It does not matter about other Countries as they are illegal in stadiums here. Illegal. and fans as well as BCFC Bristol Sport do not like them. If these wannabe Ultras like them so much go abroad.

Phileas Fogg Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 I knew there'd be a thread moaning about this.. looks like it was posted whilst the game was going on too! Obviously there was going to be that sort of thing today - people in high spirits being first day of the season, flag day and good weather means people will be drinking pretty early and in a boisterous mood. In my opinion it's a real shame that clubs/H&S is so draconian about it in this country. Would be good if they invented a version that gives off the colour but wasn't supposedly "hazardous" - water vapour maybe? Think they're great personally and made the great atmosphere even better.

I think it adds to the atmosphere and don't understand why the club and the police have such a problem with it. I certainly didn't see anyone coughing or struggling to see, and I did have a good look round as it drifted round the stadium. In many stadiums abroad it would be unheard of not to have flares, everyone is so precious and PC and H&S to ridiculous extremes here it seems.

lenred Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 We've had that fantastic performance today, best start to a season for a good while with a great atmosphere to boot and all some people want to take away from the day is the crime of a bit of red smoke being let off. Need to lighten up I reckon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS10 RED Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 I think it adds to the atmosphere, take away the pyro's you may as well take away the flags also and the singing section. Its all part of the package of modern football which i agree ain't great in all aspects but this adds to the experience. How many of us have slated teams like Fulham with there clappers things do we really wanna go down that route of being plain and boring. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHIPLEY RED Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 I don't agree it added to the atmosphere at all. What I can't understand is what security are doing letting this sort of device into the stadium. These flares are fairly harmless but if you can smuggle them in what else could get in. Maybe OTT but with recent terrorists attacks better safe than sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
