    Go for it. As long as it doesn't obscure anyone else's view or hinder their enjoyment on the night.

    I'll be bringing my Welsh flag as usual... looks good on a barrier, and also makes a lovely cloak at the end of the night ;)

    Yes, I have been to some Pearl Jam concerts. Several of them.

    yeah, I'd say the same. don't block anyone's view and it'll be fine. :)

    it's not about the size necessarily, it's how you use it. ;)

    :p

    I liked Ed at Reading going through all the different countries' flags

    this shows you a difference between english people and irish people.

    before the Dublin gig this very question was asked by an Englishman and he asked of he could bring the Union Jack.... lets just say the Irish responses were not favourable ;)

    thankfully the english people on here/at the gig probably couldnt give a fuck, most likely 75% of them will think its a faded italian flag or summat anyway



    i'll be wearing my Scotland t-shirt :):)
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    why don't we all bring Belgian flags as a coded way of asking for Black, Red, Yellow...?
    Oh yeah? Well, I've had about enough of morons and halfwits, dolts, dunces, dullards and dumbbells - and you chowderhead yokel, you blithering hayseed, you - you've had enough of me?

    The view of the person waving the flag doesn't have their own view obscured, just the poor buggers behind. Leave it at home!

    nothing too bad... it was Byrnzie who asked if he should bring it and i think the reply was something along the lines of... maybe not go down to well, history and all that..

    i dont think anyone would have got hurt but i've seen Glasgow Rangers fans come home from a match covered in bruises for waving a Union Jack flag in Ireland.

    Someone held up a flag in front of me during the Even flow solo in Dublin. I was surprised how much it hacked me off.

    Bring a small one ;)

Neil Delamare replied: that's cos you'd be racist! :D It was fucking hilarious, they gave him so much shit.
    The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
    Verona??? it's all surmountable
    Dublin 23.08.06 "The beauty of Ireland, right there!"
    Wembley? We all believe!
    Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
    Chicago 07? And love
    What a different life
