Wonder what has happened to the superb large MFC banner that was displayed on our final home game last season.

I think I'm correct in saying that we've only seen it once which is a shame as it certainly added to the home end excellent atmosphere and similar opposition banners are often seen on away days.

Maybe it could come out of its hibernation v Accy....

FYI - the banner was commissioned by the Shrimps Trust - and produced by Watford supporters Trust thanks to the connections that were in place between the two societies. It was on display in the seating section throughout the period where the ground was closed to spectators during the lockdown/Covid-19 season.

It is a great flay I must say ( ) - even if the club has had two additional crests since it was made (not known by me at the time!). It was designed to primarily be on display on the away terrace when away followings do not merit opening this section of the ground.... it should cover from the top of the away terrace, to the front barrier - covering the middle section behind the goal in its entirety. 'Unfortunately' it has not seen much use since fans returned, because that section of the ground is now required to house paying customers.

It is a 'surfer' and has had one outing as such vs Sunderland last season - hopefully it will return when the weather improves in the new year; This will require volunteers to roll it out and put it away afterwards.... which is a job in itself.

My thanks to RRW for that info.

Does seem a pity that it can't be used on a regular home basis but it does need bodies to roll it out and then put it away afterwards.

Volunteers...anyone....

Surely if other clubs (ie Accy) can get some helpers to display theirs then we can....if only I was a wee bit younger.....

Who wants to see it at the Accy home game?
I think we should do something special for that day. Just remember the Accrington flag earlier on in the season.
