The departure of Mike Ashley meant the return of Wor Flags to matches, as they ended their boycott.
The pre-match flag displays once again becoming part of the matchday routine.
Ahead of the first home match of last (2022/23) season, Wor Flags invited all fans to consider helping them with future flag displays by setting up a regular monthly donation to assist in funding them. See below how to get involved.
Now ahead of this all or nothing AC Milan match at St James’ Park, Wor Flags asking all Newcastle United fans to do their bit in a physical sense, not just helping out financially if they can.
Wor Flags via their social media:
‘Next Wednesday – 13 December we are urging you all to BringYourScarf and create a sea of Black and White against AC Milan.
We are hoping that the sight of 49,500 black and white scarves alongside our planned display will create a sight befitting of the incredible efforts by the players, Eddie Howe and his coaching staff this season.
A disgraceful decision in Paris is all that has prevented our destiny from being in our own hands. We saw against PSG at St James’ how imposing the atmosphere can be for the opposition, so let’s use the frustration of the injustice in Paris to recreate that atmosphere and make it another magical night under the lights.
Unfortunately, due to the tight turnaround between Milan and the Fulham game we will not be able to do a full stadium display in the way we have against PSG and Dortmund given the vast clean up operation that requires.
Rest assured though, we do still have a display planned (as mentioned above) but we think this would be a perfect opportunity for the whole ground to get involved by twirling your black and white scarves.
Your response to our previous requests to #BringYourScarf has been incredible and we can’t wait to see it all over again as we look to cheer the lads on to more European football in the New Year. Hopefully that will be in the Champions League.
So please get there early, #BringYourScarf and raise the roof.
Howay the Lads’
The Wor Flags ‘goal’ explained:
‘Our Goal
Wor Flags goal is straightforward – to create displays at St James’ Park that are worthy of this great club. We will achieve this in the following ways:
Hundreds of black and white hand-held waver flags
Larger custom design one and two poler waver flags
Large text banners featuring messages of support
Foils, surfers and custom tifos’
On behalf of everybody who visits The Mag, we signed up early last season to make a modest regular monthly donation to help fund Wor Flags and that will continue.
If you would like to join us and do a personal individual contribution, then please go HERE, where you can set up a monthly donation (from as little as £1 per month and upwards) to Wor Flags, or a one-off contribution.
The Wor Flags website shows that including The Mag, there are currently over 1,300 Newcastle United fans who have committed to a monthly donation to support the displays, great if some other additional supporters would like to commit as well.
