I would always be up for donating towards this kind of initiative, as indeed I did for the original flags.But do you feel a little embarrassed at asking for donations again when you’ve lost the original flags?Will the new flags be looked after more carefully?
Agree Rich it’s bizarre what use would they be to anyone other as a flag at a football match, surprised nobody has bragged about having them especially in these days of social media.Having chipped in for the originals it’s frustrating being asked again but I will anything to enhance the atmosphere. Is the VSC flag still about?
Somebody out their must know who has them ,they were massive, not like they can use them anywhere
I have some sympathy with their plight. Trying to get things going again when in the past they put trust in people to look after these flags only for them to go walkabout.Not sure what's happened in the past re measures to keep the flags Inc the smaller ones at the Keepmoat by collecting them at the end of each match but it seems a minority of light fingered types seem determined to spirit them away despite the organisers efforts. Getting trusted volunteers over time to collect distribute and collect flags isn't always that easy. Maybe regular bucket collections in the Black Bank to cover natural wastage might be another step if not being done already.

Could you not put out a social media post say on face book, twitter and say just drop it off at the ticket office or someones home address and no questioned asked, you never know it might work
