Name and shame the Twit and maybe the other shit for brains will stop doing it ............. I thought someone actually set it off from the lower tier ............. but to launch it from that height is fooking shocking let’s hope they get the Twit

 

Huge debate on FB about it being a flare or a smoke bomb, and trying to justify the difference! Facepalm.

 

That's FB for you!

 

I was sat about 10 rows back in block K near the aisle with block L and the flare went over my head into the bottom tier.
It definitely came from the back of block K where they were all stood up.
Fecking idiot.

 

Hope Bradford City get fined for this. Which we will won’t we @wetherbywhaler ?and the FA/EFL come down on us hard!

 

The problem is these days, a lot of people are just plain thick - I do wonder how some people get through the day they’re that dim.

On another note, CCTV systems are notoriously poor especially if they haven’t been upgraded in the last 10 years - there are high quality systems available these days. City may be as well upgrading their CCTV if it hasn’t been done in the last decade…. but as always these things cost money.

 

Yes. Can't behave.

 

Clearly, didn't work. Needs to be more hard hitting. Like Liverpool's.

 

It's the same text that's repeated by everyone
Been on WHU site since 25th July.
Even the likes of Eastbourne and Brackley Town are ahead.

 

This is true and my thoughts are we have to still teach them plus their parents a lesson.

 

We have to make a stance on things like this and set an example. Life ban!

 

Just answer the simple question if you can. Have you ever done something you later regretted. Not blaming your parents of course.

 

Do we know the police aren't involve, would the club have to ask them to get involved as the flare struck an individual in the lower kop.

 

Im exactly the same IRL - a gobshite!

Well with the police involved it's a step to going that far. Whether it does is a different matter.

It's within the Sporting Events (Control of Alcohol etc.) Act 1985 with a specific section on "Fireworks" section 2A

Sporting Events (Control of Alcohol etc.) Act 1985 (legislation.gov.uk)

The punishment is as below.

A person guilty of an offence under this Act shall be liable on summary conviction—
in the case of an offence under section 1(3) [F2, 1A(3)], 2(1) [F3or 2A(1)], to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three months or both.

 

My wife is 71,and still considers herself a girl,so i would not read anything sinister into Fordys comment.

 

Any one else I would agree .

 

Stupid comment. A better approach is for the club to quickly identify the idiot who did it, ban them for life, and turn them over to the police for a spot at HM pleasure.
