Flags

[spyinthesky]

Walking up to the game on Tuesday I saw at least one Asian entrepreneur (hopefully not down from that London for the day!!) selling flags for a fiver.

Decent mark up but that's not really the point.

Set me thinking how good it would be to have a sea of Saints flags at Wembley

If the club could buy in at a cost of £0.50 - £1.00 per flag and sell for £3-£4 a pop (to undercut the street traders) there could be a potential profit of 10,000 x £2.00/£3.00, enough to buy a little club down the road perhaps or 10% downpayment on another Jason Puncheon!!

After all there will be 5,000 going up by club coaches for starters

[Prince Jazzbo]

If you're talking about the fella outside the Alfred. He's been following Saints for years.

I thought the Megastore was already selling flags. I was going to pop in there before the Hartlepool game.

Ha ha, you sound like my Mum.

 

"Asians" do live outside of the big smoke you know...

haha as if anyone would be silly enough to believe that!

[Scummer]

Saints are already selling flags. They are £12 though.

Megastore is indeed selling a variety of flags starting price £5 , I bought a large JPT Final flag for my son, for £7 in shop which I thought was good value

[marc_saint]

You'll also be able to buy them on the roads leading upto the stadium on the big day.

[fish fingers]

If the people in front of me at Wembley are waving flags i'm going to set fire to them.

[RedAndWhite91]

There was a bloke selling them after the Wycombe game outside their ground, and they are also for sale on the market near the Bargate.

[Bourno]

I was surprised at how large the large ones were. Also £7 for official merchandise is good, I was expecting to pay at the very least £10.

[BadgerBadger]

I will be making my own from egyptian cotton 200 thread count quality white pillow cases and some red and white striped paint and will sell for around £48.75 exc VAT

[Saints foreva]

I've seen a few supporters wearing some nice red and white scarfs, looked in the megastore but only found one with two ugly stitched Saints badge on it - It looked terrible.

 

Anyone know where I could buy one of these?

sod the match, I want to see pretty flags :-)

 

I see that the Portsmouth News have paid for a large flag for Pompey fans to sign, maybe the Echo could do the same, but larger, and with Saints on it rather than skates. :-)

I might pop down and add some text to it myself. :cool:

I will also be making my own - out of A4 paper and twigs and will sell for 48p each

I saw him selling Saints flags and hats at the away game at Wycombe Wanderers. I think he gets in were water can't (bless him)

I too would like a cup final scarf. I bought one in the club shop and I agree the massive logo on each end is nasty. I saw a few fans with different scarves at the Huddersfield game but not sure if they're cup final ones or not. i even was sad enough to have a look on Bitterne market and there's a Saints fan on one of the football stalls that said he will hopefully get some of the "half and half" style scarves. I don't really wear colours to games but I'd like to have a decent scarf. No doubt there will be loads of stalls outside Wembley selling all that kinda stuff.

[scott_saints]

Noticed alot more people in the Northam holding scarves up when the team come out recntly.

[spyinthesky]

Its great that people intend to show their colours and certainly if the guy outside the Alfred is a local (just like Pirate Paul years ago) then fine but what irritates me a bit is the possibility of money going to some chancer from London/Liverpool etc who gives nothing back to the club

If a sold at a reasonable price it makes sense to buy Official saints merchandise

[warsash saint]

If it's the same bloke, he was taking a bit of a gamble, as he was selling them directly after the MK Dons game.

[Trumush]

There were guy's outside the ground after the MK Dons regional final selling flags for Wembley at a fiver a go.

Fair play on them having a punt on the outcome.

The fella outside the Itchen?

 

10/10 for entrepreneurial balls.

[View From The Top]

I bought my nipper a Swiss Saints flag pre-season which is currently rolled up on his wardrobe and he'll be using that thus saving me £5.

[paris]

I bought a nice one in the mgstore on Sat a mixture of Blk ,wht & red with the crest at each end,we went on to win on Sat and Tues so a good omen ...

Can we compromise on transparent flags?

[troutmask]

Ive still got a 1979 League Cup Flag. Yellow and blue. Could be resurrecting that and saving a fiver

[unionhotel]

Didn't Saints have the biggest flag in the world at one point? That would look good at Wemberley. Where is it now?

[broncoboy]

The scarves have changed in the store. They used to do ones which were just red & white. Traditional and best in my opinion.

 

Also how come we sell such JPT tat in the store. Phish poor T shirts of the thinest cotton designed by a class of five year olds.

 

When we rush out a T shirt etc you know it will be ****e./

 

Surely we could get some decent designs done locally

I'm going naked. This way, I'll save money on the tat.

[letissisgod]

I will be taking a flag I took to Fratton in 1984, red with a white stripe down the middle, unbeleivable my mum still had it tucked away in my old room, bless her. If you watch the highlights of the game you can clearly see it in the saints end - happy days !!!!

[Channon's Sideburns]

There's that big one in JJB?

 

Not that I frequent that often, seems like a drop-off shop for chavs. :-D

[Dog]

I am looking for some red & white silly string and a party pack of party poppers. I have my pink balloons on order, just need someone to blow them all up.

[solentsaint]

Saints store in West Quay are selling flags for £4

[JRM]

I will also be making my own - out of A4 paper and twigs and will sell for 48p each

 

can you upload a pic of them on here? at that price i will have 2

[Wilko]

The people, or the flags? This needs clarifying before we go any further.

And a very good lad he is too. Been following Saints for as long as I can remember.

[SuperMikey]

He was selling them before the game as well, up by that pub near the underpass!

[latter day saint]

No Air Horns?

[darren1]

No Scooters?? I was planning on having a ride on the Vespa around the stadium before the game I guess I'll have to take the car in instead.....

[darren1]

As long as you dont try to blow it yourself!

[Footballfan]

When Totton played there my Air Horns lasted less than 5 min before they were taken off me, and they would not give them back, mybe they were the first ones they got their hands one at the new ground.

If the people in front of me at Wembley are waving flags i'm going to set fire to them.

When mine is well alight It will be shoved right up your ass. :-D

Setting fire to fellow Saints fans is, imho, a little over the top...

[BarnetSaint]

I tell you one thing we are in desparate need of, and that's decent metal badges-the ones in the club shop are awful, great big things which are only really suited for kids-there used to be a bloke outside the Alfred selling them.
