decorating the Crown - Page 2

I think the shirts and scarfes etc should be kept round the pool table section.....Maybe some nice framed shirts round the front/side along with some good big pictures.

Dont think we can put loads and loads up it'll start to look a bit tacky....the shirts will look better round the back near the pool table.

agree with smiffy you don't want it looking like the york hotel

nice one Jimbo,

Jimbo decorates the Crown all by himself!!!

Smiffy, the shirts should go along the ceiling out of reach of grubby, souvenir hunting liberators! Very slightly billowed and covering the pool room onwards until we run out of shirts. Tacky or not, its about creating a timeline of Stanley history for people to point at and reminisce about such and such a player who wore such and such a shirt.

When we have enough shirts collected in we'll get some steps out and see how they look in a variety of ways eh? I'll staple - you pull pints?

most people can reach the pool room roof though especially with the pool cues

does it have to be stanley shirts though ? although I live down here, go and watch stanley as often as possible I still go watch my other team

...of which I have plenty of old tops and scarves from years gone by ...dont worry its not rovers or burnley...

I think the shirts need to be Stanley as it is a Stanley memorabilia pub, but it can look good with other stuff as proved with the old collection of scarves.

And we have one scarf to start the collection donated by our new Scottish friends.

well if thistle can put theirs up i would hope you will be allowed to put one of yours up

are you going next saturday to the chelsea game?ill be there

LongLostSon · 19-07-2007, 22:19

haven't a shirt thats not already mentioned - but did acquire the signed interview backdrop from our first conference season, if of any use ?
On a separate note, I wonder if the licence would permit a name change to the historic 'Stanley Arms'.

I agree. How about scarves from other teams supporters who also follow Stanley on a regular basis. I'm sure that a fair few who attend the FES fit into this category, of which I am one.

KIPAX · 19-07-2007, 22:36

Shirts and memorobilia should be stanley.. scarves and especially pennants should/could be opposition we have played... any other teams would IMHO be a bit pointless.

Smiffy16 · 20-07-2007, 09:46

But i think it has to be kept to certain section, the shirts i mean. Pictures yes, all over.....but we've got to remember its not just a pub for a Stanley fan. The Crown has lots and lots of local regulars and people who come in at nights, it cant be tacky, or over the top, because people like to drink in a nice looking pub.

I'm all in favour for the shirts on the roof/walls....top idea but we've got to be careful that it isn't too much as I know it will put customers off....

i have got the blue asfc shirt with h.b.c on the front from the 1st season in the conference,it belonged to peter cavanagh and has number 2 and CAVANAGH on the back,it is the original shirt and is signed by CAV and was given to me at the end of the exeter city away game,i you want it p.m me and i will arrange delivery for you.

I think thats fair enough..scarves from stanley fans like me who moved here from another part of the country and now follow stanley as well as their first love footy team..so as soon as the word is given will wander down and hand my scarf in - I will even donate £25 to charity of the pubs choice if they put it up in a decent place !

and I have to say that having other footy tops in the pub other than stanley isnt totally pointless - it would show that the pub/stanley fans welcome all football fans regardless of which team they may support...its also a good talking point in a pub trying to guess which top is from which team..
