I noticed a new flag yesterday which I assume to be a loyalist flag. The Ulster hand and Rangers badge with Union Jack colours. Just wondering what the significance of this is?
I don't personally see how this or the Union Jack represents Swansea in any way. I get that plenty people identify as British but given the Union Jack is a amalgamation of each flag in the union aside from Wales why would we choose to display it in a Welsh football ground? Its almost seems welcoming to our opposition.
Do those that fly these flags not consider themselves Welsh too? Is there another political agenda at play here? Looking for an explanation of the Swansea Loyalist subculture really.

Then he should take a Rangers flag to Ibrox and a Swansea flag to the Liberty.
And drop the vile sectarianism altogether.
It's not rocket science. |
Why when you can get both on one flag?
People really got offended enough to complain?
Weird. | | | |

Apologies for bringing this to the front of the forum.
However the flag in question has been banned from the stadium. Apparently there were 100’s of complaints about it.
Me personally, I’d never complain- but the guy who owns the flag is a wannabe “hooligan” who sits in the SouthEast corner.
In my opinion as much as I dislike the Ulster/ Loyalist’s he probably should be allowed to be flying whatever flag he wants (providing its Swansea). But in reality the guys a bit of a laughing stock among the long term Swansea supporters.
Imagine a guy, mid 30’s only wears stone island to games, has a bit of banter with opposition fans then labels himself a “violent casual”- yeah one of them absolute helmets. [Post edited 16 Dec 2018 3:58]

I'm unsure why the club would ban it, and more importantly who would make that decision ? |  |

Stop it you silly sausage, you are normally one of the better posters on here. Two people in Bryncethin have clubbed together to buy a flag.
This time next season, if we stay up, a BIG if, our crowds will be double yours.

I do. I’ve got a Countryside Alliance sticker on the back of the Land Rover opposite a Swans logo.
Kiss my arse liberals, kiss my arse Cardiff. There’s a nice symmetry to it. I like it and so do the hounds.   |  |

You've got more seats, that's it.
We've taken 36,000 to Cardiff if it's all about numbers, if it is all about numbers then may I suggest you worry about your points tally instead of not selling out a stadium in your first season in the premier League, just saying like. | |

No . Our highest ever attendance was 43,500 for the play of final at Wembley. Not bad for an away game. We could have sold more but it was the same old story. Ground wasn't big enough. |  |

It’s my flag, and these long term supporters you speak of include me! Not one person asked me why I had that flag or the meaning of it!
I’m mates with an east Belfast lad who lives in Merthyr and watches Swansea and rangers! He was in the Irish riffles which was their motto!
Next time come and ask instead of hiding behind a computer calling people wannabe hooligans and helmets.
I sit in the family stand with my son and nephew hence why the flag is over there.
Too actually moan on a fans forum about a flags is absolutely pathetic when the Union Jack and Northern Ireland flag has been hung since late 80s early 90s!
The flag has been banned the liberty rung Friday afternoon! | | | |

I wouldn’t bother explaining yourself fella.
I still find it hard to believe people went to the trouble of complaining to the club.

Although I didn’t complain, it doesn’t surprise me that many people apparently did. Any flag which seems to openly condone or support religious conflict that has caused untold death and misery in our lifetimes will obviously cause offence to many, and shouldn’t be displayed at the Liberty. | | | |

Exactly it’s brilliant, obviously just another one that’s turned up since the stadium was erected!!
Like these welsh nationalist that have just appeared since the euro’s.
I’m proud to be welsh and British but now all of a sudden it’s wrong to be both now when the UJ or the NI flag wasn’t opposed to in the 90s/00s

If you’re happy and willing to repeat the conversation I’d love to know on what grounds it has been banned? | |

As for your flag, I'm glad it's banned.
Only Swansea or Welsh flags should be in the home end.
Keep the Union Jack for the English teams.
FYI I class myself as Welsh, British and with Irish heritage. | |

I bet you would get your knickers in a twist if someone hung an Irish tr-colour or a 'Swansea Bhoys' flag down there wouldn't you?
Keep bigotry and politics out of Swansea city and get behind the team. What you do outside the stadium is up to you. |  |

Nope I have very good friends who are Celtic fans and a mate who flys the tri colour with Greenhill Jacks flags down there which again isn’t opposed and rightly so!
So give it rest pal!!
