    Wor Flags

    Confirmed today tthat there'll be a huge display at Wembley.

    Even better, because of the short amount of time to raise funds and plan/order, etc a new flag, the club have stepped in to help with the funding. Fantastic gesture.

    Huge credit should go to Wor Flags because they've galvanised the home support in a way that is far more natural and meaningful than the platsic clappers or whatever or, god forbid, goal music that some other clubs use to try and generate an atmosphere.

    It's brilliant and really good for the club to get involved to support.

    Make Wembly feel like home and Man Utd can run scared.

    I read a few Twitter comments from our fans saying they should turn the money down because it goes against the spirit of what they're about.

    i mean, everyone's entitled to their opinions an all that, but.....fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck off, man

    Aye, they said it should stay entirely fan-funded.

    Loads of folk pointed out that Wor Flags had already said the fund-raising timeline was too short.

    Personally, I think it's a fantastic gesture by the club and shows the bond between us and the owners we couldn't even dream of under fatso. Would they rather have an inferior display but say 'look at our principles'?

    Don't get it myself.

    The object of the exercise is to create a unique atmosphere for our team… end of . Surely this gesture only goes to cement the owner/fan relationship further,if indeed this is possible. Principles only come into it if there are differences in intentions .Anyway I’m sure those who object are significantly in the minority.
