wayne allisons tongues Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Got new away shirt for my birthday, wore it first time yesterday and had flies landing on it all the time. On washing line at moment and covered in flies/insects. Was wondering due to it's bright colour the daft insects think it's a flower, but will this happen to team when there wearing it. Not a good idea if there spending all day swatting flies away and not chasing the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frome Valley Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Norwich fans had the same problem... http://www.telegraph...ighter-kit.html Different flies. Never heard of flies following red shirts about. Often flies around Rovers shirts. Yellows fine. Take a black marker pen to the blue parts. No flies.

InCider Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Norwich fans had the same problem... http://www.telegraph...ighter-kit.html So according to the entomologist they're just trying to lay eggs on the OP's top. What's the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne allisons tongues Posted July 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Bit concerned my shirt is now a beetles haven. No one told me this when I got the shirt. Maybe I should demand my money back, for if this is a known problem the club have sold shirt without saying these known facts? But seriously a bit awkward when wearing and drying it. Will it have an effect on our team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristolcitysweden Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 On the positive side you will not have a problem with rabbits or roe deer as they avoid for example daffodils. If not it would have been tricky to ge hold of a washing machine big enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
