Flags

I have a big Welsh flag and was increasingly being stopped taking it into stadiums because it's wasn't fire retardant. (Apparently UEFA insist on this)
Anyway, I was about to stop taking it to games but found out about a company called 'flame Protect' in Abertillery who make flags fire retardant and provide the appropriate 'certification'. Anyway, just saying as I assume some of you will have come across same problem.

Flag size is going to be restricted as well at the Euros, no flags larger than 2m X 1.5m will be allowed into any stadia :cry:

Thanks for the info, make sure that the 10 'Rhondda Jacks' take 1 each like you normally do to games!

The name of the village I live in is on the flag. I don't have 'Swansea' or 'Jacks' on it because I don't want any hassle at Wales games. Although to be fair '# together stronger' is working.

There will be enough hassle from outside Wales and I hope Wales fans do stick together

When I was younger there were only 3 jacks in the Rhondda.

Now you've popped up like fuckin migrants round a swimming pool!!!

You're right there, when I was young in the early eighties despite it being the ' Tosh' first division days ( 2 seasons) I was almost the only Jack in the village!
Rhondda will always be a Cardiff stronghold but Premier League success means there's now quite a few, mostly kids though.
