[Archived] Question about Bournemouth Away

[CaliRoverNYC]

Hello,

I am traveling from NYC for the Bournemouth Away fixture. I've got a mate sorting tickets out and I have train travel booked but I have a question about the away section. I have a 6 ft by 10 ft New York Rovers flag that I want to bring to the match but I don't know who to contact either at Bournemouth or at Rovers about making sure it is allowed in. It would be a shame to bring it all the way over just to have it confiscated. Does anyone have any experience bringing in flags of similar size? Who should I talk to about making sure that i'll be allowed inside with it?

Thanks for your help,

Jay

Sorry I can't help, but I hope you pull it off, as that will look glorious on MOTD!

By the way is there still a sports bar in New York with Rovers pictures on the wall?

Our Home bar has a few Rovers scarves and Jerseys hanging up but they are in the midst of a bunch of memorabilia from other clubs as well. There are quite a few supporters clubs that call Legends home though, and for the most part we all get along.

and thank you I have emailed Bournemouth, and I'm waiting for a reply.

A few people take flags into the ground and lay them on seats. I think if its not on a 10ft flagpole you'd probably be ok!

[Ben-2000]

Yes, most grounds allow them as long as there is room. I'm not sure what they layout of Bournemouth is, but i'm sure they'd be able to sort something.

On a side note, NYC Rovers old and slightly smaller flag has been sent over and will be displayed behind the Darwen End goal this season. Hope to see the new one at Ewood too, as you will definately get it in there

[CaliRoverNYC]

Ben, the new one will be coming to Ewood, on Boxing day when Steven comes out for the holiday.

[Ben-2000]

Excellent. Give me a shout if you need any help.

[CaliRoverNYC]

will do, thanks everyone.

I had a trip to the Legends bar in October 2011 for the Rovers v Norwich game and met a couple of the guys there who were more than welcoming. It was more than surreal watching Rovers at first 9am, but secondly in the shadow of the Empire State Building!

Enjoy your trip over fella!

Great work Cali and i hope you pull it off buddy

[CaliRoverNYC]

Thanks to everyone for the help, I have been told that it's ok to bring the flag to Dean Court and the head of security there has told me I will be allowed to display it so long as there is room.
