My football daft 11 year old grand daughter asked why Sunderland & Newcastle are allowed to have flags galore and we aren’t. Lots of youngsters go now many in the North stand, why not.

It would be organised/funded by a supporters club wouldn’t it?

I suppose it could and probably have to be a bit controlled but I see no reason we couldn’t do the same as the geordie clubs.

I don’t study our ground regulations that much but we do seem to have particular awkward arses running it justifying their existence. I mean what problem can a fuckin balloon do.

Not keen personally. I like the fact we have a lot of unique flags that people hang up.
We have a drum which we've had long before most other clubs but tifos in England are often a bit too forced.
Often clubs with them have shite atmospheres. Sunderland, Leicester and Ipswich are examples at this level and all three then end up sitting in silence for 90 minutes once they have put down their expensive, one off displays.

Not for me. Those daft flags that block the view of the paying spectators at some of the prem games are annoying.

Is that what makes your voice high ? Could be interesting if those in block 14 have a gob full

No it makes YOU high but not your voice (though most N2O users' voices haven't broken yet so they are already fairly screechy!)

Yeah, and in Germany. Imagine having to watch the match from behind one of those stupid 'look at me' sheets waving around the whole time.

The big ones on the Kop pre game are organised by a supporters group, given out before each game down the front. Need fire certificates too. If we had a proper supporters group we could probably do something similar rather than everyone bring their own.
*NB. I say the big ones on the Kop. Talking about the big ones on poles etc. Not so much the ones on a second hand bed sheet.

From a different perspective, I am a STH for an MLS club. We have flags in the stands. However, they are limited to only the Safe Standing Supporters area.
Even within those blocks, they really just concentrate right behind the goal. If you want to be around that, you stand in that area. Personally, I feel the same as others. I don't want it blocking my view all match. So, I usually stand 15-20 rows up just to the outside of the goal posts.
Creates a vibrant atmosphere without messing with my ability to enjoy the match.
You can see a few of the flags right behind the goal. Usually a few more than that. But this was the Leagues Cup Final against Messi's Inter Miami. The ticketing situation kind of screwed a few things up for that match.

I fucking hate the "put a flag on every seat and get everyone to wave them in unison" attitude. Like those crappy clapper things that Fulham took to Wembley for the play-off final (2018??) because they are too dull to make any noise otherwise. And vuvuzelas!

Get measured by EFL, balloons on pitch impact on game, ref will report back on end of match review. Like the beach ball scenarios often seen at games.
Flags are allowed with relevant fire certificate and agreed location.F**k me, we can't have balloons in the Stadium
Wembley tickets sold out 5 days before the game - TICKETS: Play-Off Final - General Admission sold-out, Disabled tickets remain available - were some empty seats on the day though, probably allocated to sponsors or something.

There was a bigger attendance for our play off final than there was for the FA Cup final.

Think that would probably be the case for the Championship playoff most years.
