It's all a load of Cannonballs in here! This is the virtual Arsenal pub where you can chat about anything except football. Be warned though, like any pub, the content may not always be suitable for everyone.

Arsenal poppy badge

Post by Chips and Chocolate »

Hi all,

Just wondering whether there was any place selling discret Arsenal poppy pin badges (with the old crest on it). Lost mine and need a replacement.

Might have to leave the pub earlier next game to see if there's any seller on the way to the ground.

Ta!

Thanks, saw that earlier but ideally would like the old crest rather than the current one. Proving really difficult to find!

How quickly this time of year seems to come around - Time passes by more quickly the older we get. :?

I think this is Amazing: All done by Volunteers AND For All The Right and Proper Reasons:

REMEMBRANCE DAY

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-b ... m-67328047

More than 2,000 (2,023 to be exact) poppies made from plastic bottles have been planted on a Black Country roadside ahead of this year's Remembrance commemorations.
The poppies have been made over the past nine months by people living with a disability who attend Queens Cross Network in Dudley.
On Sunday the poppies were installed by the side of Hillfields Road, in Amblecote, Stourbridge.
The poppy installation was organised by Dudley borough councillors Paul Bradley, Pete Lee and Kamran Razzaq.

Over the last nine months, we've been working with Disability in Action at Queens Cross Network to make these lovely poppies from plastic bottles," said Mr Razzaq.

"We've got 2,023 of them because it's obviously 2023 and we decided to put them at this location because it's a busy road and residents can enjoy it.
"They look amazing" and "we're happy with all the hard work done", he added.

The poppies are made from the bottoms of plastic bottles, which are then painted red, with the bottle top used as the centre of the flower.
Queens Cross Network, on Wellington Road in Dudley, is run by Dudley Council, and offers support for adults with physical and sensory disabilities.
