Has anyone read the Health & Safety rules regarding flags at Wembley?! Unless you can get some sort of fire safety cert for your flag, it must be under 1.5m by 2.5m... The rules made me angry, but i think you'll find the rules will make any decent flag owning fan a bit mad.


Title: Re: Flags @ Wembley
Post by: Panda Paws on Friday, May 21, 2010, 11:38:48
I also think that the hundreds of temp stewards arent really going to care if the flag in your bag is 3m not 2.5 and you arent carrying the fire certificate. Bollocks to it.

I have previously seen a huge swindon flag with club and country written on, plus a fairly big one with the (good old) www.stfcfannyforum.com (or similar) written on (courtesy of townfish I guess)...What ever happened to these?

Gonna drive over to Swindon tomorrow after work and have a look in the club  shop.

I think it looks bloody awesome when the teams come into a packed stadium and all you can see is a sea of flags waving.

Anyone taking an air horn? (the proper, bastard loud ones)

He said there wasn't that much apart from car flags,jester hats just the regular type of stuff you get for finals.I could't tell you about replica kits,Im not sure how we stand on that but im guessing we will have new kit next season so i doubt you will get this seasons now.

Thought that might be the case, but I seem to remember in 1993 they suddenly got a load of shirts in and sold them cheaper because it was changing the following season.  Wondered if they might do the same again, because I know quite a few people who don't normally go, but are wanting to buy a shirt for Wembley!

I wanted another shirt as well. I bought a medium and it's not tight, but if i eat or drink too much (both of which will happen on the 29th) it becomes rather restrictive around the stomach area.

I nipped in there yesterday wasnt much on display apart from adidas play-off final polo shirts for £30 ! needless to say I didnt buy one! they'd also just had a delivery so might be worth a look over weekend

Yep, i've been sick 3 times today and am aiming for 10 times tomorrow. Hopefully it will fit quite normally by Wembley. Either that or i pretend i bought it knowing it was tight and i think i'm cool and muscled, which i'm most certainly not.

All makes the fact that we're now playing in white even more of a mockery!  I wonder if anyone who's bought any of the above mentioned red items now gets a refund?!!!
