As many of you will know, last November the She Wore a Yellow Ribbon banner disappeared from its place in the North-East corner of the stadium.
When we noticed its absence, we contacted the club to understand why. The club informed us that the high winds of the time had damaged our banner as well as others around the stadium.
This was 2nd incarnation of the She Wore a Yellow Ribbon banner, and had replaced the original banner that was taken down in 2018 due to wear and tear.
The first banner had been in place ever since Arsenal carried out their “Arsenalisation” of the ground a couple of years after the stadium was built.
The club ran a competition on Facebook to design stadium banners, with those that received the most votes getting created and put up in the ground. Thanks to our loyal following, we won the competition and the She Wore a Yellow Ribbon banner was paid for and created by the club.
When we were informed that the first banner was no longer fit for purpose, that club explained that supporters and supporters clubs now had to pay for their banners, and that if we wanted to have a replacement we would need to finance it. A quick bit of crowd funding and the 2nd banner was paid for and installed.
We were concerned when the banner went missing in November. Whilst we also noticed other banners had been removed, it coincided with a lot more overseas supporters club banners going up. We wondered if this was part of a move by the club to reduce how many Arsenal banners were on the stands, and increase those that recognised supporters from around the world.
After discussions with Mark Brindle, Arsenal Supporters Liason Officer, our worries were addressed and we began working on the new design ready to be installed for the new season. We can now reveal that design!
The new banner will be in please for the new season, and as always we would love to share your photos. So if you are in the ground and notice it, ensure to tag us in your pictures.
We would like to thank Marc who has designed the newest banner and our previous version. Mark Brindle, who worked with us on ensuring our space was left empty ahead of a replacement banner being made, also deserves a shout out.
She Wore a Yellow Ribbon. Back the at the Emirates!
