Arena denies ban on flag flying for football
Mitchells & Butlers, owner of Arena Pubs, has denied media reports this morning that the chain will be banning the St George Cross flag during Euro 2004 this summer.
A spokesperson told Leisure Opportunities: “Mitchells & Butlers is an English company proud of its heritage, proud of its patron Saint and proud of the England football team.
“During the Euro 2004 football tournament Mitchells & Butlers outlets will be supporting the team with parties and promotions and a great atmosphere for guests.
“We obviously want all our guests to feel welcome whether they are football fans or not and therefore we ask our managers to give some thought as to how they display flags and other Euro 2004 merchandise.
“We have in no way banned the St. George's Cross; in fact Mitchells & Butlers will be flying the flag in its pubs during the tournament.” Details: www.mbplc.com
