The difference is the leeds and Millwall fans are a bit handy, ours are spotty scruffy mullet wearing fannys fresh from buying their dodgy North face and Stoney gear from Dewsbury market and complete bypass the deodorant stall.

 

can not remember ever doing anything that would cause the club to fined tens of thousands of quid and have our away allocations reduced

 

Maybe Crawley have the answer, at least for home games.



Sent to approx 20 fans in a block

 

I've been going to City since I was 8 (now 45) and I've never thrown a brick or flare, so yes I have "behaved like a saint" as you put it, as I am sure most normal people do.

 

Don't give a flying fook about whether other teams have sanctions applied or not. I do however care that we as a club are being hit in the pocket constantly because of immature morons with brains the size of peas.

 

The stewards were complying with EFL edicts not to touch pyros until they extinguish themselves on H&S grounds. So you won't see a man with a bucket anymore but will see more delays to play whilst these horrible and dangerous things burn out.
Looking at Bronco's post, when I arrived there were loads of stewards around and searching all the early Bantams arrivals but that clearly went out of the window later.
The comment about this issue being local games is spot on, last season's antics at Crewe blew a hole in any auto hopes we had, the goal that lost us the game coming in time added for the actions of our so called fans, what was it? 11 added minutes!.
I suspect we will get some comeback from the EFL and I just hope we don't have a repeat at Crewe. These idiots are costing us but too thick to understand and I doubt they ever will, only solution is life time ban backed up by Court Orders.

 

This is one concept of away followings I’ve never understood. Why the need to stand when there’s a perfectly adequate seat to sit in? It’s almost as if it’s a “cool” thing to do amongst away football fans but why? It just seems odd to me.

 

At an educated guess I reckon there will be an investigation held by the football league after the latest shenanigans involving our club.
Once again any spare money accumulated by the club thus far will be used to pay fines imposed.
Sanctions could unfortunately be put in place eg reduced away allocations or far worse a possible points deduction.
Do the those who bring our clubs name into disripute care?
No, it's just the majority who suffer.
It's time to call it a day before some gets seriously hurt.
It could be you.
Grow up and support the team without pyrotechnics it's that simple.
Use your voice and hands and stop hurting the club financially if you really care about Bradford City.
Myself and many others are sick and tired of this reoccurring problem.

 

Despite the serious lack of judgement in creating smoke in support of a club who had the trauma we did I also I find all this pyro party stuff really cringe worthy - 8 14 year olds trying to replicate scenes from Ali Sami Yen is so cheesy and all in the pursuit of of virtual likes and tik tok views.

It’s a sad indictment on social culture that surrounded by hundreds of adults nobody dare challenge this behaviour when it happens.

dear pyro wannabes let one off near me and you will have smoke coming out if your back side whilst I drag you to bridewell Grow Up

 

I tried to get a picture of the 15/16 year old scrotes who were letting these off in the concourse at half time, but couldn’t get near due to congestion. These idiots want banning.

 

And your last sentence makes it ok because?

 

I remember back in 70s drink driving was fairly accepted too but most people wouldn’t suggest it’s ok these days

 

If they had 10p between them they'd still have far more money than sense. Not hard to spot one online either, just see the comments on any tweet having a pop at flares and there's always the same handful of accounts replying with things like "it's only a bit of fun" and the same accounts liking all the same stuff. Guessing that's the group of yobs all backing their idiocy up.

 

I expect the same kind of incidents at Crewe next week just like it was there last season.
The club could also have a photo of every season ticket holder, not to print on season tickets, but just to have on their internal database.
Then restrict away tickets to season ticket holders.
It shouldn’t have to come to this but a minority of our away following is giving us a reputation no better than Leeds and Millwall.

 

Yes I believe they did where there were families eating and drinking, its obvious these people have no regard for anyone else but themselves so trying to persuade them not to do it is a lost cause.

 

These thoughtless individuals are besmirching the reputation of the club in a manner made even worse when we consider the history of the club. I know young people do daft stuff but this behaviour has to be stopped by harsh penalties

 

Something has to give with regards pyros, but IMO it is the responsibility of the home stewarding who gets allowed into the stadium, you and I both know trying to persuade these kids not to bring them to games isn't going to work they say it adds to the atmosphere at the game, I'd think the vast majority attending the games where they are let off would disagree.
I'm not sure with regards the kids who bring them are season ticket holders or as you say mates who just tag on when they go on sale to the general public, I don't think banning the sale to the general public is fair as there will be many floating fans (general public if you like) who go to these games and behave as most decent season ticket holders behave, its defiantly something that needs to be tackled by the club and if away tickets are only sold to season ticket holders then so be it.

 

Confirms financial penalties will be incurred, and not for the first time.

This is literally hampering the clubs progression. Total up the fines for this idiocy and we could have had a player to make the difference in our promotion charge.

Unbelievable

 

We have some utter morons for fans. The braindead ones who stand up all match in their seats aren’t much better.

 

I've chucked the odd bog roll and pinned two Claret & Amber ballons on the centre spot before the game ( it didn't go down too well with the bobbies at York) but Stafford God rest his soul vouched for me when the bobbie was going to eject me, did you go to that game @Bantam-in-Greece.
I don't understand anyone knowing that letting off or throwing smoke bombs can bring repercussions for the club and its law abiding fans is O/K, apart from it being illegal.
