    It will be like a watching the movement of a Swiss watch.

    Why not just unravel from top of lower kop in the middle then just place cards where needed

    New instructions with the flag and cards.
    Ths stadium announcer will do the prompting and he will give the prompt to raise the cards when the flag is in position.
    Sorted.

    Now you've added another element to the process, my old man is probably going to collapse in a heap due to the stress of it. Might be best not to make him drink less but actually make him drink more so he is oblivious.

    Well what did you think to the flag bit?

    Watched them trying to figure out which way up the flag was for about 10 minutes before ditching the original plan and eventually dragging it to the front of the kop and hauling it on from there.

    Not seen any pics of it yet but I assume it looked good?

    Fair dos to the City vent lads for trying to create atmosphere, but I hope we don’t have them cards again. Spent most the game dodging paper airplanes and some scroat threw one with force at an old man and you could see he was shook up, plus all the scruffs chucking them on the pitch like Leeds scum. Hope to not see them again, some of our ‘fans’ and such displays don’t mix.

    Club fine incoming surely the tifo cards will be construed as missiles encroaching the field of play,.
    I also think there will be an investigation into the ridiculous flare throwing by Doncaster fans at the full time whistle.
    Other than that hat's off to the City Vent lads, great effort and very colourful.

    On the contrary, if they investigate paper aeroplanes, then they cannot avoid investigation of pyros. Security at turnstiles is crap for these to be brought into the ground. CCTV will find them at the end of the day.

    Hope city vent pay city's fine for the paper balls thrown onto the pitch
    The so called stewards just stood there & watched and did nothing they are a waste of money and might as well not be there
    As for vent great flag keep it going but nothing else that can be used as missiles

    The display looked good, at best, when all cards were aloft, however;

    1) the timing was way off, block b in the kop lower had theirs raised first, and for a while, before any other block had theirs raised. Perhaps a suggestion for any future displays would be to print ‘lift when players step out of tunnel’ on the back.

    2) the kop was probably 80-85% full, so there were noticeable gaps, especially in the blocks to the far left and right. A future suggestion may be to only have such displays when we have a full sell out anticipated, or at least 96-97% of the stand full.

    All in all I’d say it was a good visual and added to the atmosphere positively on the whole.

    Whilst it was harmless paper, fell right into Donny’s hands nevertheless. The keeper just made a meal of picking it all up.
