just copy n paste it, might get more of a response

Pyro is popular in Europe where health and safety isn't taken as seriously as it is over here. Look at this from Greece:



Pyro isn't used in large numbers in British matches but it is used frequently. We have seen it from away fans at The Globe and previously by ourselves. Even the big clubs like a bit of pyro, Liverpool in particular are frequent users at away matches. We have already had a large thread on here about pyro. Some would argue it improves the atmosphere whilst others are concerned about the risks it poses.

If Morecambe was like that picture I wouldn't go.

Drinking on a coach going to a football match is illegal, but we all happily Ignore that

Do we? As I understand it, it's permitted until 2 hours prior to kick off and after an hour following the end of the game.

you could argue this topic refelcts why there's a lack of atmosphere at home games, and fans being boring.

There was a good atmosphere yesterday, without smoke bombs...

Agree entirely John.

What's the point of the bloody things?

Aside from them giving those in the crowd with asthma breathing problems.

Oh yes, and our ball boys having to be moved away from the away end in the Carlisle fixture for their own safety due to their knob heads chucking the blessed things onto the pitch

You might not but plenty have in the past. My point is just because its the law, it doesnt mean it right. Its absolute nonsense, no logic behind it whatsoever.

So you mean "ignored". Cool, no probs!

The Chairman on the FL has taken a very dim view on Pyros and has promised to stamp them out.

Going O/T slightly, our new firm must have an average age of 13. Had the misfortune of walking behind them as they made their way between the church and Langridge for a bit of "scrapping".
