Flag Policy

Derby County wants an exciting atmosphere at all home games at Pride Park Stadium and encourages all fans to bring flags, banners and large ‘Surfing’ flags, however these must adhere to our guidelines:

- The flag/banner is manufactured to British Standards and has been certified as fire retardant.

- The flag/banner is displayed in a suitable location and does not obstruct LED advertising, signage, exit routes, restrict the views of other supporters or in any way compromise the safe operation of the stadium.

- The flag/banner should be presented to the matchday stewards and safety team prior to entry to Pride Park Stadium where they will be inspected for compliance with the guidelines.

- The club reserves the right to confiscate any flags/banners brought into the ground that have not been approved prior to entry.

- The content of the flag/banner cannot be derogatory, nor should it contain any language or wording deemed to be potentially inflammatory or offensive to any individual or group. Additionally, defamatory, political or offensive slogans will not be permitted.

- The use of surfers or surfer-style banners designed to be passed over supporters’ heads will not be allowed after kick-off.

- Any surfers or banners brought into the stadium without being approved by the Stadium Operator will be confiscated.

- A register of banners and surfers which meet fire safety criteria will be kept by the Stadium Operator and Matchday Director.

- A copy will be given to the Safety Officer to assist stewards in assessing approved articles.

- The Stadium Operator reserves the right to change this policy as it deems fit or as required by the Local Authority, Football Authorities or any other body that helps to determine the safety of spectators at the Stadium.

- Whilst the Stadium Operator endeavours to take good care of banners and surfers that are brought into the Stadium, it accepts no responsibility for any loss or damage that may occur at any time.

Specification:

- The flagpole should be no bigger than 7mm in diameter and 1000mm in length.

- The flagpole material should be plastic and rounded/ covered at each end.

- Any item above the area of 60cm x 100cm must be flame retardant and have a fire safety certificate to prove so, provided in advance of matchday.

- Supporters wishing to introduce larger/surfer flags and banners must contact the Supporter Liaison Officer and Matchday Director in advance via [email protected] and must be presented at least three working days before matchday with the appropriate fire certification.
