Pick whatever you want for me mate, just want to make sure you've got a graphic designer making them up and they're not being done on Paint or something.

I think Ben is looking at the place in Skem who produced the JW with the Premiership Trophy flag which is ace quality.

One of them will definately show off our proud history - this has been suggested both on here & social media.

Another suggestion has been blue and white halves with a Lancs rose in the middle, either that or the club badge...

Open to further suggestions and designs

Both sound bob on to me Ben.

This one seems to be popular... was posted on a Rovers Facebook page following suggestions. Any thoughts?

Excellent idea with the Small Town logo, sums up what we are about in my opinion. The old Third Division Champions Trophy from 1975 isn't on the silhouettes of the other trophies.

Absolutely brilliant!

[AndyNeil]

I like the principle of it, although would ditch the non descript buildings from the bottom and have the text in blue...

[Mike Graham]

I agree with Andy. As someone not too familiar with Blackburn town I could only name a couple of those buildings

Could maybe instead include pictures of Ewood Park or the JW statue - or maybe even JW lifting aloft the trophy.

However, I'm artistically challenged so I'll leave it to the experts! Looks good to me though,.

Flag looks good. The black text has to be blue.

Not sure on all the buildings, is that the ice arena on the left?!

I'd just go for real blackburn buildings, with Ewood in the middle.

Town Hall, Thwaites(?), Ewood, Cathedral, King Georges.

Also text needs to be in the badges font: http://deltafonts.com/blackburn-rovers-f-c-font/

[Mike E]

Anyone think we should include our Lancs Cups on there?

Either way, think it's brilliant. Echo the idea above of the writing in blue below the rose instead of buildings.

Like the idea, but the flag would have to be huge to see the the details.

Why not just:

6 x FA Cup Winners

1x Premier League Win

Etc...

Then at the bottom: "The most successful town club in the world"

I don't think we need the 'small town' part, I think thats a bit negative, and Id have the current badge, not the red rose.

The right message is "Most successful Town Club in the World"....looked this up years ago and its absolutely accurate.

Hope all those commenting have either donated or are about to add to the total. We want an internet warrior free thread...try saying that!

Lets go for a 3rd flag cos often you only get one bite at this.

Well said mhead. Let's go for flag number 3 and use your words on that flag.

Can they do us a deal on the third flag? If we're chucking two flags at that let's hope they'll do yours as a freebie, is there any top tier stand it could be left draped across?

Love it mate. No need for bulidings on a football flag, every Town has some nice buildings. We want cups and the above wording.

I thought the Uncle Jack programme from this season with his face printed in blue against a white background was superb, that would make a great flag. Funnily I was taking some pics of an old phone the other day and my screensaver was the big halved flag with the badge in the middle being passed across the BBE, great stuff.

[mhead]

Can you imagine a relatively thin and long banner saying:

MOST SUCCESSFUL TOWN CLUB IN THE WORLD

cup cup cup cup cup cup cup cup cup cup cup cup

Needs to go on a stand fascia like Tottenham's messages.

We have 12 Cups,next town Club has only 5. We are 12th in English League, with Wolves and Forest just above us(they are Cities)

[Lancaster Rover]

Some of the ideas being forwarded here should be put to Myers, et al. The honours around the fascia boards is a fantastic idea, I'd go one further and fill the concourses with that sort of stuff.

They can start with the blank parts on the JW stand (DE side) as I've already suggested on here and by email to Myers.

Any bare space is a waste of space.

[Mike Graham]

It would be great if we could have banners and flags permanently hung along the inside of the sides of the BBE. These would be separate from the flags that Ben-2000 is ordering.

What about Sunderland? They have more than 5.

Edit- didn't realise they are a city, just checked.

Very generous indeed! Yes I think the fundraiser can continue beyond its target!

I spoke to the club about this or providing one of their own along with reduced prices for the Huddersfield game, I'm told they are looking into it

Delighted to say the club are right behind this initiative and have slashed prices to £10 adults & £2 kids. Well done to the club, particularly Greg Coar & Alan Myers!
