CANARYKING 634 Posted July 28, 2019 My two pet hates, luckily we seem to have given a drum the elbow but the ridiculous use of flares surfaced again yesterday, what is it with these idiots ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Angry 1,546 Posted July 28, 2019 I don’t mind drums as long as they’re not just being banged constantly all through the game. Flares are a different matter though-I remember one being let off in the away concourse at Selhurst Park last time we were there. It was a quite a scary atmosphere, made worse by the number of drunk people getting a bit out of control. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wcorkcanary 4,329 Posted July 28, 2019 At the Johan Cruyff Arena a few years ago ( it was called something else then) , we were at the opposite end to the F-side boyos, the roof was closed, a few thunderflashes went off at the F-side end, it was absolutely deafening, and I have first hand experience of grenades, rockets launchers and artillery. God knows what it was like for people close by to the explosions. Drums have spoilt my enjoyment of many games, ban the feckers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My local team (Lecce) racked up fines of €65,000 last season for supporter behaviour, which was almost exclusively for flares, fireworks and smoke bombs being launched onto the running track round the pitch. But the Ultras are a strange bunch and they'll never learn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
