Confetti Display @ Sheff Utd
« on: January 12, 2011, 12:22:14 PM »
Just a big thanks to all who participated, Below are posted a few pics and a video of what is really our first display as such. We did have our group banner and 7 large flags rejected by the Stewards at Brammall Lane do to fire safety in a non-smoking stadium ::)

Once again thanks for the help of the fans around us and hopefully the next display will be bigger and better!

Can you get them fire-proofed?  Think they give you a cerificate to say they're safe if you do it.

Looks good though.  Keep up the progress

Cheers!

We are looking into fire proofing the fabrics, but it is costly and raising money is a bit of a problem as we only have badges for sale at the moment and they have slowed down now! So if anyone knows of a company that does fireproofing and might be able to do us a deal please get in touch!

We are always on the look out for an artistic Villa fans out there who might be able to help with the design and production of banners/displays, again please get in touch!

Well done lads, good to see positivity like this.

I remember the balloons back in the day, always a great sight at away grounds.

I like the confetti approach, and it is relatively cheap to get lots of claret and blue paper. It's also easy to sneak into a lot of the grounds. I think if every fan took two hand fuls of confetti to every game it would would look rather good.

Littering another team's stadium is not something I agree with.

What's the point ?

Sorry you don't agree with it.

To bring a bit of colour and fun to the terrace.

Same here, its wastes valuable energy that could be used smashing up the toilet block.

This has completely passed me by ... and I was in the Upper tier at Bramall Lane. Anyone care to summarise what this is all about.
And, yes, in the day the balloon era was fantastic at its height.

We handed out 200+ bags of confetti which were thrown into the air as the teams emerged, next we'll be looking at much larger amount (but that's for a later date!)

Yeah balloons look good but cost! Hopefully in future we can do a display with balloons.

Keep up the good work, thought it looked good, and even better on a larger scale.

Great stuff, both the positivity and making an effort. Every congratulation for this. When the flags and banners are up and running, does it mean however that we won't be able to slag the bindippers off for their their own? The only downside as far as I can see!
