If they want to fly flags and advertise thier political sympathies they should fly them in their own front gardens.

So please explain to me which of the flags on the Kop last Saturday were seen as not football related or political?

Politically I would probably in the same camp as the people who put up the flags. However, I think we should keep to football flags only. Everybody is offended by somebody's flag and surely we should be here for football and football only. Why put people off in a way not even related to the match?

Who's the enemy?

Whoever we're playing. Don't let them get a pass in.

Those who say politics and football should be kept separate, to a certain degree yes. But what about many things that cross over, The DSA has done some wonderful work and have had members going to parliament on issues of accessiblity in stadiums and other things. What about safe standing laws? Needs to involve politics. The Hillsborough stuff and JF96 needed to involve politics.
Fully behind the anti sun banner. I'm fully for more accessible spaces. Id love us to have safe standing. Which id say puts me as a loony lefty by some on here
Should it spilt the fan base no. I know people who have whole different ideals to me. Do I row with them? No. Some times adults can be adults and express opinions how they like without handbags and falling out.
I haven't put these flags up myself but they have given me somethings to learn about and look into, with an open mind and eager to learn and engage with different groups. I like that element. I actually met a fan from overseas and his wife at the weekend who was at his second match this year after seeing different flags and stuff.

Are you seriously saying you met someone and his wife at the weekend who travelled from overseas just to see different flags and stuff?

Tell him he and his wife are more than welcome to come and see some washing on the line in my garden for a fiver.

Seriously, yeah. maybe not "to see flags" but more to watch us and have a few beers with others fans, he was a nice chap too.

Any flag that doesn't mention Wrexham Football Club, in my opinion.

It's not my opinion that counts though.

I would suggest any flag that wants to promote anything other than Wrexham FC should be approved by the commercial dept. and be charged at appropriate advertising rates.
