# Fan funded flag for Wembley BANNED by the FA

Villa suport group MyOldManSaid funded £3000 worth of supporters money to create a flag, fit to dimentions and risk assessed by both Wembley and the FA – but it has been rejected last minute by the FA for having “Arsenal” the name of there opponents on it.

Fans across the community are outraged, and have started a [Change.org campaign against the ridiculous ban](https://www.change.org/p/football-association-wembley-stadium-allow-banned-supporter-funded-flag-into-the-fa-cup-final).

MyOldManSaid suggested that “Football fans have now become nothing more than the controlled atmosphere decoration to help sell the TV product.”
