Just wanted see what people's thoughts are on pyro at football. Obviously I know it's banned. Creates good atmosphere's though.

Yep, I'm in, setting light to stuff is a great idea in a large crowd trapped in a confined space, as long as you are having fun yourself who cares if a few people get scarred or even burnt to a crisp !

Life bans for those who endanger others. Zero tolerance.

Great idea. All fun and games. Alcohol kills more people than Pyro but they still serve it.
No pyro no party

Good for atmosphere, which is lacking in quite a few football games... Since many games are quite dreary, I'm not wholly against pyro. Some clubs have supporters who would suit it, others do not.

If you need artificial props to create an atmosphere you might as well stay at home and watch Pointless.

Is it really, like actually good for atmosphere? I'll be honest it looks alright when you've got fans on the continent with thousands of them either singing, chanting or jumping in sync and a few flares are going off, but they don't necessarily need them. Their support is impressive enough on it's own. But when the likes of Everton or United let one off because they've just scored a goal away from home, it looks fucking wank. |

I've put this on here a couple of times actually Fenerbahce fans are awesome its a real shame we couldn't get something like this going but it requires loads of people to join in and i just dont think it would happen in this country. Action changes every 2 rounds led by the main stand where the ultras are and the closest you get to pyro is 5:40 odd when they get the phone lights out. 6.40 is insane when the whistling starts id imagine its a bit annoying after a few verses though but what i like the most about it is; i've always disliked how sometimes when we start a song off the other fans will join straight in to try and outsing us. We managed it a few times at anfield over Never Work Again (funny when we do it, annoying when its done to us type of scenario).
Imagine you are the away fan in this and you know full well that when this starts going for the next 10mins there is 0 point in you doing a chant because it wont be heard. at all. Must be a mix of intimidating and demoralising as hell haha! Best of all theres not hundreds of words to memorise and it could go for 30mins in a loop if you really wanted it to....so no pyro isnt needed to create an atmosphere at all.

If you're at a game feauturing the club you support and have done all your life, and you can't enjoy it without needing fire and sparkly things then it says far more about the kind of person you are than it does about anything else.
It doesn't create an atmosphere for the game, it creates a completely seperate atmosphere in the stands that has nothing to do with the game itself1! Enjoy the atmosphere created by what's going on on the pitch rather than creating an artificial atmosphere that has zero to do with the game you've paid to go and see. People (including myself) have spent decades enjoying the match without the need for fireworks and pyrotechnic displays (let alone the need for pricks to set off flares off in the stands).
Isn't needed for atmosphere at all in any way, that's just an excuse for those who aren't really interested in football as far as i'm concerned as all it does is distract from what's going on on the pitch rather than compliment it. It'd be like me going to watch a chess game and then asking if we could have strippers to "improve the atmosphere"....if i'm not interested in chess but enjoy strippers then i'll go to a strip club that simple! Likewise, if you're not excited enough by the footy on offer but are by fireworks then pay your money to go to a bloody bonfire instead of the match.

What's wrong with this instead? A bunch of English lads with a mixed ability range, out of their depth but playing their hearts out at the World Cup for the glory of the nation   |

The utter fucking cunts. |

They'd still survive though, as they keep pointing out (as it's 1 of only 2 fucking tunes they know) they are the "Self preservation society" and if necessary can call upon their "Seven nation army"  |

The guy on the right has adopted the posture I tend to take at our annual defeat at Crystal Palace played out as it is to the sound of some half wit thrashing inanely away on a big base drum, I think a small amount of semtex would be justified to take him out !

After watching Lechia Gdansk Vs Gydnia in Poland; it was very impressive when they let off all the pyro, but I was equally impressed with the atmosphere before they set it all off. Their equivalent of the Boothen End with everyone standing up, jumping and none stop singing for 90 minutes was brilliant.
I've said before maybe an idea to see if there was demand for a designated section like Block 19 & 20, where people who want to create that sort of ultras/fanatics atmosphere are told to get tickets in that area - Middlesbrough and Huddersfield are good examples of what can be achieved, as they have done similar.
I agree, pyro shouldn't be used in the grounds though.

Give them some sheet music to use so they can actually stay in time with each othe and their heads will implode instantly, thus negating the need for any nasty explosive materials in the ground |

Pyrotechnics wouldn't work.
These days they would only use it to hit the opponent's fans.

What if there was a fire and somebodies been pissing around with the extinguisher? Fucking stupid. Not to mention people not wanting to get sprayed by it (including children). There's no defence of it. Absolutely stupid. |
