FURTHER UPDATE: The Club's Chief Safety Officer has called me this afternoon and told me that, though I have been allowed to hang by banners between U4 and U5 since the opening of the Main Stand in 2016, I will no longer be permitted to do so. 1/
My @wataru0209 banner has been confiscated on the way into Turnstile S today by a Mr Paul Hudson & an @LFC steward named Terry #37. The grounds stated were that the FA has issued a blanket ban on "nationalistic flags" at all stadia. 1) A national flag is not "nationalistic" 2)...

For context, I have a standing arrangement with the stewards to fly my banners in the same spot where I have shown them since the Main Stand opened. They are all fire certified and have the proper permissions. This is the flag.

Bizarre situation, having to argue with @LFChelp@LFC stewards on my way in to be able to display a banner in support of our 2nd goalscorer @wataru0209#Endo in the same spot where I have hung my flags every game for the last 7 years. @LFC
UPDATE| The family of 15-year-old Jessica Baker who sadly died following a collision on the #M53 in #Wirral this morning (Friday 29 Sept) have issued a photograph.
Junctions 3-5 of the M53 remain closed and motorists are advised to avoid the area and seek alternative routes.
UPDATE: You may have seen reported that the club have apologised to me. This is NOT the case. They apologised only for the grounds stated. They have now withdrawn permission for ANY of my flags to be flown in the Main Stand. 1/
Honoured to have two of my creations on the Kop for the closed-doors games. Many thanks to @soccrinthecity for organising it all and to the volunteers who have made the #Kop look so amazing. @LFCTV@lfc@LivEchoLFC
UPDATE ON SITUATION WITH LFC 🧵
You may recall that, some time ago, my Endo banner was refused entry to Anfield, and subsequently permission for all my banners to hang in the Main Stand was withdrawn due to their dimensions. @spiritofshankly then took up my case. [1/7]
