After the wonderful initiative of handing out all the MelbourneFC flags to supporters over the past few weeks, i was amazed at how few i saw waving at the Dome yesterday, particularly considering the beautiful sight at the G on Queens Birthday with all the 'walk to the G' flags. It was a horrible feeling watching the hundreds of flags the toiges fans were waving, compared to the measly supply of red and blue ones. Maybe I missed quite a few (i was sitting on level 3 slightly to the left of the cheer squad) however it did look quite bare on the wings and the rest of level 3.
Perhaps we can issue some small/midsized flags instead of pens for members next year? Scarf and a flag? It's a much more visual way of showing your support and supporting the boys on the day that it really matters (gameday), and not only would it be much more inspiring looking at a sea of red and blue in the stands for the players, it would also make it much more exciting for the spectators (and dare i say drag a few more people to the grounds wanting to share in the atmosphere).
Where did they all go?
(PS mine is currently wedged in the tv cabinet to remind all and sundry that this is Demon territory).
