Despite the anguish of defeat in the European Cup Final in Rome last week, on reflection the 08/09 season was a great success for all at United and many a drink will be raised this summer to toast our 18th league title.
Last years '08 achievements paved the way for the inspiration behind the European Capital of Trophies banner that graced the front of the Stretford End since January.
We are now looking for YOUR ideas for a banner to be in place for the start of the 09/10 season, this could feature a great slogan from the history of Manchester United, pay tribute to the legends that are Scholes, Giggs and Neville or commemorate our 18th League title. YOUR ideas are what makes SEF work and banner designs can be submitted in the Flag design forum. Whilst we do prefer full mock up's of designs, the less creative can simply submit text ideas. If you haven't signed up on the forum, it only takes a minute and all contributors are welcome, the forum also acts as a friendly community for Utd related debate.
SEF rely on not just design ideas from YOU the fans, we also rely on your financial donations in order to fund new banners, TIFO flags and other fan initiatives aimed at improving the colour and atmosphere within Old Trafford. There are two ways in which you can donate - Paypal donations can be made to the paypal account

As the European path progresses SEf will also be seeking ideas for other initiatives such as mosaics. SEF members designed the idea for this years European Cup Final which paid tribute to Sir Matt Busby, an image of the mosaic in Rome can be seen below

As previously mentioned, SEF submitted a design for a mosaic for the Champions League final in Rome on the 27th May, this design has now been approved by Manchester United and will be laid out in Rome for the final. The design of the mosaic was constructed from ideas submitted by SEF members on our flag forum. Manchester United are funding the production of this mosaic and SEF would like to thank MUFC in supporting our idea, allowing SEF to divert funding towards new banners, tifo's and future projects.
SEF have supplied a team of volunteers who will be in Rome on the Tuesday and Wednesday laying out the mosaic, along with representatives from Philosophy Football.
The eve of the final (26th May) would have marked the 100th anniversary of the birth of Matt Busby, who became manager of Manchester United in 1945 and was seen by many as the architect of the modern Manchester United. We will celebrate his memory with our 16,000-sheet mosaic showing
his portrait and the words ‘FOR SIR MATT’.
The mosaic will be raised as the teams emerge from the tunnel and SEF hope that the mosaic will inspire the team, lift our fans here and back home, and will be seen by the hundreds of millions watching this game across the world.
A mock up of the mosaic in the stadium is shown here.

FOR SIR MATT

SEF would like to congratulate Sir Alex and the team on reaching a successive European Cup final and wishes the team all the best in Conquering Rome and beating Barcelona.
SEF have submitted a design idea for a mosaic that we hope will commemorate the 100th Birthday of Sir Matt Busby. As many of you know, Sir Matt would have celebrated his 100th birthday on the eve of this years final and we consider that it would be fitting to mark the occasion in this manner.
To date, we have not received confirmation of whether the design has been approved or will work on the Stadio Olimpicos' seating plan. Once we have confirmation, details will be posted here.
The pic below shows the SEF mosaic on the Stretford End from this years Semi Final against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
