Keep The Red Flag Flying High

Over the last few years we have received several complaints from Manchester United fans who have stated that they and their kids have been denied entry to Old Trafford due to having a flag on a stick. SEF have forwarded these complaints onto MUFC and have lobbied the club to allow them in. Last May we raised the issue with the fans forum and MUFC agreed to look into the matter. Throughout this season we have continued to lobby MUFC and we are pleased to announce that the club will allow some of these flags in, as long as they comply with the below specification.

MUFC will allow access to these flags if the pole one them is made from a hollow plastic, as shown in the above picture. The flag in the above picture was purchased from a seller outside Old Trafford and we will be passing this feedback onto the stall holders and flag manufacturers to encourage them to make these flags with plastic poles. Any flag bought that has a woodern pole, will be denied access. The MUFC gate staff and stewards have been made aware that the plastic poles are allowed.

We hope to see United supporters, especially the younger fans, with these inside the ground for the last 2 home games of the season as we celebrate Title number 20 and continue to see them next season.

Not Nineteen Forever

The new banner to replace the "19 times" ticker has gone up in the North/East quadrant in time for Sunday's game against Chelsea. The banner is 17.5 metres long and has cost us £400. This banner will be funded by fans donations and info on how you can donate towards it can be found HERE with the preferred payment method via paypal.

As per the article below, we are seeking your design ideas for a new banner to be made for the start of the 2013/14 season.

CHAMP20NS - Banner Design ideas Wanted

Everyone at Stretford End Flags (SEF) would like to congratulate Sir Alex Ferguson and the Manchester United team on becoming the Premier League Champions and achieving a record breaking 20th league title.
We are looking for banner designs to mark this achievement and seek ideas that not only reflect this 20th title, but reflect the tradition and history of Manchester United.

We will be looking to place this banner in the North/East quadrant area of Old Trafford for the start of the 2013/14 season. All design ideas will be considered and all Manchester United supporters are welcome to submit a design. During the summer, we will compile a short list of designs and a fans vote will be held to determine which banner will get made. The current spacing within the quadrant will allow for either a full length 43 metre banner to be produced, or a smaller banner that will sit alongside the existing banners.

Design ideas can be submitted via an email to JLIB_HTML_CLOAKING    Via our twitter @sef_mufc or via our facebook page STRETFORD END FLAGS FACEBOOK Ideally we would seek a full mock up design idea. The chosen banner will be produced and will be funded by fans donations.
