Najjer 2,890 Posted April 3, 2017 well done professor as ive said in an earlier post i have 2 pairs of glasses but i still cannot see where it states the Confederate Flag is banned from the stadium by the management any chance you could highlight that line for me thank you The word 'banned' isn't actually used - however, the following line 'In addition, we felt that given certain tragic events which took place in America last year, it would be insensitive of us to continue using the Confederate Flag as the club logo...' would lead me to think if I wanted to wave that flag around at a speedway track, it is not to be associated with Somerset speedway. So if as the promotion has clearly stated they no longer wish to be associated with that flag and given the reputation it has amongst some people, why would someone go to a speedway track and wave it about? Seems idiotic to me. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
