FLAGS AT THE CCS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SEASON

Wayne Nash has confirmed that flags of any colour will be welcomed into the ground for display on a match by match basis for the rest of the season , with the usual caveat that they must not contain anything offensive.

This is a great opportunity for our various fans` groups to proudly display the flags of the area or group they represent and bring some match-day colour to the ground as part of improving the match-day atmosphere. So dig out those flags and bring them along to all the remaining home games (with some gaffer tape to fix them to the walls etc at the back of the stands)

Time to get the flag back out .... Bbllllooooooobbbbiiiirrrrdddddzzzzzzz!!!!!

Brilliant news.......!

Shame they won't really be seen at the back of the stands, I seem to remember when being in the Family Stand, quite a few flags just by one person.

Only for the rest of the season ?
What about next year ?

That is a lovely flag!!!

Be good if we can get the Canton like the Kip,all scarfs out and say have 10 kids with flags, I think it will look awesome.

Carl, thats good news, but did not understand your comment "flags of any colour will be welcomed into the ground " ! why wouldnt flags of any colour be welcomed ? they always have been, as they are all over the world at every club in the world, or have our club got something against certain colours ???

Anyway I really hope this happens, any colour flags just shows that the club can be unified, flags of old and new etc. Exciting times

That`s not Carl`s comment , its Wayne Nash`s comment. Carl is just (very kindly to bring it to the attention of as many people as possible) quoting (part of)a report from the Trust website of the result of some meetings between myself , Wayne and Nic Heslop , the club`s Commercial Manager.

I wanted to clarify that no fan would be turned away or refused permission to display his/her flag if it was blue or had "bluebirds" written on it - that clarification was given and quoted. Clearly , if someone turned up with a flag that said "f*ck off Tan"or similar as an attempt at a protest it wouldn`t be allowed (rightly so) as being offensive.

Hope this helps.

But i dont understand why you would be turned away with a Blue flag ? as opposed to say a black flag for example, are people anti blue,ish

Would a long blue banner saying 'Keep Cardiff Blue' offensive?

The highlighted bit is what worries me. For the rest of the season? Does that mean it will change by next season and blue will be forbidden or frowned upon?

That will depend on advertising space I've been told; depending what division we are in there maybe an increase in advertising which the sponsors don't take kindly to having flags draped over their signs. There maybe only limited space for a few flags to be draped around the place, but they will still be allowed in if there is room.

In fairness to the club and Wayne Nash he is looking at areas where they maybe able to locate flags and also about making space for the regular flags bearers he mentioned two in particular that are always flown at most home games

Seems like Wayne gave you exactly the same information that he gave me Vince.
If the club does go along with finding space though I hope they don`t proceed with their initial thoughts of filling the back of the Canton stand with Welsh flags (to promote the dragon) rather than Cardiff City ones.

Our big St Davids 'Porthcawl Bluebirds' flag is nearly always hung for home games at the back of the Ninian stand on the half way line. Only problem is that it has to be hung lower than the advertising boards - so diff to see when ground is full and people standing etc. I love to see loads of flags - makes for a good atmos - but (obviously) all the ad boards have the best vantage points.

Is it just the back of the stands -or can we drape over the front
hoardings and exits?

that bit makes me laugh, i'm a health and safety manager, and i get told i cant hang a flag over the top of the steps, because it blocks a fire exit sign
YET, the only people who could see the sign sit directly in front of it are in full view of the steps anyway, and are more likely to fall down the steps while reading it,
nobody behind the step which is where i sit, can see it anyway.
there is nothing hanging from the roof showing fire exits,
but then again how senile or forgetful would you have to be to forget which way you came in less than 2hrs ago?

Even if you don't have a personlised flag like the one in the OP. The national flag in the yellow blue and white, or the national flag with your home town, Cardiff City or Bluebirds on it would be good.

or a st davids flag

On the subject of flags Carlos ... I personally find it offensive that we have 2 Malaysian flags for every 1 Welsh Dragon on official display ! Yeah , we can bring personal flags in to counter than imbalance but to me it sends the wrong message - Malaysia in the ascendancy over Wales ! Any channels through which it can be mentioned !!!??

Keith didn't get the impression just hanging welsh flags was ever on the agenda to be honest. Again it was all flags providing they were not offensive Wayne eluded to me. In fact both of the flags he mentioned neither were the welsh flag.
