A VOCAL army of Latics fans have unfurled a new flag for the 2015/16 season.

“The Athleticos”, who have initiated a singing section at SportsDirect.com Park, fund-raised to cover the cost of the giant flag.

Members attached it on to seats in the Rochdale Road End on Saturday as they joined other volunteers to give the ground a spring clean ready for the start of the new campaign which kicks-off on August 8.
