Loan your flag for the North London Derby

Yours doesn’t have to be this big!

SUBSCRIBE TO THE GOONER

After a near miss earlier in the season, we are pleased to say that we have the go-ahead for a big display of fans’ flags before the Spurs FA Cup game. We therefore need to borrow your flags, to contribute to the display. If you have a big Arsenal flag and want to see it on display in the stadium, read on:

All flags must be pro-Arsenal, and must not have any offensive content.

We will hang flags from club level as the teams come onto the pitch – all flags must have eyelets to enable this. We can punch eyelets into your flag if it does not have them (with your permission of course).

We need all flags to be dropped off at the stadium on the day of the Cardiff match (i.e. New Years Day); exact time and place tbc.

Flags will then be available for pickup at the Fulham game on 18th Jan – again, time and place TBC.

So, if you have an Arsenal flag at home, please get it out and bring it for dropoff at the Cardiff match. We will follow up with drop off time and place between now and then – possibly by email but definitely on Twitter@REDactionAFC. You can also email us at [email protected] if you miss the details elsewhere.

Given the short time between now and the Cardiff game (and the number of people off email and social media over Christmas); if you know people with big flags, please let them know in case they miss this message.

Whilst we’re here, just a quick Rocket update – it is OPEN from midday before the Cardiff game. Swansea vs Man City on TV from 12:45; Man U vs Spurs on TV at 5:30, and £11 jugs of Amstel available post match if you can stomach any more beer!

What happened to the idea of having banners that sat on rollers, like blinds do, and then were unrolled whenever required? The could be positioned at club level (and other positions, without covering any adverts) and unfurled. And then rolled back up again. It's surely not beyond the realms of science. Wouldn't it save on the hassle of carrying banners around and all the man power required? Just a thought. Good luck with it.

REDaction I don't have a flag, would that I did it would be yours. Just a great opportunity for me to say I think you are brilliant. Well done guys, happy new year, and much success to your strategic plans next year.

REDaction, we can always stomach more beer. A good idea there's never been enough flags and banners flying and hanging in the ground, especially the home made ones like we used to see at finals and do at away European games. I realise it might have something to do with size and covering advertising that would probably explain getting the go ahead but i think things have become more relaxed on that front,but more often than not their the same as is sold in the armory with homemade writing sewed or written on. I've often wondered why we see so many of them at CL away games and not at home.
