Which is an actual concern isn't it. No its not. Terrorists plan their attacks they don't just rock hoping to get their gear into their target.

The young Wednesday fan hit in the face by a Flare from the Blunts, at that family club. Ban em. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not an argument obviously, because they might just be sat there watching 90,000 fans on television at Wembley thinking you know what, they got that lot in so they're obviously not doing checks.

It only takes something small to start a panic or evacuation, then they hit them as they leave with something bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A sensible terrorist (if you can have such a thing) would think but how many were found outside the ground at the check points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlBiSeeinThi Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Flares should not be in the possession of fans full stop. If it adds to the atmosphere though, why not have club employees dotted around setting them off in a safe and controlled manner at strategic locations around the ground. Just take the idiots out of the equation, you'll still have the atmosphere. Obviously no good travelling away, but better than nowt at home.

They definitely add to the atmosphere of the big games but when it’s some idiot chucking them about it’s dangerous. I watched the display that the Frankfurt fans put on before the second leg against West Ham, and it was brilliant, but at the same time was obviously done properly with co-operation from the club. Lobbing them on the pitch - NO Properly organised display - YES The first sensible answer! These marine flares burn can burn at something like 1,600 degrees C. By comparison, your medium/well done steak cooks in four or five minutes per side at around 240C. Not sure about smoke bombs although inhaling the smoke can cause injury. Having said that, if there is room and properly supervised area, go ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So instead of just letting them off our fans should help each other out and warm each other’s pies up with them? Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pies at Hillsborough are already hotter than the sun. They are in need of flavour, content and texture rather than more outright heat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
