Put Out More Flags

 Sydney Cricket Ground 1914 - early adopter

Fantasy Bob understands the following guidance is being prepared for immediate issue to all cricket clubs in the United Kingdom. 

• The Union Flag is the symbol of the nation which brought cricket to the world.  It is clear that without the Union Flag cricket would never have been invented. Cricket clubs therefore need to get real and follow this guidance in the coming season

• Where cricket clubs only have one flagpole, the Union Flag should be flown every day.

• Where cricket clubs have more than one flagpole, and two flags are being flown, the Union Flag must always be flown in the superior position which is either:
• the highest flagpole, or
• the flagpole nearest where tea is likely to served

• It may be possible to fly more than one flag on the same flagpole if there is enough space. If so, the Union Flag should always fly on top (‘in the superior position’).

• Cricket club flagpoles should not remain empty.  

• Where other flags are flown they should be such as to promote cricketers’ pride (see below).

• On no occasion, even when winning a league or cup title should non-flag items be flown. Particularly not articles of clothing. Far less articles that are recognisably underwear such as the skipper’s jock-strap.
