Ultras & Flag Poles

[katei77]

having a child who was burnt and nearly lost limbs because of it

i fully support making sure the clayton end is never to blame for anyone getting burnt while cheering the team on

god forbid it ever happened everyone would be asking why the flags were not treated in the 1st place

i cant wait till no one cares and your free to govern yourself

How do you fire proof a flag? Make it out of asbestos fibre?

100% over the top.

Anyone got any fake 'this item has been fire proofed and meets accrington stanleys draconian rules' stickers?

I have no motivation to make any more banners.

Your right i was taking the pee, but it was one of them days!

I can understand perfectly well where your coming from but this smoke is HARMLESS!!! The smoke is WITHOUT FIRE and alls it does is create an atmosphere and looks quite good! The smoke that was used was let off in the middle of the the ultras who all think its good and agree with it. It was away from the family stand etc.

Saying this, i have no idea who did it and let it off

As for getting the flags fire proofed, i can understand but its very rare anything would happen but if the club wish to do it for the fans then i dont see the big deal.

You can get get it FR'd for about £1.25 per metre depending on fibre composition or go for something like Fire Barrier Cloth which is whiteish in colour
