It was the 6 year old kid that got made to take it in, police and stewards can't or won't search them that's the only way I can think how these things get into the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musn't Grumble Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Not wanting to be a killjoy here but then again, these things are pretty hot (a marine flare burns at up to 1600C; about ten times hotter that the heat needed to grill your bacon). Folks have been killed and seriously injured when these items have been let off or thrown into a crowd so it's a bit surprising to learn that arrests and prosecutions don't appear to be high on the list of priorities for the authorities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 So weird that people need to create a loud bang in order to fully enjoy a goal being scored. What else do they do this for. Pay day? Orgasm? Tea being ready? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As usual the stewards were out of order, treating football fans like animals. Not that I’m condoning the firework incident but there was no need for the way the stewards dealt with my brother and spoke to me when questioning why he’d been frog marched onto the concourse.

Think the police have a low view of stewards amateurs acting like they know what they are doing. Can See it now chief steward tells his staff look out for male in away end wearing blue and white.

Road Runner Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Seems to be the in thing at the moment taking fireworks in the ground wasn’t there some at the derby outside the ground last week too. Just ordered a Catherine wheel for the south stand. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthowl Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I found the recent trip to New York stadium amusing. Before the match, much was said about the police having sniffer dogs on duty. So I wasn't too surprised to find barriers limiting access to the away end turnstyles, requiring fans to pass single file past said dogs. As I had plenty of time, I strolled along the away end towards the river and the other set of barriers where a couple of stewards were letting fans past. No cops, no dogs, potentially lots of pyro. I wondered, yet again, at the competence of SYP. Maybe the police are the same at Bolton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspector Lestrade Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Getting searched at QPR back in the 80's I think it was, a massive queue was formed for the most attractive policewoman in London. Not the most interesting post ever but I thought I'd throw into the pot. She was very attractive though a beautiful smile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littleowl74 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Sorry for my ignorance but what are these things? Heard them at pigs match and they are so loud. Seem much louder than a regular firework. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Snooty Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Bandits in my opinion. They want arresting. Don't care if thst makes me a miser or not I remember a firework getting released at Cardiff arms park many years ago at the end of a World cup qualifier. It whistled right across the pitch from one stand to the other and hit a man in the face, exploding and killing him. Maybe they'd think twice if they'd seen the aftermath of something like that.
