Is that to do with FIFAs stance on political messages/icons etc (like with the poppies)

Although my personal political leanings make me sympathetic to causes like Catalan independence and support Palestine I'm wary of the club being seen to have overt views on such things.

As for as I am concerned there should not be any political flags flying, only Wrexham FC banners and flags.

The flags were put there by fans, not the club.

There was a Catalan flag in the corner of the Canton stand on Monday as well.

If anyone wanted to put an Israeli or Spanish flag on the Kop then there is nothing stopping them.

Yes there are people to remove this tat they are called stewards. This is a football club not Hyde Park best leave political banners etc well away from our club and ground.

Anyone is free to put whatever flag they want up in their own garden if they feel it absolutely necessary to use that method of so called "support".

But if its got nothing to do with the game or the football club and has the potential to cause disagreements within the fan base, it should be kept outside the ground.

Perverts of society.

The Wrexham, Celtic and Bohemians flag

Agree with the majority of sentiments on here. On your own property, you can do what you feel. In my three hours on a Saturday at the Racecourse, I look for a bit of fun and escapism from the hassles of life. We should concentrate on supporting WAFC and keep all other views/thoughts in our back pocket.
