Where did the money for the forza flag come from?

All I can find is a reference to a donation of £1,600 from an anonymous source.

There's also talk of having t-shirts and other merchandise, but no mention (as with the scarves, I think*) of where the upfront money's coming from or where the proceeds are going.

*Happy to be proved wrong on this point, btw.

There's something dodgy and very political about all this. I smell a small attempt at social engineering.

Does the flag and all other merchandise come with a certificate of authentication?......or can I make my own?....

All the merchandise comes with a piece of used bog roll in a frame.

And would have worked if the team was winning or even drawing, but we're losing and this has the hallmarks of a massive own goal ass kicking!

the flag idea bombed last time which again begs the question and another question chris ignored why not use the flag pasoti got and rejig if needed.

So this HUGH flag is costing £3500 and the money came from a donation from an unknown source mmmmm now if I was of a suspicious mind I might think there was something devious going on here.

still onwards and upwards eh.

Anyone want to buy a pen I know someone who has loads for sale.

Superb !

Didn't Hughie used to knock off some young bit of stuff [excuse the rather dated lingo there]? Seem to remember there was a bit of a scandal,may have involved that bozo who used to play with his organ on songs of praise or whatever it was.

I don't know but I do remember that whatever he did he did most sincerely.

At the risk of being sued for libel, wasn't he Paula Yates father?

Yer tiz,in the personal life section.Bob Geldof indirectly involved too.Jess Yates,that was the name of that guy,he used to play his keyboard to hymns in a very pious fashion.Bit of a hypocrite ,it would seem.

No risk of being sued - You can't libel the dead.

No it wasn't greenjock it was Julian Clarey.

When Rome is burning the obvious thing to do is buy more combustable material to stoke the flames. In this cas it's a flag which should burn very well if made in Taiwan.
