What was the curfuffle at half time with the stewards?

saw plenty of angry fans swinging punches at stewards but what triggered it?

 

Rent free etc etc.

 

Nah, I meant at from those that pretend they somehow have a superior football intellect.

 

What does ban does Bowyer get for his shi&e tactics last Saturday?

 

Aren't they always.

 

He gets an evening out with you at any restaurant of his choice.

That should do the trick.

 

I totally agree that these flares should be banned, not sure about a life ban for the fan but certainly some form of punishment should be given, think named and shamed should be posted around VP,
in addition all the Stewards should have photo ID evidence of the culprits, I used to go to all the away
games but not any more because of these issues, there seems to be a minority of unruly youths that seem to want to cause bother before during and after the games and it makes it uncomfortable for the true genuine city supporters, so I ask all those involved with flares and any form of trouble makers to think twice, it effects not only the supporters but the club can face heavy penalties so please just try and enjoy what you pay for a good game of football.

 

Jesus. State of that lot. Wonder who filmed it?

 

Watched the beginning a few times, and I've never seen coordination like it - guy in orange throws a punch at someone in front of him and hits a guy in blue at his side

If they knew what they were doing they'd be dangerous

 

You leave me out of this Rod!!

 

At 0.29 when the lad in the orange top and dark baseball cap gently pushes his mate into a steward and then at 0.40 onwards Mr Bobble hat starts shouting personal abuse and making threats of violence.

Pretty bleak viewing all round really.

 

Unfortunately these scenes are commonplace at ‘local’ away games.
Still don’t know what the steward must have done to provoke all that

 

Maybe he said to the lad wearing the bobble hat that he looked a right tw at?

 

What incidents caused a "nasty " injurty?
What is the injury per flare lit, per game, worldwide?
What is the inherent risk of inhaling flare smoke in a stand?

Give me something to go on, facts, something that'll make me think there is something more dangerous by being in a stand with a flare than, say, riding a bicycle through BD9.

The latter I do every day and I'd feel safer in a packed Bradford End with 1000 flares.

 

So we've no data then?

Personally I am fine with them before a game, not during.

As for cyling, I do cycle through an area where fireworks are discharged every single night, my legs still haven't dropped off.
