Reclaim The Stretford End – Update
🇾🇪TRA have now designed & funded over 350 flags as part of the RTSE campaign and prior to the Leeds game we announced that 180 of these would be introduced into Stretford End Tier 2.
🇾🇪The Club also contacted everyone in both T1 & T2 who had a ticket for the game on our behalf, explaining that our resources are stretched to the limit and we can't do this without the help of fellow Stretford Enders, resulting in approximately 25 responses.
🇾🇪Before kick-off approximately only 60 of the 180 flags were used and at full-time over 40 were taken out of the stadium, a handful of which were recovered by stewards at the exits or Reds outside the ground. We're happy to admit some responsibility for this as we could have been clearer that the flags were not gifts to be taken home but are paid for by the fans and should therefore remain in The Stretford End for use at every game. Lesson learned.
🇾🇪Taking all of this into account, we’ve decided to remove all remaining flags from T2 and concentrate our efforts on T1 for the remainder of the season. Until we have a team of volunteers in place in both tiers that’s capable of managing such a large number of flags.
🇾🇪For the Brentford game therefore, we’ll have all flags (over 350) in T1, including the remaining waver flags and the new 18m flag that were originally intended for T2.
🇾🇪We’re working hard to ensure that T2 will again be fully involved in time for the start of the new season but this will only be possible with the help of a suitable number of volunteers up there so please keep an eye out for future communications regarding this. If you’d like to help out in T1 for Brentford and can get to Old Trafford the day before the game, you can send your details (name, membership) to info@mufctra.co.uk and we’ll be in touch nearer the game.
🇾🇪Cheers🇾🇪
