Flamible flags at Norwich and Stoke

[brisfox]

I'm at Carrow Road and have been told that we cannot display flags due to , and I quote" problems in case the flags catch fire" same thing happened at Stoke a couple of weeks ago. The conversation went as follows " Sorry Sir, you cant bring that flag into the ground in case it catches fire"

I replied " Exactly how many flags have caught fire at Norwich this year?"

"None" came the reply." Sorry Sir , it doesn't have a fire safety certificate "

I asked the steward if any of his clothes had fire safety certificates. He said "No".

"In that case, please remove all you clothes immediately in case they spontaneously combust"

I hate dealing with idiots

[The whole world smiles]

Not his fault he will have some bellend in his ear peice, he sounded polite enough.

What annoys me most is that clubs treat fans like they are morons, even so they are quick enough to charge £45 for a ticket.

Why is he an idiot?

I think it's called acting responsibility. We all know that flags need fire certificates so why the surprise?

[brisfox]

Exactly how many flags have you seen catch fire lately?

"Sorry Sir, you can't bring that flag into the ground in case it catches fire"

 

"Exactly how many flags have caught fire at Norwich this year?"

 

"None"

 

That's because no one can take flags into the ground.

Don't flags come with the fire safety certificate included?  Just hold onto it to take to games with you and make the lives of the stewards who get no say in stadium policy a little easier, surely?

I can't help but think Norwich are trying to prevent any of the FSF flags/banners being shown. Cvnts.

[AndWhat?]

Quite obvious that the whole fire safety certificate bullshit is more to do with trying to squash fan culture than to actually keep us safe.

 

As you say, how the **** are flags more likely to catch fire over clothes?

 

It's a good job the FSF's 20's Plenty flag has a fire certificate.

I thought everyone knew about the need for a fire safety cert. for flags it's  certainly been discussed on the forum enough.

 

It matter not whether it is bullshit take your certificate  with you and they won't have that reason to stop you.

Funnily enough, Norwich have just brought out 4 big flags to wave at the side of the pitch. I went up to the steward who previously stopped me and pointed out that they didn't appear to have a safety certificate. He didn't appreciate the irony.

Probably because it's only irony if you have a legitimate point and you're not just trying to win points over some poor lad who can't help that you didn't bring the certificate to the match with you.

I bet the certificate would be flammable. Farce.

Take your certificate, it aint difficult. We went to Saints U18 cup game last season, got asked for certifucate, produced it, had it checked, and were escorted to an area where we could hang it, no problem. Mind you, you were at Narich, carrot munching tw@ts.

I've seen quite a few flags on fire, just depends on how far East your going.
