They are behind the goal on the left side of the screen. It's like their singing section and they've got England flags with badges and writing on some of them. What's that all about? Anyone know??

Not the reason why though, St. George is the patron saint for Catalonia.

This^^ San Jordi in Catalan which is why the cross of St George is on the badge. Also patron of Milan and they also use the same cross on the badge and on the away shirt itself

Wrong this I'm afraid. Joan Gamper founded Barca, I found this out when I went over there for our friendly with them and we won the 'Juan Gamper trophy'. Really good museum on their stadium tour maps out the history of the club etc.

He was Swiss by the way.
