Stewards weren't going to let my flag in until I told them it was registered with Wembley. Shown them my England fans card, driving licence & a few pictures of it up at England games they done a radio through.. some man in a suit escorted me to where I wanted to put it up and they was happy.

A bit ott for a flag though even if they were happy in the end. I saw 'the bubble has burst' banner up on level 5 before kick off near the giant screen/behind goal. Looked up at halftime it had gone, did this get removed by powers that be?
AndWhat? Posted 8 August 2016 Posted 8 August 2016 Football clubs are an absolute joke when it comes to flags in this country.

Yeah that was in front of where we were and a steward came across and told them to take it down. Ridiculous really because there was no way it was blocking anyone's view below.
promised land Posted 8 August 2016 Posted 8 August 2016 Blocking a view it was metres above the tier below

Me and my dad tried to talk to the Steward about it and explain that the boxes below were set back quite a long way but she wasn't having any of it. Oh well.
purpleronnie Posted 8 August 2016 Posted 8 August 2016 They just like the power to tell people what to do. They must have very low self esteem.
ithuriel Posted 8 August 2016 Posted 8 August 2016 There was a couple of flags hanging just a row in front of where I was sitting, one was wrapped around the railings and the other kept rising up in the strong breeze and obscuring the game, the lad whose flag it was kept pushing it down, in the second half it nearly went down on those below when the string on one end loosened and he and his mate had to grab it quickly, after that they wrapped it round the railing too.
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 8 August 2016 Posted 8 August 2016 Didn't have any problems with ours, the stewards even helped us put them on the front rail. I didn't even get my bag checked inside or outside the turnstile.
Guest CityFan 06 Posted 8 August 2016 Posted 8 August 2016 The Kop's going to look great next season hopefully with the flags, we might even see some new ones with the designs that have been put on here. Although if the Kop had a front rail fence it would be amazing.

Leads me to think though if the demand becomes really high for spaces, they should start going on the front rail providing the club allow it, which they don't at the moment.

Was that block 519? They were mine, well, one was, I was minding the other for a mate. After putting them up I didnt go near them again, was on row 6 so the lads on front row looked after them.

Ah I see. The blue one is mine but a friend had it for the game. But saying that they all look so small from that picture. I managed to get a good picture of mine from block 112. Pleased with how it's turned out, considering I painted it myself as well Hope it didn't block your view too much.
Soup Posted 8 August 2016 Posted 8 August 2016 Sometimes the flags obstruct the view of the kids in Bochum. Not that it bothers them

I was looking out for ones posted on here over the summer, saw a few here and there.

ithuriel Posted 8 August 2016 Posted 8 August 2016 Did not overly bother me, just thought it was funny the amount of effort put in to keep pushing it back down and kept thinking it should have been weighted at the bottom.

Amazing how a fairly large flag looks so small on the front of the stadium. I keep losing rivets on one of mine so might bin it before long.
FoxesDeb Posted 9 August 2016 Posted 9 August 2016 I would leave out the 3rd line, I think it's better without
BroughtonFox Posted 9 August 2016 Posted 9 August 2016 I don't mind changing the images or text if someone can think of something better?
