What happened to the Tifos?

Couldn't find what happened to the old flags on looking back. Does anyone know what happened and if we could get them for the first game of the campaign?

I believe they are in a bag in Lansdowne but since communication between ybig and the fai have broken down in recent years we havent been able to find them.

Maybe one of our friends from the confederation came help us locate them

Some of them disappeared from Lansdowne. Think most of them are still there.

Why haven't they been taken out? Trying to remember the last time something like was brought out

Danger here, OH NO

It was one of the things brought up in the now infamous JD meeting, I'd imagine if we approached them now on it they'd be receptive, not sure the place to start mind.

Bosnia was the last game any display was arranged I think.

I'm the gaffer whatever I say goes.

They used to be kept in a box in the aviva that we got access to early match day. They should still be their never heard of any more going missing (last game we had them wad Bosnia playoff)

Biggest reason they were stopped was lack of help around sorting them before games etc used to be the same 4 or 5 of us doing it every game

I for one, always wanted to help and I nearly always held one, but getting down early was problematic. If it's onerous, maybe could be just sought for one or two bigger games of the campaign. Definitely added something to the SS atmosphere.

IIRC some people used to be giving about them momentarily obscuring their view

I work just off Merrion Square and always take a half day for home games. Would be willing to help with any set up

Those people shouldnt be in the singing section but in a moany hole section of the ground

Would it not be handier if people were given a tifo or 2 and for them to take it to every game? Would save lads meeting up early to organise it. I would certainly have no problem carrying one to all the home games. If it’s a case of them going missing then just give them to a few on here who go to every game.
