BTRFTG Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 Here's an idea. Why not have Section 82 police their own? If you value standing up and singing songs do just that (in safety) and should some F'wit put those values at risk by smuggling in banned items then sort themselves out yourself, pronto. Make it clear such behaviour is not acceptable, that it's dangerous, punishes fellow supporters and the club and let's focus on what we all want, being able to watch a successful City side go about it's business.

The word alone insinuates some kind of grave misdemeanour bordering on murder. The lad had a couple of beers, wanted to rev up the atmosphere that we often moan about lacking at AG. I'm sure he would be horrified knowing that some bloke had a health issue related to his actions. The point that the club have cocked up the seating arrangements is valid, whether you like it or not. Where there is a lively bunch, things like this will happen. And maybe my moral compass is askew, but I still don't understand the outrage that has followed what is a minor incident involving one person? He did not rampage into the disabled section causing harm to other city on purpose. The witch hunt and horror is absurd. And I'm gutted to have upset Julie, but yeah, there are bigger issues to worry about than one smoke bomb / flare or whatever it was. You haven’t upset me don’t worry. i think you are right about in the end , so many bigger issues to worry about at the moment in general than one smoke bomb at a football match .

Tinmans Love Child Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 If somebody from the disabled section chucks a flare at the S82 section at the next game will there be calls to move S82 to a safer part of the ground? In my personal experience, those with disabilities tend to want to be treated the same as anyone else, and the club clearly understands this by having so many disabled sections across different parts of the ground I.e. so those who require those sections have a good choice. To suggest that putting a disabled section next to S82 was inconsiderate or whatever is completely discriminatory. Disabled people have just as much right to be there as anyone else. The only issue with all of this is that somebody took a flare into the ground (not allowed) and then chucked it in the disabled section. That person is at fault nobody else.

I don't think anyone was saying that flares, smoke bombs or anything else are required for a good atmosphere - but I've been at some games, especially away games, where it's definitely helped though. I've also been at plenty of games without any pyro where the atmosphere has also been great. There's obviously problems with using them, as shown Saturday, but in my own experience there's been times when a flare or smokebomb has boosted the atmosphere a notch.

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 Not City related but I see that Pride Park evacuated last night owing to a flare in the away concourse. Pregame, didn't affect kickoff time etc. Unsure if it was let off or merely found- if the latter perhaps was discarded/dropped and when found treated as a suspicious device or whatever- but shows an element of the problems they can cause.

Yes they are 100% it's just they enjoy the day different to others. Exactly the same way as when singers say people who dont sing aren't fans or when people who cause trouble aren't fans.

JulieH Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 I can confirm it was a very loud ‘ banger’ type firework unlawful reckless and without any consideration or thought to other city or stoke fans. cctv enquiries continuing with stoke city F.C. what a shame that on a day celebrating another away win this appears to be the main talking point. There is no excuse at all, doesn’t take a genius to work out a very loud bang inside a bowl shaped stadium will cause issues with more susceptible persons such as the young/ elderly and vulnerable . I genuinely don’t understand it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
