Tinmans Love Child

When’s the Bristol derby….oh

Yeh Avoriaz is great too, stayed there on our last ski trip in 2018, white out nearly every day! Les Dues Alpes is worth a look as it’s a glacier so you can ski in summer!

I’ve not been for a few years (really miss it) we love Morzine, only 1 hour transfer from Geneva, you can be skiing by lunch if you get an early flight!

Bansko in Bulgaria was ridiculously cheap, an Irish Pub picked 4 of us up from our hotel, took us to the pub, we had 3 courses and loads of drinks, then they dropped us back, £10 each! And this was only 6/7 years ago. Not a patch on the alps for skiing mind!

At last some clarification! Good work! So does the term “pyrotechnic” include the smoke canisters or is that just the flares/firework types?

I’m not, this isn’t complicated! If the banning reason is breathing then pyro should be banned from all events. If the banning reason is football fans being tossers literally then that means breathing isn’t the reason

Some Googling suggests that pyro are legal to buy and own if over 18, however cannot be let off in public places unless you have some form of permission. I went to a wedding last week and they set loads of them off for the photo shoot, no police turned up to arrest anyone, so assume they asked the hotel and they were fine with it. I guess in theory if fans got the clubs permission to set off pyros, and the club gave permission, then it would be perfectly legal and above board. The club on certain games have those flame throwers going off which arnt much different to pyros. I wonder if at concerts they have caveats in the T&Cs that allow pyros?

It’s not, the point I was replying to was that they pyros are so say banned at football because they impact peoples breathing, people also breath at concerts, therefore why are they not banned at concerts. Keep up

Ok, that’s fine, but if that’s the reason then why are they seemingly allowed at concerts but not football?

Do they get lobbed because if you get caught with one you get a 3 year ban, whereas if that wasn’t the punishment you might just keep hold of it?

Yet at the Liam Gallagher gigs recently, one of which was inside the Etihad, there were countless smoke flares/pyros going off throughout and there was no issue at all with this. Why are pyros not allowed in a football ground when football is on but they are allowed in a football ground for a concert? Surely H&S is the same regardless of event?

Well that’s defo a horrible shirt, even if Ravanelli is wearing it!

I’ve got some sealant in the garage you can use no worries

For me these are nothing games, couldn’t care less If we won or lost, it’s al about the tournaments and Southgate has had 2 good ones already, so I reckon we will do ok

You seem to be suggesting that the East End was built in order to elucidate working class cultures, which of course it wasn’t, it was built cheaply to simply allow fans to see what was happening on the pitch. The cultures and sub cultures then evolved from there, but that wasn’t the original intention. Some of those cultures already exist within the fan base, and naturally will relocate to the South Stand, also evolving into other sub cultures not yet thought of. In fact the new generation of more affluent fan will no doubt change the definition of a football fan in years to come.

That’s me in the spotlight…

Agreed, the nostalgia with the east end is understandable for those who stood/sat in it, but future generations in 50 years will feel the same about the South Stand when the club decides to knock it down and make it bigger

As per title, fair play to him after his stint at Rovers which was pretty poor, he did pretty well at Swindon and has stepped up

?

Brunel is a sh*thead Brunel is a sh*thead La la la la

Ironically one of the Sanderson shirts had a very pointless collar which could be folded inside the shirt

Same as every single kit launch then! It doesn’t matter what you do, it will be marmite. To reinvent the wheel of a red shirt season after season whilst merging all of the individual opinions fans have about it is an impossible task!

You need to let go of that hate brother
