Toon Flags Stolen AGAIN!

Last updated : 11 December 2017 By Footy Mad - Editor

Newcastle United’s fans have ONCE AGAIN seen some of their treasured flags taken from St James' Park..

But sadly some flags were taken at the end of the Leicester City match, and some fans claim some were taken BEFORE the match.

Fans also praised Gallowgate Flags on Twitter.

But, sadly, it appears some fans took flags home with them instead of leaving them in St James’ Park for the next game.

According to Gallowgate Flags, around 80 flags were missing after the Huddersfield match and many were taken on Saturday.

Gallowgate Flags posted on Twitter to condemn supporters.

Their post said: “Congratulations to all who did so much today to help out.

“Disappointing result and sad to have flags stolen.”

Apparently flags can be returned to the 'Back Page' "with no questions asked".

 ELSEWHERE .... 

Manchester City are the new favourites to win the Champions League after Paris Saint-Germain were drawn with Real Madrid.

City landed an ideal draw - against Swiss side Basel - but there was no doubting the most mouthwatering tie with the pre-draw favourites PSG matched with holders Real.

PSG are now third favourites at 5/1 with Real Madrid pushed out to 8/1 fifth favourites.

Bayern Munich, who drew Beskitas, are the new second favourites having been chopped into 9/2.

Of the five English sides in the draw, Chelsea landed the plum - and most difficult - tie. They will face Barcelona and will be at home in the first leg.

Barca are fourth favourites in the revamped market at 15/2, while Chelsea are now regarded as the least-likely English winners at 28/1.
