it it true the visitors national anthem was not played?
Why & was this 'reciprocated' at Lansdown Road? I am familiar with the 'politics' but surely this was controvertial at the time. Has this ever happened with any other countries?

When North Korea played South Korea in a World cup qualifier last month the game was moved to China because the North Koreans refused to play the South Korean anthem on their soil.
