Wor Flags – Updated plan for Newcastle United Carabao Cup final at Wembley | OneFootball

One of the countless positives of the departure of Mike Ashley, was of course the return of Wor Flags to matches.

The pre-match flag displays once again part of the matchday routine.

Ahead of the first home match of the 2022/23 season, Wor Flags invited all fans to consider helping them with future flag displays by setting up a regular monthly donation to assist in funding them. See below how to get involved.

Wor Flags have now updated their / our (Newcastle fans plan for Wembley after the excellent Sir Bobby Robson inspired display (see below) on Saturday at St James’ Park.

Their announcement of 13 February 2023 is below, but here is the update /addition today – 20 February 2023:

“We were completely overwhelmed by your response to the #BringYourScarf campaign for our Carabao Cup games against Leicester and Southampton.

“St James’ Park looked absolutely incredible and when the scarves have been twirling it has really helped to build the atmosphere and roar the team on to the final.

“As fans we need to do everything we can to make Wembley a home from home for the lads next Sunday.

“To do this we’re asking everyone lucky enough to have a ticket to #BringYourScarf to Wembley.

“You’ll see that we do already have a display planned (see below) which will take place before the game. For this there will be something on everyone’s seat and we’re going to need your cooperation to create a spectacular sight to welcome the players onto the pitch.

“It would also be amazing to see as many black and white shirts and scarves as possible making their way down Wembley way next Sunday and see those scarves twirling again during the game.

“Safe travels to all making their way down.

“Lets make this a weekend we’ll never forget.

“Howay the lads.”

Via their social media accounts, Wor Flags ahead of the Carabao Cup final against Manchester Utd at Wembley – 13 February 2023:

“We can confirm there will be a display at Wembley Stadium in the Newcastle end at the League Cup final.

“The display will involve every Newcastle supporter in attendance.

“Due to the short turnaround between the second leg of the Semi-Final and the Final itself, fundraising for the main part of the display would have been extremely difficult in order to place the order in time, so we are absolutely delighted that Newcastle United have agreed to provide significant funding towards the display.

“When the lads walk out at Wembley they deserve to be met by a fantastic sight they often get at St James’ Park, and we are thrilled that Newcastle United are helping to make it a reality.

“We will be providing our own flags and banners to add to the display which should make it an unbelievable sight.

“If you are able to donate to a Wembley display, please do (details HERE on how to donate).

“Out sincere thanks goes to Newcastle United for their support with this.

“It highlights perfectly the developing relationship between fans and the club.

“Tell me ma, we’re going to Wembley!”
