    Masterstroke. Looked great at the game and on all footage.
    I was quite sniffy about them when I first arrived, but they actually helped the occasion and make a great souvenir too.

    I was delighted. Especially after I paid £15 for one outside for my son. So he now has that and about five of the freebies.

    Went on a walk from Brockley down to Lee via Blackheath to clear my slightly blurry head, and kept seeing the flags outside people’s houses. Cant pretend I didn’t get a bit teary. Keeping mine up for at least a week.

    Having had both cataracts removed I no longer have to wear glasses. Being short most flag poles were at the right height to poke both eyes out. 
    Definitely a health an safety issue 😉

    A few had some sword fencing moments around me. Woman behind kept tickling my ear with it, didn't know her from Adam...😁

    I've got about ten flag poles to list on Ebay, all authentic all from the Wembley Play-Off Final, but none have the flags, you'll need to buy those separately...

    A good pull was enough to remove the flag from the pole.

    Ha. I thought I might get one of those.
    I considered other phrasing, but decided that 'a quick yank' or 'a sharp jerk' would be just as bad.

    I lost my flag on the way home. Or at least, my friend who borrowed my jacket says it was never in the pocket of the jacket I lent him. I'd happily take a spare that's going!

    Got back to wood green last night and there were loads of spurs knocking around with flags n stuff. Me and my boys rolled down the high road with our charlton flags haha! It was quite windy, so they were on full display. Went into nandos, asked for a table for 3 and the guy was like "you can come in but don't kick off with anyone in those white spurs tshirts" i had to explain to him who we'd been to see and that there was no danger of a tear up from either side!

    Saw an old bloke at Waterloo with about 10 sticking out of a rucksack!!!  Either he checked the bag or must’ve bought it after the game just for the flags..

    Took my son to the National History Museum this morning before our train home and got stopped by security wanting to check the flags poking out my rucksack. Think they expected Palestine flags and looked puzzled to see Charlton Athletic.

    My lad went and rounded up 17 before leaving.  At London Bridge some fella asked him how much he wanted for one! He gave it for free.  So at home we now have 20+ as my girl bought some too.  
    Maybe they will become wallpaper in his room..!

    There were two kids sat behind me and a lot of the time was spent with the flags being gently draped over my head until right at the end, where one of them managed to more or less jam the stick in my ear hole. Needless to say I wasn't a huge fan of the flags.

    I'm thinking of tugging mine off later.

    The only right winger we were following is Thierry Small.

    And even he likes to lean to the left.

    My son kept hitting people around him with it. Gave up telling him in the end.

    The wife almost poked me straight in the eye with the stick end of her one, I narrowly avoid death or blindness.

    I'm invading Poland in the late summer. Think I'll take my Wembley flag along for the trip.

    Due to see our son in a week or two so can give him one of ours for you if you're not sorted by then.....

    ...but guess you won't be around the club for some while for him to drop it off there.

    Tracey Leaburn came over and asked me if I could get her two flags for Nathan Jones, I got two from the seats in front which were empty.
