BrennanFan Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 just throwing this out there. I contacted the TigerCats front office and they confirmed that it was possible to rent it out, but the logistics are insane. First of all, it will cost us $2000. It cannot get dirty, must never touch the ground (washing will cost $6000). It is truly massive and cannot possibly be unfurled by just anyone. The tigercats have only ever used the air cadets to do it, as they apparently know what they are doing with large flags, and they charge $ for their appearance. It is not available on Sept 6, but would be available for the Edmonton game. However, it is too big to be shipped anywhere. It must be put in a truck and be driven to its destination. That would be on us to pay for. If this were ever to happen, we would definitely need the CSA's involvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbrad Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I'm pretty sure I'd spill a beer on it....sorry I'm just being honest. (And at $12.50 a beer I'd feel shame). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piltdownman Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I say we start paid membership and just buy our own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youllneverwalkalone Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Maybe not that big though. Sounds like more hassle than it's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seb of Mtl Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 quote:Originally posted by piltdownman I say we start paid membership and just buy our own. I agree, we should just get our own; albeit, perhaps one that is a bit smaller lol because one this big does appear to be a hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancouver Fan Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 It looks to be close to 70 yds wide. Would it even fit across the width of the end stands where the Voyageurs usually congregate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natesta Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I think it would be way too big to have in the stands, but maybe it could be suggested to the CSA that they use it and have some air cadets on the field before the game to wiggle it around during the singing of Oh Canada. Maybe even get the guy who sings it for Oilers games to perform. It would certainly get the crowd riled up I imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing FIFA wouldn't allow one flag on the pitch that is (so much) bigger than that of the visitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kungfucultmaster Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 You can get a 18 feet X 9 feet flag from this place: http://www.flyingcoloursintl.com/CanadianFlags_NyLite They make the flags that the MP's give out from their office's. Those MP flags are apparantly worth $40.00! (6 x 3) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
