Brilliant Mal. So proud he’s our player. That flag definitely needs raising against Bradford. Whoever’s looking at getting it, let the less tech savvy (me) amongst us know how we can chip in.

If it is too expensive it might be a nice idea for the club to use a couple of small Indian flags for the entrance where the mascots wave the Stags flags.


I'll definitely chip in. If people are keen, we could show our appreciation for the diversity of our playing staff and our stance on inclusion over prejudice with some other similar flags for other players. We don't have to wait for them to be racially abused to do this. All of them will have experienced racism in football in one form or another and it'll be nice to show them that we don't tolerate it.

Great work Stoney!

Don’t get folk like that, weren’t there an element of Mansfield fans aiming things at him (or indirectly as having a song about Asians) at West Brom last year?

Folk like that are raspberry, I don’t understand them - the only benefit I gain from them is they make me feel greatful im not that stupid or ignorant

Unfortunately Barmy Flags have still not been back in touch with me.

Is there any other flag companies people would recommend?

Mal dealt with it brilliantly. Hope the culprit is dealt with swiftly by the law.

Also like how the reporter referred to him as Sir Mal in her tweet.

Where do we contribute towards the cost? Time is running out for the flag to be ready for next Saturday.
