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!

Ours will be a different class compared to theirs. ;)

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

What's the point ?

I hope this is a piss take?

Is there anything you won't do for a bit of self promotion? (winky)

Nope.

I don't see the point in deliberately scattering rubbish around a football ground just for a few seconds of going "wow..... look at that confetti"

It doesn't do anyone any harm throwing confetti and balloons about just creates an atmosphere for the fans.

Like it

Me and Alex Alex Cropley tried something similar at Loftus Road many many years ago ( last game of the season, mass Villa fans' conga on the pitch, crossbars snapped in half etc).

We were in the QPR end and had pockets full of claret and blue confetti to chuck as the players walked out. Well, it was't confetti, you couldn't get claret and blue confetti in those days, we used a hole punch and spent days before the game punching little dots out of pieces of claret and blue cardboard.

Any road up, the players walked out, we got our "confetti" out, chucked it in the air just as El Nino piped up and blew the fucking lot over the roof of the stand before a single dot made it to the pitch......

I wish that bog-roll throwing was still allowed. Clean bog roll, of course. Would look fantastic

 ;D Luckily the wind conditions were right for us on Saturday!

Ours was homemade as well, one of the lads still has the blisters to prove it!

I was near the front of the lower tier and didn't even notice this.  Was it in the upper tier?

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.
Wouldn't bother with handing out balloons as when the club tried to reintroducd it 2 years ago i took 200 claret and blue balloons to VP and handed them out around my seat in the Trinity Road only about 30 of them were blown up.  Think the fuckers just pocketed them for the kids or something.
