We gets orders for latex balloons every day but sometimes an unusual pattern starts to emerge that makes you stop and think about something that's must be going on and these last few days have been one of those times.
Just about every other order coming down off the internet has been for red and blue balloons - red and royal blue balloons to be exact. No GB event going on! Anyway that would be red, white and blue and these have all been just red and blue. Then yesterday someone calls us to place an order for their red & blue balloons over the phone and we find out that they are for the Crystal Palace match on bank holiday Monday.
He went as far as to tell me to watch Sky Sports on Monday 27th May at about 2.50pm for the start of the Crystal Palace v Watford match when everyone will be able to see the balloons on TV.
Now have to say I'm really on the fence with this one - love Ian Holloway but Watford is just a little bit more local and they have the fantastic Gianfranco Zola as their manager - a true Chelsea legend!
So am really going to enjoy watching this as will be a true neutral for once and will be happy for either team (but also sad for the losers too). Actually I might be an emotional wreck at the end!
Good Luck Crystal Palace! Good Luck Watford! May the best team on the day win!
If you need red & blue latex balloons for the match then you can find them on our webite.
Please Remember
Releasing balloons is fun and a magnificent spectacle however enjoy yourself but please remember the environment and wildlife - if these balloons are being filled with helium and released don't attach anything to the balloons (other than a paper/card tag). No plastic stoppers - no ribbon. Just inflate with helium, tie by hand with a knot and release.
