There were angry scenes outside the England vs Wales stadium tonight after every flag was checked and measured before the match.
The official “flags and banners evaluation area” was set up and manned by six security guards. Anyone taking footage of the flags being measured was asked to delete it.
Furious supporters claimed they had been allowed to take their banners into earlier games but not this one. Max Thomas, 27, was allowed to take his Coventry city flag in. He said: “It took me five minutes but I got it in.”
