whats wrong with people outside the ground giving them out?

A home game of sky would've been ideal for this, put one on every seat before the gates open and have one person at each turnstile on the south stand...not rocket science, would create a much needed buzz, would be good advertising for vestas and would look good on sky!

wigan away is a good idea also as we're guaranteed to fill the away end.

Chelsea do this free flags gimmick.
Noted on Tuesday that the commentators said something along the lines of "Well, the Liverpool fans don't need free flags, they create atmosphere themselves".

Exactly. We shouldn't need plastic flags, drums, 12 year old cheerleaders, or ridiculous music played everytime we score.

Need to make the HJ an intimidating place for the opposition to play, like Wilderspool used to be. Bring back the Zoo.

Has it not occurred to you that there may be a slight difference in cost to the sponsor between providing 8,000 flags and providing 500 flags?

As much as i love the family element of the sport it would be great if we had 12,000 screaming headcases at every match.

Are the flags white so supporters can wave them as the team capitulates?

LOL. They did that when I was watching Real Madrid vs Osasuna back in 2004. White hankies everywhere, was like JWP's bedroom.
