I can confirm this. Me and DLS were stood about 10 yards away when the lad turned up with it, wearing a high visibility jacket with 'F**k off Yanks' or something to that effect on the back.
As a matter of fact, I don't think he wanted to burn it but the camera crew seemed pretty keen on capturing that image.
True that.
The American flags being burned did contain pictures of Hicks an Gillett. The first one had a few words on an all that I couldn't quite make out.
I know at the time both me and CRK had reservations about the burning of the flag, but after sleeping on it I don't really see the big deal. It was quite clearly a symbolic act against the owners rather than the American nation. Plus, I don't really think yanks can complain, not with their track record of doing idiotic things - usually ending up in people dying rather than just a flag burning.
F**k it, it's sparked a reaction on here so it's probably sparked a reaction within our boardroom as well. And that can only be a good thing. Hopefully it's got the two owners and the rest of the slimy cu*ts starting to worry. If burning a flag or two gets them selling quicker, then burn flag burn.
One thing I didn't agree with though was a fella chucking a can of ale over the gates and at the ground. Didn't see any point in that and regardless of ownership, it's still our ground and I don't wanna see it be vandelised in any shape or form.
