In production and ready to go!

So this is what's being made at the moment at Billboard Posters/Augustus Martin in Bow

















and part of it looks like this

















and here's some info from Dave Davies who's producing it for us.

Charlton Athletic's home game on Sunday against Newcastle will also mark the latest offering from the popular 'Valley Flags' campaign. The new banner, which will begin its journey around the Valley just before kick-off, features an image of Derek 'Killer' Hales in the pose of the Cuban revolutionary, Che Guevara.

The flag, measuring 18 metres by 18 metres, printed in 8 sections, hand-stitched together and hemmed at the edges, was printed by Dave Davies at Billboard Posters/Augustus Martin, who are one of Europe's most advanced integrated screen, litho and digital printers. The company, which operates on a five-acre site in Bow, have been supplying large format print and POS material for over forty years.

"This was a great project to work on, and anything that can get the crowd going and give us that twelfth man at the moment can only be a good thing," explained Dave, a North Stand season-ticket holder.

“It was particular fun since, our premises being in East London, a fair few Hammers fans were involved in the production process. I must admit to having a couple of worried moments as the deadline approached, but they’re pros and there wasn’t any kind of sabotage,” joked Dave.

The flag, one of many more planned, will be used at all home matches until the end of the season and, if possible, one or two away games before the end of the campaign.
