In your bedroom maybe?

There is loads of room in the Golf Road for flags.

Not sure if it is possible but how about a plain red flag with the Alty Crest in the middle or slightly raised so that you could put some writing at the bottom, maybe "Alty FC".

This would be something different to what we have already.

already enquired about this in the past. due to the complex nature of our crest it would cost £200 (just for the crest before you even start designing the flag)

good flags are based on something to do with the clubs history or a clever play on song lyrics that have a connection to the area, just a suggestion.

In honour of our local administrative area, perhaps a flag with the Trafford motto would go down well:

"Hold Fast That Which Is Good"

Or

To celebrate one of our most lyrically adventurous songs the flag could contain the words:

"We're Alty, we're f**king Alty"

Either would look spot on IMO.

Well it has to be this logo if you ask me:-

  PART TIME
       AND
PROUD OF IT

Place it on a St Georges

Part on top left square
Time on top right sqaure
And in the middle of the flag on the cross
Proud on bottom left sqaure
Of on the red lower part of the cross
It on bottom right sqaure

St. George's Cross is a vastly inferior flag to the Union Flag. I'd say stick with a red block with white writing if a club crest is too expensive.

I doubt many people in England would agree with you.

St Georges all the way for me.

Come on mate, it looks like a naked Union Flag. Plus the Union Flag is a world-recognised symbol of the United Kingdom, St. George's Cross just causes foreigners to look slightly confused as to why we're using the same flag as Catalonia and Georgia.

Whilst I appreciate the Union Flag looks more interesting the St Georges cross I guess it is all about how patriotic you are. You certainly wouldnt take a Union Flag to an England game, it would get burnt.

As an alternative how about Red with a single white wide stripe in the middle so that all three panels are the same size.

Then either put writing in the middle white bit or a slogan with three words.

Another thing I like which I think looks mint is a long flag so it covers a barrier. Perhaps red at the top then white in the middle and red at the bottom. That way "Part time and proud of it" can be written in one long sentence along the white bit. This would look class I think and can hang over the a barrier on the Golf Road or up on the back of the stand along the back.
