I don’t understand though. I’m sure within an hour you could raise the funds necessary to buy a new banner, so why wouldn’t you do that?
Nobody’s doing any slagging off. I just think it is a bit sad that a group who have done so much to improve the SJP atmosphere would give up just because some Essex lowlifes have nicked a banner. Surely disbanding the RL is letting them win?I don't recall i8cornwall throwing any sort of tantrum. He's explained his view and his principle and whilst i don't fully understand it i respect it. Maybe others doing all the slagging off could step in and make the effort to compensate for the loss of the RL?
So you respect Colchester for nicking your banner?Guys it’s how it is. You can be perplexed but that’s how it works. RL was only decent because it was done properly, that includes sticking by how the scene works. Research it and you’ll find your answers. We’re not going to be like Motherwell and carry on after their flags were bumped by Hamilton, it’s a respect thing.
FBH with respect we were never an official organisation, did everything off our own back and had many pelters throughout the time we existed as a group. We are/were under no obligation to do anything. We are normal paying fans. The amount of time and effort to sort a group like that is massive, the flags are there at the club in storage for anyone to use at any time.How are you respecting the many fans that paid you money to enable all the flags to be purchased?
Plus putting up with some sh*te criticism from some fans because the RL were, quite rightly, boycotting the EFL Trophy games.FBH with respect we were never an official organisation, did everything off our own back and had many pelters throughout the time we existed as a group.

One thing I will not miss is being critiqued as if I’m part of the coaching staff when in reality I’ve sacked off better things to paint a display or left the pub 2 hours early to set something up whilst my hands fall off from the cold. Yes it’s my choice but it’s also mine and others choice not to do those things. As any other fan.
Not particularly, I wasn’t aware they had a switched on group however fair figs for giving it a go and taking it. I’d had concerns in the past about that happening, Lincoln was one who have a sizeable group... however they were penned in St Anne’s in the end...So you respect Colchester for nicking your banner?
(Oh, sorry, stealing is called ‘bumping’ now is it?)
