You can wear one 24/7 365 days a year if it's really is that important to you. I'm pretty sure the team can manage 90 minutes without one. Once again poppy fascism comes into play.
It's the same #e every year at this time. Remember them yes, but give us all a break from the whinging if some of us chose not to wear one.

The Football Association of Wales has decided to adhere to F.I.F.A's. doctrine of not allowing the wearing of The Poppy on their strip. The Welsh FA state they couldn't afford to pay either a fine or have a deduction of points.
Meanwhile The English and Scottish FA will go ahead and wear The Poppy and put two fingers up to F.I.F.A.
So as far as The Welsh FA is concerned, they see money or points as being more important than paying tribute to those who gave their lives during past war conflicts.
Disgusting.
