Wor Flags paid tribute to Allan Saint-Maximin before Newcastle United took on Crystal Palace at St James’ Park. The Frenchman was the focus of the group’s latest display on The Gallowgate.
A golden number 10 and a flag of the Frenchman were flown by fans in the moments before the game kicked off. Newcastle were looking for their sixth home win in a row, a feat not achieved since 2004 under Sir Bobby Robson.
Volunteers from the group were working long into Tuesday evening to ensure the display went up without a glitch. Hundreds of gold foil flags were placed on seats, while others went around all sides of the ground placing black and white flags on seats.
