Quote kingdowieonthewall at 18 Jul 2014 7.43pm you've failed to consider that possibly the H.fanatics have just used it as a 'rebel' flag & not considered or even don't know the history of the flag. Yep, that was my understanding. It actually wasn't flown as a standalone flag; it was a small part of a banner. It was red and blue and was construed as denoting Palace as rebels and underdogs. But they are aware now, and, to their credit, readily agreed to drop it when they understood the significance and how it might be detrimental to the club's reputation.

How many times does it have to be said that most people think the HF didn't understand the connotations but have now been told by the club. Has to be said more than a few times. This fact gets lost in the reams of mostly irrelevant historical interpretations, professions of flag love, windups, and infringements on personal freedom of expression arguments in this thread. However, think we're making progress. Seems like we should just be waving a red and blue flag with a very large eagle on it. Edited by MikeT (18 Jul 2014 8.47pm)

[Link] Oh well, I thought it was an interesting discussion about the the personal right of expression versus offence that groups might take to the flag.. It is of course legal to fly this flag....But despite how you phrase your post I never stated a desire to fly it myself....As I say it's about another person's right of expression. It's a fact that the flag means different things to different people. Some people objected, others agreed and some sat on the fence so you description of the thread is highly myopic.

This thread is about flying a flag at Selhurst and the impression this gives to the rest of the World. The Swaztica, like the confederate rag is a flag. It's not a completely different argument. The point being asked about is whether people should be happily allowed to fly any flag they wish and that's the issue I'm addressing. If you are stating they should be able to than that includes the swatztica. As you say they have a difference of opinion and assume it is ok to do so. Ok do it then and the image this gives of our club? You're ok with that? I hope not
