Title: Villa banner is banned from Wembley
Post by: JayBox325 on Tuesday, May 26, 2015, 16:42:29
A £3,000 surf banner for Wembley has been banned by the FA for the FA Cup Final because it says "Arsenal" on it. As you know, I've had a few things like this with organising the stuff I do for Swindon.

Can we all sign their petition in a bid to get it allowed in?

Done, didn't realise Wembley wanted to charge Bradford £2k for their tribute flag for the 56 fire deaths in 2011. Money grabbing bastards

Done. Yet another sign of how far football has gone downhill.

I don't know how best to handle this scenario.

Do we, as down-to-earth supporters, have to sign a petition for everything we disagree with (which will probably be ignored), or do we go with the flow, in the hope that years of subjugation will reach such a peak, that years of corporate dictatorialism will eventually implode, giving grass roots fans the recognition that we have always demanded.

Sentiment suggests I should sign. But I won't. Too little too late. Keyboard warriors have no influence.

I signed but agree....

Only the rough ups get reported...unfortunately

I don't think it's a great banner.

Villa fans are pricks, but the general 'sod the fans' attitude from the FA is a joke.
Money grabbing tossers
