Waterford Flags

KevIRL

Fair play to the City Council on all the Waterford flags they have put up along the ferrybank dual carraigeway, sallypark, the bridge, along the quay and the dunmore road (I believe they are on the Cork Road too). With 3 flags on each lampost it looks very impressive. So credit where its due.

Would be nice now if John Roberts Square could be festooned with flags and bunting.

I think the City Council are going to have a big screen for the game in John Roberts Square, and for the homecoming on the Monday evening.

They were putting the flags up on the Dunmore Road this afternoon. It is a sight to behold.

Fair play to them.

I must get my boys to put up our flags and bunting at the front of our house.

There's 3 on each pole on the Dunmore Road

Was on my way into work this morning and took a short cut through Larchville and what a sight I saw before me.

The flags and butings in the estate are absolutely fantastic and gave me a great boost as i faced another day in work.

The estate comes in for a lot of stick throughout the city but my god each and every person involved in this has done themselves and the area proud.

I'm bringing my kids out later to show them.

Congrats once again to all involved, brilliant and well done.

Where I live its starting to look like a competiton - who can be Mr Waterford? Someone has painted the top of thier front garden wall white/blue and got the whole flag production of China stretched out between house and said wall - in fact half the estate is done this way.

There's alot of flags up in Hillview too - even some Kilkenny ones!

It would warm the cockles of your heart seeing how well some places are decorated. It's putting a smile on my face just seeing it all.

I went out yesterday and bought even more flags from the large to small to car ones, inflatable hammers, hands, more hats, feather boas, stuff for the car,etc.

The shops were sold out of bunting but will be getting more in.

My sons are so excited about Waterford getting to the final. They were in Walsh Park the other night and got lots of signatures. My 10 year old keeps getting his shirt out and looking at the signatures. He sits back in the evenings and loves looking through his Waterford calander. He is so proud of the Waterford hurlers. These guys are his heroes.

I reckon the primary schools will get the pupils involved in decorating the schools in white and blue next week. I'll have my mindees back to me next week and I'm planning on getting them involved in finishing off decorating the house in white and blue.

I'm not originally from Waterford but I'm very excited about the whole thing. I must root out my Galway flag since we're in the minors.

There is scafolding up on Thomas St. across from Downses and its all done in the Waterford Colours. Looks nice!

The quay looks great with the flags I must say, fair play. I assume the Ard Ri will fix their lights to say "Deise" again whcih looks good!

Any objections if I merge this thread with the existing one on Waterford flags paddy1mac?

The Quay looked lovely on tv last night when the cycling race was being shown.

Apparently there was a load of white 'n blue flags and a sign saying "Waterford North" on the N25 as far as Slieverue which all went missing.

Also, Andrew St. just off Ballybricken. Saw it for the first time on my zombie shuffle to work at 5.30am... pretty cool!

anyone know where I could get a large image of the Waterford crest?


tried google but can only find small ones

looking for ~A4 size if poss

Sully

No idea - we usually just redesign it for clients when they come to us looking for Deise stuff. I think the above is slightly outdated if my memory serves me correctly. Unless you asked one of the printers inside in town - there is a lot of banners going about with the Waterford crest. If they didnt re-design it I would imagine they have a source..

From home, I run a Web & Graphic design company. Busy time of the year! We do a lot of design for print materials.

Ya good point, local businesses should really get together.

Also, I passed Larchville today - very nice. Also Ossory Drive up from Paddy Browns there is looking well.

Which has got you a Region ban.

Aquos76

That ban was really a bit harsh imo... He was only entering into a bit of banter. He also posted that he was looking forward to the game and wished Waterford luck

A post in one thread is banter. Posts in 4 threads is trolling.

So if he was already banned from here, how did he manage to post in the first place.
