loweman2 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I have posted a pic of this previously in the flags topic but thought it could do with branching out on its own a bit, I got it from the guy who used to do the odd jobs at the Baseball Ground, he was given it by the groundsman (cough cough). it spent most of its time on the Ley Stand centre roof but every now and again it appeared on the B Stand roof, it can be seen about ten seconds in on the Derby v Leeds match 1986/87 where we clinched promotion. its a truly amazing thing, Mrs Loweman2 continues to be unimpressed though ! especially when I fly it from the roof top !

Angry Ram Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 We might have covered this before but when did the Ram turn around? I love this in blue as well.. I'm going to drop Mrs Loweman2 a mail to see if she will sell it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North East Ram Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Great flag. And that view across the rooftops. Brings back great memories. I like the dark blue and white too. The all white top and socks with dark blue shirts in the mid 70s looked classy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Ram Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I thought I read (on here) the turning round of the Ram had something to do with when we played in Europe. I could be wrong mind, I was wrong once in 1982. ? I think the Ram should be facing left, sometimes change is not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on @Angry Ram you know we have covered this many times ! You have not been paying attention again have you ? the last one facing the right was the puma shirt that we left the Bbg with in 97; it faced the current way on the new puma shirt at PP. it had faced that way since Patrick swung it around in 1982; it stayed facing the right until about 1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just the kit manufacturers doing? And if so, does the club then have to change all its logos to match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inverurie Ram Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 The flag will look great on May 26th, when we are all bouncing with it, in our end, before we fling it to the players and D.C.F.C to bounce with it whilst celebrating whilst @loweman2 takes heaps of photos to get signed up, before he gets his flag back from the club. Get your flags out...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers EF. Just ‘the ram with no writing’ is my favourite way to do it. More iconic to me and ‘everyone’ knows it. Unless they’re not into football. Don’t mind which way it’s facing. One way is traditional and the other is forward facing (I think) so all good. Keep em guessing eh! All we need is a kit with no sponsor - looks better and probably sell more. If I win tonight’s lottery, I’ll sort it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that is his front door and he lived below PP somewhere in a massive showcase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
