One Team Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Could anyone please confirm if Flag Day for the coming season will be the first home game as usual, I.e. the Leeds game on the Sunday? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! My understanding is that 'Flag Day' necessitates a large Police involvement. Bristol City vs Leeds, notwithstanding (or even precisely because) it is a late Sunday afternoon kick-off will undoubtedly also require a large Police presence. I suspect you can assume quite safely that 'Flag Day' and City/Leeds will not coincide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course not, and I am sure that if you (and only you) want to put up a (non-offensive) flag in a BS3 pub on the Sunday of the Leeds game you won't need to seek permission from the Police. Nevertheless, I remain sceptical that the Police will allow 'Flag Day' to take place on 4 August 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s more to do with traffic management due to all the fans in the road. They also tend to close the road for 10 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carey 6 Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 I just posted in another thread it is planned for Leeds but awaiting police confirmation. Personally I’d rather it was done on the Saturday vs QPR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Team Posted July 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 Thanks for the replies, appreciated. Its been the first home game for the last few years so was kind of expecting it to be the same again but have seen very little about it on social media.

cider head Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 It depends if those involved in setting it up each year still have the enthusiasm to do it or their availability to do that date due to their own working commitments.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristolcitysweden Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 Take a small admission fee and give the money to charity. The people working for free will be happier and there will not be a traffic problem as quite a few people are misers and will not turn up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
