FA Cup 3rd Round Draw (v the scum)

Is the kick-off time likely to change or is it staying at 5:15 now?

I dunno if anyone here is interested, but I received this email from REDaction earlier regarding pre-match flags.

After a near miss earlier in the season, we are pleased to say that we have the go-ahead for a big display of fans’ flags before the Spurs FA Cup game. We therefore need to borrow your flags, to contribute to the display. If you have a big Arsenal flag and want to see it on display in the stadium, read on:


• All flags must be pro Arsenal, and must not have any offensive content.
•We will hang flags from club level as the teams come onto the pitch – all flags must have eyelets to enable this. We can punch eyelets into your flag if it does not have them (with your permission of course).
•We need all flags to be dropped off at the stadium on the day of the Cardiff match (i.e. New Years Day); exact time and place tbc. Flags will then be available for pickup at the Fulham game on 18th Jan – again, time and place TBC.


So, if you have an Arsenal flag at home, please get it out and bring it for dropoff at the Cardiff match. We will follow up with dropoff time and place between now and then – possibly by email but definitely on Twitter at @REDactionAFC. You can also email us at [email protected] if you miss the details elsewhere.

Given the short time between now and the Cardiff game (and the number of people off email and social media over Christmas); if you know people with big flags, please let them know in case they miss this message



It's good to see the club give the fans some sort of freedom in terms of creating an atmosphere at the grove 8) .

The same kind of freedom they give questions at the agm and Q & A - real freedom doesn't require you to hand over your flag 5 days beforehand to get the official approval :roll:

This is true.
And my flag is "pro-Arsenal". Might try for a laugh. See if the censors actually read them..... :rubchin:

So does anyone actually have a flag and wants to get involved in this?
