    Semi Final Display

    After a fantastic victory against Kilmarnock, Section 43 have been planning a display for the Semi Final at Hampden against Falkirk. Most of you will be aware that we carried out two displays at Hampden last year and we are looking to deliver another eye catching display in April.

    The previous displays would not have been possible without donations from you, the Hibernian support. Although all our members contribute financially on a regular basis, the reality is that our small group of 25-30 cannot fund this single handily.

    To allow us to turn Hampden into another sea of green, please dig deep and support the cause. We are finalising the pricing for this display and are happy to share the total costs to keep you all updated. As with any of our displays, this one will again be related to Hibernian Football Club.

    Many thanks in advance. We look forward to joining you all in supporting our club to the final.

    PayPal – section43hibs@hotmail.co.uk

    Please PM for Bank account details.

    Cash donations also welcomed at home matches. You all know where we are located.

    I dont want to sound like im having a pop as i love what you guys do But wondered what the costs of a semi display would add up to (by cost i mean outlay thats never seen again not like the cane flags in the east that get gathered back in and re-used) and what a final display would cost ?.

    The reason i ask is are we/you wasting money on throw away items such as card as opposed to "Investing" in bigger permanent flags and banners that could be used on Big match days for years to come? as much as i dislike that minging mob and wasnt actually keen on their cup final flag (and as much as i loved the SOL Card Display) in these lean financial times i just wonder did they get the better investment for their money?

    As i said just a few thoughts and i love what you guys do Keep The Faith

    Over the last 18 months we have obtained a lot of permanent stock. Banners, flags, wavers, surfers, drums etc that will continue to be used.

    For Hampden, due to layout of it, we are looking to do a large surfer (size of a section at Hampden) and card with the rest. The exact details will not be disclosed yet. Card is a one off and cannot be reused. For 5000 pieces of A2 card this costs approx £800. The banner will be handmade for £3-400.

    Hearts 'flag and streamers' cost £8000. Yes, eight grand! We do things different from that mob by ensuring our surfers are handmade. Takes a lot of time and effort, but you save a hell of a lot of money.

    You guys do an absolutely fantastic job at creating a wonderful atmosphere at Easter Road and the displays last year at Hampden were absolutely first class! We may have been beaten on the park in the final but we certainly won off it with the SOL display!

    More than happy to make a wee donation towards putting on a display at hampden again. Have you asked the club about doing another bucket collection outside ER on match days?

    Great work guys. I was wondering if there had been any contact with the club to see if they'd be prepared to do a £1 for £1 matching scheme?

    So say I give you a fiver the club agree to put a fiver to the collection too?

    I think you're doing a great job and I'm very happy to donate. However, after you tried out various things last year I think the flags were by far the most successful. They really enhanced the atmosphere whereas the cards are a real hassle and in my opinion don't add to the atmosphere. It stops you being able to see and applaud you're team onto the park and its gone in a flash. At least with the flags, they can last the whole game and could be taken home for use another day.

    Hope you don't take any offence to my view but just trying to give some feedback from me and others I've heard talking about it.

    Carry on the good work though.

    Alright mate, I gave you guys twenty quid for stickers just before the Hibs Hearts cup final and I keep forgetting to collect them from you (always too blootered!). Do you just fancy putting my twenty towards your display?

    I agree, thought the card display, especially the SOL looked amazing but think flags are the best way to go because as you said, they can be used through out the game and on other occassions.

    As i mentioned though, great job sect 43 keep up the good work guys

    I like the card displays. Ours and Aberdeens displays in last years semi were fantastc and in my opinion better than flags

    What's wrong with just throwing 5,000 toilet rolls when the teams come out (in streamer fashion)?

    Simple, effective and cheap

    I'll be chippin' in a tenner.

    The two displays last year were fantastic.

    5000 flags would cost well into four figures.

    The Crabbies flags last year cost then 75p per flag I believe. £15k+
