Triangular corner flags?

[5waller5]

Just found out that winners of the FA Cup can have triangular corner flags, everyone else rectangular!

 

Who knew!?

 

Looking forward to seeing them next season!!!

Shall we give the FA cup winners a CL spot? 

 

Nahhhh..... give them pointy corner flags!

[Blarmy]

We also can apply for extra flexible ones now. If any opposition players try and Vardy them they’ll whip back and smack the player in the face, or even better the nuts.

Club choice apparently. Liverpool for example chose not to use and there’s nothing that actually stipulates what shape corner flags should be.

It’s a sort of unwritten tradition, but one I hope we adopt.

Clubs can actually have triangular ones without winning the FA cup.

Yeah I looked into this a few months ago as I though this was kind of a thing that I remembered.

 

But yes apparently it was something started back in the day as a tradition but not actually anything official.

Worth winning it for this privilege alone!

I’m sure clubs have used triangles that haven’t won, and that changing them to triangles is an option some clubs don’t take... 

 

But personally I love these quirky traditions - Hope that we continue it!

Well that's some football history I'm not sure I needed to know. Thanks wikipedia.

It’s factually a myth - more of a tradition more than anything else

I immediately thought of this, the moment the whistle blew up for Full Time......

 

.....then 10 mins later, remembered we're going back to Wembley for Community Shield too.
