Woah if this is actually going to happen,we'd need to do it properly. I hardly ever get to go to games but would love to be involved in getting it up and running.
1) We should probably contact the club first and see if they would a) allow it in the stadium and b) Be willing to endorse it and help raise money, possibly even put something towards it.
2) Contact the Derby fan who organised their flag. Ask for advice etc.
3) Is there anywhere in Coventry that could make something of that size? Would need to contact them and get a quote from them.
4) Fanzines (Twist n'shout, any others?) would need to be contacted to get them to endorse it as well.
5) Someone very reliable would have to be the keeper of the flag and do the maintenance and cleaning etc.
6) Only then we could start fundraising for it!
There would have to be some serious support and commitment to even get this idea started. What do people think?
Would be great if this could happen but it all depends what the rules of the stadium are im guessing they are pritty strict considering are ground is owned by the Council.
View attachment 201 This was my Idea for the flag. Do you think it's any good. I want to take resposability for the fundraising of the flag and I am happy to buy it seeing as I recieved the quotes and everything. I'm going to get in to contact with the club to see if it's allowed and if it is, Me and friends will start the fundraising at the Coventry City vs. Leeds Utd game. Two of us will be by the tunnel under the railway if you wish to make a donation. If you also have an idea can you please upload it to this so we can take a look and we will make a decision on the best design and we ill send that off the the designers. If you wish to see what flags the company have previously designed please visit this website. -http://www.footballbanners.co.uk/crowd.html as this is the company I will be ordering the flag from.
Regards.
Chris.
Right so i've just had a look on GMK and it turns out they're one step ahead of us on the banner making front lol. They started a campaign around 2 weeks ago:

Nice one mate. Thanks. I think me and my mates are going to put around £10 each aswell. So thats around £150 already. We've also got an advertisement going in the Twist and Shout magazine for the Leeds game, which should bring in some revenue. At the next few games until we have raised the money we are going to be situated on the Ricoh side of the Underground tunnel towards the Tesco Arena.Hi Chris,
Great idea mate, as the gaffer of the Queens Head in Cubbington, L'spa and life long season ticket holder i am prepared to start the collection with a £100.00 donation,
I'm not really bothered who's ahead of who on this as long as we can all put the donations together and sort the flag!! PUSB
Chris how about getting somebody to collect some money on the ticket office side? People will always have some spare change when they leave there
On the design part, i'm sure we can all agree that we should had the Coventry crest in the middle. Colour wise, i guess it's going to have to be sky blue and white.
What wording do we think should be on it? Some combination of any from:
'CCFC'
'SKY BLUE ARMY'
'LET'S ALL SING TOGETHER'
'PLAY UP SKY BLUES'
Any other suggestions?

You sure your not just funding next year's lad's holiday
