Yay, lets just ban anything remotely fun and capable of generating an atmosphere. The atmosphere is TOXIC.

The nanny state strikes again. We'll be wrapped up in cotton wool soon. Cotton wool is the last thing you want to be wrapped in if one of these dickheads let’s a flare off next to you.

I admit to taking flares onto the Boothen end on many occasions. I am not proud of my actions,especially wearing the corderoy ones if I'm honest,but I never tried to conceal them. I guess my cool demeanor and Hai Karate after shave saw me by pass security with ease.
I also wore platform shoes and shirts with massive collars.
Ok I looked a bit of a cunt,but that was the fashion of the day.
So what's the fuss all about?

Pyros should be both fined and jailed for their utter stupidity. I'd cane these moronic fuckers, if I had my way.

I think I also read the FA are trying to cut out the post match pitch invasion which has become de rigeur after all play off matches across the divisions.I guess it's increasingly a generation who don't remember the fences coming down and how fans were put on trust not to abuse it.
Not really going to effect us then ...
I notice they haven't included the possibility of supporters storming the Directors Boxes after another season of discontent. So that's still on.....

I’m all for pitch invasions but they have to be at the right time.
Getting to a play off final isn’t justification for a pitch invasion.
Staying up, can be. Last day great escape type job - go for it.
Promotion - absolutely
Massive cup upset ie none league beating Man City - definitely
And I think on the whole before last season fans did stick to a kind of hierarchy of it. But like all things dickheads have ruined that.

This is nothing new. Pros and Flares have been illegal for some time.
When folk get prosecuted it usually leads to banning orders.
Just don’t take them. It’s simple.
There’s plenty that can be done to generate atmosphere at football matches that doesn’t involves acting like a dickhead.
In fact- the dickheads who go to football are the ones who continue to ruin it for everyone- and always have.
Stoke have their fair share of dickheads- who usually come out at away games- who think attending a football match gives you licence to act like an utter bellend.

It's an attention seeking thing I think - everything is a competition for the youth of today, largely driven by social media. Basically who can 'one up' everyone else. You even saw it with the 'clap for the NHS' as well. First week, just clapping. By the third week people were banging pots and pans and by the fifth week you even had nob-heads setting off fireworks (apt).

I liked seeing them in big Champions League games. Setting one off because you've gone 1-0 up to Rotherham is a bit wank.

Some miserable people on here, really getting me in the mood for Saturday.
I like flares personally, I wouldn't take one because I know it upsets other people and that's fair enough.
As for the 'dick heads contingency at away games' notion, it's a complete Oatcake myth as far as I'm concerned.
I'd be naive to say there's never been any incident but by and large it really isn't a day of throwing pints over each other in the concourse as some people on here would have you believe.
If you want to avoid trouble, you can quite easily.

I know what you are saying there but I think when your team gets promoted the emotion takes over doesn't it? Look when we went up against Leicester there was no way that pitch wasn't getting filled at the final whistle, it was years of shit all ended in one beautiful moment.
