Is it just me, or are flags at the footy on the way out?
Cheersquads back in the day (70's and 80's) used to be massive and consist of a lot of colour and contain heaps of flags and those big pom pom things (sorry, no idea what they call those things they shake over the fence in the front rows).
I still remember the cheer squads would occasionally sit in the upper deck of the great southern stand of the MCG. They were such a unique and great spectacle of going to the footy when younger.
I also remember the really big flags that some would have. You see them at telecasts of the NRL. Anyway, I used to see these three or four guys in their 20's or so, mid 80's, that had these massive over-sized and original Fitzroy flags. I always wondered what happened to these fellas.
I used to use a flag. But as I got older I felt like a tosser, so I've put it away for good, leave the flags to the kids I say. Just tell the parents to keep em' in check.
The kids still have plenty of flags at the Eagles games. As a matter of fact, so do the oldies. The oldies (50+) that are made keen seem to love the flags. Obviously some just like to chill and have a champagne, but many really get into it.

Same with me.I used to use a flag. But as I got older I felt like a tosser, so I've put it away for good, leave the flags to the kids I say. Just tell the parents to keep em' in check.
Messages on Hold signs don't count as flags. .
