Guys and Dolls...

I am looking to raise funds to possibly have a huge flag made for next season (when fans are allowed back in and hopefully at the Ricoh). The Flag would be to show appreciation for the work completed by Robins,

Can I please encourage supports to join the effort by either donating (there is a just giving page) or submitting design ideas..

Having looked onto the costs online , It wont be cheap, for a 10m by 6m it could cost anything up to £1300.00
I hope i'm not breaking any rules by posting here

many thanks

You need to get permission of the club first, otherwise they will remove it as a fire hazard but I'm happy to contribute if you get it autorized and we're back at Ricoh.

I'm keen on the idea and the actual design but no so keen on the slogan. He wasn't 'sent' to Coventry was he. How about something like 'Thank You Mark' or 'Our Saviour'. I'm sure others can come up with better suggestions than mine.

Why not have it 2 TONE black and white squares on each side and white in the middle with Robins holding the league 1 trophy, when it happens

I love the idea but have to say, I don’t like the flag. Not sure “sent to Coventry” commemorates him really? What about just “Robins is our king”

Edit - should’ve read the full thread first lol. I’ll donate

Good stuff guys and I love the emerging ideas. Happy to chuck some cash in. Brainstorming.... for me something to do with worship...king...ressurection...rising from the ashes etc. and must be something unique and distinctive. Really sorry but against.... In Robins We Trust..... way too Arsenal like. We have some very creative people on here....

Something based on the 2-tone programme would work.

My slogan ideas:
1) Made in Manchester. Adored in Coventry.
2) Taxi for Robins - To the Pub!

Love the general design of the flag and the robins thing but this “Robins is our king” thing is cringey as fuck in my opinion. He’d probably cringe looking at it too.
Also worth thinking if we are about to drop two grand on a flag do we want it to say league 1 champions and therefore putting a bit of a time limit on it? Maybe, just a thought.

So yeh just my opinion but steer clear or any king or saviour rubbish....Mark Robins’s sky blue army or something or even just “Pump it up” haha

Two tone is great, has its place but the flag should be Sky Blue in my opinion
Happy to contribute when the design is complete.

My tenpence worth

I like "Sent to Coventry." Well known phrase up and down the country. It does have some negative connotation though, so why not a simple play on words.

"Heaven sent to Coventry"



And give him a halo.​
