    Obviously the use of pyro's has been a contentious issue amongst the fan base for a while now, however this season it seems to have really ramped up a notch...Rochdale saw the most used in an away game than I have seen before...the town centre 'Spoons was evacuated because one was set off inside...yoof waving them around like sparklers on their way to the ground...

    Every club has them, it isn't just our fans

    The issue obviously isn't going to vanish so maybe the clubs should be more thorough in their searches at the turnstiles - although I wouldn't like to guess where they are hidden :joy:

    Hopefully it isn't possible for the League to attempt to make an example of the worst offending clubs by docking points....

    Any moron who sets one of these things off in a pub needs to be identified on CCTV and charged. I understand the pub was evacuated and the fire service was called. That kind of action shouldn't go unpunished to the morons involved.

    Thinking back, was the person who threw one from the top of the kop which hit the little girl on the lower tier against Newport ever identified?

    Footage of the pub Saturday, I believe this previously happened at Sunderland.

    Within a football stadium, the stadium is in the main made of concrete and non flammable material and the stand are in the open air (although there has been a trend of setting them off in the concourses recently).

    In a pub, you are in a place where people are minding their own business with various flammable material scattered across the place in an enclosed space. I mean beyond having shit for brains, what is between the ears?

    I hope Rochdale go down and cease to exist as soon as.

    Why would you find that a worthy thing to do?

    What are you on about? I doubt it's Rochdale fans setting off Orange Pyros in a pub.

    As for the chanting, yes thats been looked into and two wrongs here don't make a right.

    It was City fans letting the smoke bomb off?

    Ironically the same morons letting off pyros will be the first ones chanting about "the 56". As the Yanks would say, "go figure."

    And wearing those horrendous '56' hoodies as though they are symbolising the disaster as a brand

    I always hate the celebratory tone of the chavy “ always remember the 56” chant which should also be banned. It’s cheap and isn’t the correct way to remember those who lost their lives

    Funny that as that's what my lad said as we watched them set them off. Just bought a Guinness as well the little buggers.

    Oh I thought they were Rochdale fans in the clip!

    If they were City fans then my heart just sinks.

    Did they let you drink it outside or was it a case of everybody or and leave your drinks?

    I might have been clipping a couple round the lug 'ole if it had have been the latter!

    Could see it coming but it took ages for the drink to come so just downed it one. Not a good idea before a 25 minute walk to the ground lol.

    I struggle to comprehend just what the attraction with the damn things is? It's not like coloured smoke improves the atmosphere. Let's hope that they're a fad that goes away sooner rather than later. A couple of hefty fines/bans for letting one off might dissuade the yoot from continuing with them. Although, from watching the highlights of games up and down the country, they seem to be pretty much ubiquitous regardless of team or league.

    How stupid to openly admit to wanting to assault people-physically assaulting people is a crime. And you say I say daft things.

    This reminds me of that famous saying.
