    What would turn people on these idiots would be say if we made the play offs and the club were refused fans to the away leg.

    I'm dam sure some names would be forwarded to the club then.

    Interesting point of view. In the late 1960’s there were over 5,000 ‘young persons’ sent to Borstal, despite the regime the reoffending rates were dramatic and led to their closures.
    On here a number of posters, glorify the ‘rucks’ of the 60’s/70’s and 80’s. Rather than a ‘few senior’ fans sorting this out, the days of the hooliganism were rife, and football was in a poor state. I certainly would have thought twice about bringing young children in those days.
    As you say, back in the day people respected authority figures and crowds were wonderful! https://bradfordsporthistory.com/2017/08/21/the-1906-valley-parade-riot-by-ian-hemmens/

    what was the excuse for the hooliganism in the 70s and 80s then ? Was that due to getting rid of hanging?

    And young people are rude, disrespectful, and neither use nor ornament... Two can play at that game!

    What we have today was not always discovered/invented/developed by people who were young at the time, and it has always been thus. One day you will be an old person, and the youth of that time may well say about you what you are now saying about us. This, too, has always been the case.

    Chill out, and join us older folk in annoying the neighbours with some punk rock electric guitar. That at least we can all do together! ;)

    It’s simple let it be known and well publicised that anyone found to have set of pyros or caused damage or hooliganism of any sort it will lead to a life ban. The scribes can not then say they haven’t been warned

    Shame the same couldn't be said about the Dutch fans after the West Ham defeat last night.

    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.

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

    Yep.

    There was a video from 'around the grounds' or whatever, and the first thing in the headline of that YouTube video praising our fans was.... pyros.

    I honestly think the club should be addressing issues with our own fans before writing to Rochdale about their disgusting chants.

    That's for the algorithm you tube uses to get hits, buzzwords like pyro, fights, limbs etc. And it's the views that the creators are after.

    We have a history that dictates these type of pyrotechnic are not welcome at Valley Parade. If i see them elsewhere it doesn't bother me as long as its not in a pub like what happened at Rochdale. I certainly saw far worse happen at football grounds and cities in my away day travels over the decades. It is an offence in this country to use them in stadia and as such should be treat as a criminal offence but then its a trend i see all over the world at football games and with the internet its very easy for the younger generation of fans to get taken in by what happens elsewhere.
