| Quote ="Tony Stark"Quote ="SomersetSaint"Well this is all aimed at our young teenage supporters after all. Can't believe anyone old enough to legally drink a pint would be in the least bit impressed with all this talk of brigantes and vigilantes and whatever other thrilling names these kids like to be known as. It's just a way to appeal to the geeky youths who would otherwise be playing war games or spotting trains'"
What is exactly?
Its just a flag at the end of the day, like the many that adorned the back wall of the popular side at Knowsley Road for years? There are several more designs in the pipeline that will hopefully add even more colour to the existing ones and as the flag above hints at, help to provide a link to the club's past as it moves into its new home.
I appreciate there was talk of an 'Ultra's' type group on here and Redvee a while back, which was (perhaps rightly) derided and criticised by many because of both the tag used and the inevitable link to the 'Brigantes' over at Wigan. However, reading between the lines, I suspect that the sentiment of most of those involved (or in favour of the idea) was more to do with helping to see the return of the old atmosphere of 'the scaff' after a season at Widnes that saw the various vocal groups and individuals that had previously congregated on the popular side spread sporadically across the three stands at the Stobart. It has been acknowledged that the use of the term Ultras was somewhat misleading/misguided.
Back to the main point though, the flags at Saints are there for the enjoyment, benefit & in many cases recognition of everyone involved in the club - whether that be the supporters, the team as a whole, or for individual players & important figures at the club like Eamonn.
Non of the planned new flags are efforts at self-promotion nor are an attempt to create a 'brand'.
The design, manufacture and purchase of flags & banners is not exclusive to, or governed by any one particular group. However if someone does have an idea for a new flag but doesn't know how to go about creating or buying one, then there are a number of friendly people in the Saints community with experience and contacts that can offer advice and help, as well as provide a means (hopefully) for their flag to get displayed alongside the others.'"
Where were you when I was trying to explain the 'Ultra St Helens' thread on redvee a while back?
Stick it on there! One read of this and everybody would've been on board,
Quality post!  |

As I understand, it is being corrected accordingly.
Great flag though! |

| Quote ="justarugbyfan"Way off the mark. The majority of the Brigantes support is youth (ages range from around 16-40 odd I imagine) however I can't really think of any 'geeky youths' who take part. And after all, if a 'geeky youth' wants to get involved and generate atmosphere is there any reason why they shouldn't be allowed?
And the name of the group refers to a Roman tribe who once occupied the town. At least the Brigantes are trying to do something to generate an atmosphere instead of those who sit around behind a computer criticizing others.'" Incorrect. Brigantes were a Celtic tribe in pre-Roman Britain. Try and be factually accurate at the very least. |

I always thought the Brigante tribe covered Yorkshire too
Quote The Brigantes were a Celtic tribe who in pre-Roman times controlled the largest section of what would become Northern England, and a significant part of the Midlands. Their kingdom is sometimes called Brigantia, and it was centred in what was later known as Yorkshire. Ptolemy lists the Brigantes also as a tribe in Ireland, where they could be found around Wexford, Kilkenny and Waterford[1 while another probably Celtic tribe named Brigantii is mentioned by Strabo as a sub-tribe of the Vindelici in the region of the Alps'"
