Black Bank

[Sammy Chung was King]

I know people want to enjoy the games, and to some pyro's seem to be the answer, how long until it's a firework?, anybody remember a firework in a game i think in this country, it was let off accidently and killed somebody in the opposite stand?.
Isn't there something similar to pyro's that gives the same effect without the smoke that billows out of them and causes people who can't breathe well to suffer?.

I am not elderly but i have family who suffer badly with breathing, and i see what a bonfire in the next garden does, so in such an enclosed space i fear for anybody who suffers in this way.
I want people to have a great time without harming others, why lose people when you can do the right thing?.

The Black Bank thing is good, but if they want to maintain credibility , they have to self police idiots who give them a bad name. If you know WHO they are then come forward, otherwise every one of you will be tarred with the same brush.  These idiots are NOT Rovers fans, if they were they would not persist with this stupid behaviour.

[Sammy Chung was King]

It needs somebody they respect to say ''Come on lads we don't need these''!.

I hear medical treatment had to be administered to someone tonight after the pyro was thrown. What will it take for the idiots get the message?

A young lad, maybe 12 or 13 years old, and his Dad seemed to be taken to the paramedics at the bottom of the west/south corner

Yep right in front of us, kid was very upset.  These people need to think about others.

A functioning brain.

[glosterred]

I wonder, if the Rovers pick up a fine for these pyro incidents, will those responsible contribute to paying it? Thought not!

No pyro, no paramedics.

Copps tried several times last Season on the big screen when Captain

If they don't respect HIM then who would they respect ?

[bobjimwilly]

The DRSG keep telling ppl they created the black bank, so they need to take responsibility and condemn those with pyros. Ppl also need to work with the club and help identify the individuals,  if that hasn't already happened.

Do they know who Copps is?

That's open to debate

The appeal for no pyro at Rovers worked then. Not even kicked off and there's a smoke bomb in the south stand #drfc #starlive

Because they're 'Donny Rovers and they'll do what they want'... f**king idiots.

[VivaRovers]

Anybody remember a firework in a game i think in this country, it was let off accidently and killed somebody in the opposite stand?

Yes. Wales vs Romania, 1993.

to be fair Neil has pointed it out,u can only do so much to stop people

[Orlandokarla]

It would be great if the club could identify the culprits, and pass on any fines received from the FL.
They don't care about the club, other fans, and are apparently not phased by the prospect of a ban and being arrested, but I bet they care about their wallets.

The police statement says one person - but in the club one it says two?

The police can only talk about someone they arrested. It's quite possible that one was arrested and one was identified by the club separately.

I can remember the one at the Wolves game.

Among all the negatives it's worth reiterating again that the atmosphere from last year has improved massively and that the Black Back is getting fuller and fuller. It's also worth mentioning that people behind the scenes are genuinely trying to make a go of things, communicate with the club and build support. It took a few to raise their heads above the sand and do something about the Keepquiet. A few numpties won't ruin this.

And it was quite an amazing moment last night when Sky Sports said that the penalties will be taken towards the Black Bank! The stand's already been renamed.

[RedArmy]

Bury away other season a copper had took a firework of a fan. The idiot ended up letting it off himself.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Can't believe the policing policy.

They arrest someone's for carrying fireworks and let them off. Yet I once got picked up for carrying a car battery and I got charged.

[newyankee]

Yes Billy but you were arrested for possible Assault WITH Battery.  <laugh><laugh>

Sorry, wrong forum, should be

Making humorous comments about folks' age is SOOOOOooo passé, my chabby little spadger.

[Sammy Chung was King]

I know the old saying is ''You can't educate pork''!, or ''You can't polish a turd'', or even ''You can't make a thoroughbread out of a selling plater''
But i don't think people should go down the route of banning just yet, identify them and have them into try and explain why it's not a good idea.
If they do it after that then , it's a rebellion thing because they are young kids trying to push the limits, but it shouldn't be at someone elses cost with they're health.

[bobjimwilly]

identify them and have them into try and explain why it's not a good idea.

The club have been doing that for over 12 months now though Sammy

[RTID75]

Name and shame with the cold, brutal facts (arrest, 2 year ban) on the big screen? Personal plea from player(s) via microphone pitch address?

Can proper prosecutions / big fines be achieved? Don't know who has to run with that though (club/police). These people should be made to pay every penny it costs the club.

Something has to be done as a small handful of fools are costing the club dear and negating all the great work done to get Black Bank up and running.
