Following the good news of Tarky signing his new deal, he sent us this video.

Tarky has kindly donated a signed shirt to us to raffle, to help generate more funds for our flags. The raffle for this will be out later today.

Thanks very much Tarky!

So there are a couple of issues there, one being the position of the away end, also we don't have storage down there yet, all of the flags have to be stored in the South Stand. We're on it though!

So we got everything out & basically even those ones are too small to make an impact, we will be able to use them within a display but they've gone from being a main feature and impactful to being tiny in the context of the stand! A few more bits arrived this week, will update everyone ASAP!

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone for your messages over the last few days, we have been going over a lot this week in the group and are working on getting a plan in place now that we know properly what we are up against! We are eager to get our first display sorted for as soon as possible

We've been doing our displays for the last 2 seasons at Goodison, to be honest we've never considered Manchester United's displays so not really sure what yours are like. We're in regular communication with a number of other supporters groups though

The1878s @the1878s.bsky.social · 19d

Thanks Pete, we're working on a few things at the moment and will be giving further updates over the coming days. The biggest issue is the sheer scale of the South Stand, we don't want to do anything that doesn't do it justice so trying to work out costings /sizes we need, it's a whole new level!

The1878s @the1878s.bsky.social · 20d

We are disappointed that we are not yet able to do a display at our new home but hopefully in a few months this will be possible.

Thank you 🔵⚪️🟡

The issue we have is, we currently don’t have the funds to get what is needed to make this happen any time soon. We are currently awaiting some signed memorabilia from the club to be able to raffle off and raise more funds to be able to get the flags that we need.

🔹🔹DISPLAY POSTPONED 🔹🔹

On Saturday the group went to Hill Dickinson to test all of our flags.

Unfortunately with the amount we have compared to the size of the stand, the group would not be satisfied going with what we’ve got and putting on a display for the Spurs game in October as we wished.

Had another look at Discord.

Think it will be difficult to generate enough participation with a general interest (BlueSky/X/Insta works for this)

But to coordinate volunteers and atmospherics across all BMD stands/sections - it could really help. Looking at you @the1878s.bsky.social

Mike Gow 高英智 @mikeygow.bsky.social · Jun 26

Looking at setting up a Discord server to connect #EFC STH and OMs for better matchday experience networking.

Anyone interested?

For #Everton fans to get to know new matchday neighbours, help with atmosphere, arrange meet ups etc

Channels by stand/section

i.e. Lower South 003; Upper East 220 etc
