colin Bell Stand.

Is there a preview we can see please Ric? And Kudos to all involved.
