flags
tribalfooball.com - December 17, 2006
Arsenal have asked supporters not to bring national flags to
matches at the Emirates Stadium.
A club statement read: "Some of our fans have been upset with the
flying of certain flags denoting particular regions of the
world.
"Arsenal as a club prides itself on being inclusive with respect to
all nationalities, cultural and ethnic groups.
"We have therefore decided that in order for all of our fans to
enjoy their experience at Emirates Stadium, we are asking that only
flags in support of Arsenal Football Club, without any national
emblems, are displayed within the stadium.
"We will be implementing this policy with immediate
effect."
