Because there is clearly little or no checks being done as people enter the stadiums across the country, because how the fizz do they walk in with flares and not get stopped. If you can conceal a flare, whose to say they are not concealing a knife or worse. Totally agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nero Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 In AD 59, there was a riot in the Pompeii amphitheatre, in which spectators from Pompeii and the nearby town of Nuceria fought each other after invading the arena, with the result that the Emperor Nero banned games at Pompeii for a period of ten years. I had a go at it. Didnt work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rules are there for a reason. To stop things like this happening. Yes it was one div that did it, but he got on because everyone else ran on. I guarantee this incident doesn’t happen if everyone stays in the stands. simple. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a go at it. Didnt work. And 20 years later they were punished for it. The theory is the riot and the volcanic eruption were linked, but that's not set in stone.

mildatheart67 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Judge not messing about with the thug from Nottingham.

Nero Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Im not condoning the Billy Sharp attack, cokehead aggression or general thuggery but its part of the football culture in 2022. Lock em up when caught. My vague point on Pompeii though is that pitch invasions gave been part of sporting rivalry for well over 2000 years. Going to football is tribal, edgy, occasionally frightening and sometimes genuinely dangerous. Thats what football is and always has been since it was invented. I like it that way and i for one dont want those things to go from the football experience just because a new breed of football fan wants a nice boring generic entertainment event rather than a football match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
