February 6th 2010 see's the 52nd anniversary of the Munich Air disaster and our prayers once again turn to those who not only lost thier lives that fatal day in Munich, but tho those who survived, those who helped to rescue the victims and to the close friends and families of those closely affected to that tragic day. Lest We Forget
THE FLOWERS OF MANCHESTER
The singing of The Flowers of Manchester will take place under the Munich plaque at 2pm before the Portsmouth home game. This is only the 7th time since the tragedy that the 6th of February has fallen on a matchday and a minutes silence will take place before kick off.
The singing of the Flowers of Manchester will be conducted by Pete Martin of the folk group Hanky Park
More info can be found here as well as the lyrics to The Flowers of Manchester
http://munich58.co.uk/flowers/index.asp
If possible, you are encouraged to print off and bring along copies of the lyrics.
If possible, printing off a couple of lyric sheets and handing them out to those without would be excellent.
Please support this great tribute.
The Flowers of Manchester banner and the Lest We Forget banner will again be in place on the Stretford End, with the BABES banner now a permanent fixture above the last row of seats in Stretford End tier 2.

Following on from Roberto Mancini's promise that he will be "tearing down" the City Ticker banner and his claims that "When we go to Old Trafford, we will take that banner down", Stretford End Flags (SEF) would like to offer the opportunity for Mancini to personally take the banner down. The 28th February not only sees the day Manchester United partake in the Carling Cup Final, it is also 34 Years to the very day that Manchester City last won a trophy. To mark this occasion, SEF will be fulfilling Mancini's promise and will be taking the ticker banner down, down to Wembley that is! SEF would like to personally invite Mancini along to Wembley in order for him to get his hands on the ticker and for him to have the privilege of turning the Ticker over so its falls exactly on 34, we are even willing to provide his match ticket.
Mancini its over to you.

The votes are now in and the winning banner design has been chosen.
The design was originally portrayed in a black background, but due to the large number of black banners already on the tier, a secondary vote took place to decide on the background colour and the inclusion of the 3 stars. The winning design is shown.
"Manchester is My Heaven" is a direct quote from Sir Matt Busby, said to have been his response when offered the managers job at Real Madrid.
This banner will be the longest banner made by SEF, measuring in at 25.5metres. It will ensure that we have no visible gaps at the front of the Stretford End.
The banner is now been produced and will be in place for the home game against Burnley.
The banner has cost SEF £450 and as a result, it is vital that we continue to raise funds for future banners.
All banners are funded by YOU the fans and all donations towards future banners are welcomed (See donation page for details). |

or through the methods on the donation page.
This new banner is likely to replace the existing FEAR banner and will possiby be taken from the edge of The Flowers Of Manchester banner to the edge of the Scoreboard (At the North Stand quadrant). As a result, the banner is likely to cost in the region of £650 to make including all fire proofing which is required, so all donations are gratefully received.
Voting will last for 7 days and we will then annouce the winning design here
Option One- MAKING HISTORY, NOT LIVING IN IT (Mock up shows only part wording) - 
Option Two - Manchester Is My Heaven (Sir Matt Busby Quote) 
Option Three - Hated, Adored, But Never Ignored (Features MUFC Stickman)
