Wor Flags issue message to fans attending AC Milan decider at SJP tonight

Wor Flags have encouraged Newcastle fans to arrive early, bring a black and white scarf and ‘raise the roof’ ahead of tonight’s Champions League clash with AC Milan.

They are hoping to create a ‘sea of black and white’ across the stadium and a display has still been planned, but they will be unable to replicate the level of display created for previous games against PSG and Dortmund due to the ‘vast clean up’ required between Thursday and Saturday’s home game against Fulham.

However, volunteers have still been hard at work placing over 1,000 new black and white flags across the stadium. ‘If you have a flag in your seat, wave it, or pass it to someone not wearing a Black and White scarf!’

Wor Flags’ message to Newcastle fans attending tonight’s game:

‘Next Wednesday – 13 December we are urging you all to BringYourScarf and create a sea of Black and White against AC Milan.

We are hoping that the sight of 49,500 black and white scarves alongside our planned display will create a sight befitting of the incredible efforts by the players, Eddie Howe and his coaching staff this season.

A disgraceful decision in Paris is all that has prevented our destiny from being in our own hands. We saw against PSG at St James’ how imposing the atmosphere can be for the opposition, so let’s use the frustration of the injustice in Paris to recreate that atmosphere and make it another magical night under the lights.

Unfortunately, due to the tight turnaround between Milan and the Fulham game we will not be able to do a full stadium display in the way we have against PSG and Dortmund given the vast clean up operation that requires.

Rest assured though, we do still have a display planned (as mentioned above) but we think this would be a perfect opportunity for the whole ground to get involved by twirling your black and white scarves.

Your response to our previous requests to #BringYourScarf has been incredible and we can’t wait to see it all over again as we look to cheer the lads on to more European football in the New Year. Hopefully that will be in the Champions League.

So please get there early, #BringYourScarf and raise the roof.

Howay the Lads’
