Hello all

 

Was thinking of getting a flag made for Wembley and then to go up in the kop. Nothing massive, probably 5ft X 3ft..

 

I've dropped the club a note about Wembley as I read man city asked fans to drop flags off and they would display when they played last month.

 

Anyone taking theirs?

Any advice re hanging it? Presume better to get with grommets (holes) in corners

Yes better with grommets. Cable ties are a great way to hang if allowed. If not. I find shoe laces in the grommet holes make a good tempory way to hang. Tie them to the holes with a couple of knots half way along the lace then leave yourself the rest of the lace to tie round a rail etc like tying a shoe nice and easy to undo at the end of the game.

I'm hoping to take mine but not sure if they'll let me take it in without a 'fire safety certificate' and with restrictions at the minute.

They make an end look so much better and adds to the atmosphere so hopefully people can :appl:

What happened to all the flags in the kop?. 

90% were ones by Union FS. One was pinched so the decision was to pull them down and only have two or three on that SK1 bend.

Not much time to get one made ! I make flags and as far as I know Wembley don't ask for fire certificates but you can never be to sure as it could've changed since last time .

Wembley are a lot more chill than most grounds with this.

Yeah I managed to take it to the community shield easily enough which surprised me.

I expected them to be more strict if anything.

I always take my flag to games just to hold at certain times like when the teams come out. It's not massive. I'll be doing the same thing at Wembley hopefully.

Used to love seeing the flags up at the back of the Kop (still struggling calling it that) especially the Godfather one. The broadcasters like to focus on the Vichai flag which is a cracker. Like to think the club would encourage them but I think not (no idea why unless they cover advertising).

In the clubs defence they don't have an issue with them and even installed a wire for them to be hung from after a suggestion from a poster on here.

 

However see the post earlier from @SemperEadem about flags being stolen and therefore the decision was taken by UFS as a group to remove most. Hard earned cash for someone to lift them is not nice. Even been cases at away games where flags have been taken by our own fans.

 

I plan to put mine back up at somepoint. But maybe with metal cable ties meaning someone actually has to smuggle some wire cutters in and even then if they cut them down. Why? What is the point.

Thats a shame. Would love to know the reason behind it.

It's the FA showpiece occasion. They want the world to see Wembley in all its sterile corporate glory. Can't be having any of those tatty fan flags cluttering the place up, can we.

Did you make The Bentley's Roof one?

That's the one that is regularly shown now.

So are the flags being taken to Wembley? 

The large Vichai one is not, I asked if it could be and was told no fan banners/flags are allowed. But club ones are. According to the Wembley site flags over 250cms long or wide are not allowed.
