Pyro

[IDM]

I take it you don't know anyone, young or old or whatever, who is asthmatic? Or might be affected by smoke in the eyes.  Plus these things are hot and can cause injuries if thrown etc..

by the way "beast" go read the black bank thread - how would you feel if it was YOUR kid needing paramedic treatment?

If you read back through the posts I have said that I do not encourage the use of Pyros. It is you that is sending insults from behind your laptop.

[IDM]

We haven't got enough fans to be banning them for petty things like this. Health & safety gone mad!
Free the Black Bank 2 !!

We haven't enough fans, we need to be recruiting not banning kids for polluting!

Agreed, don't let them off indoors.

Which bits of your quotes show you DON'T advocate pyros?

"free the black bank 2" perhaps, or going on about "not banning kids for polluting"?

They broke the law, and have brought potential further punishment on the club from the authorities following previous pyro incidents.

The club has widely publicised that pyros are not tolerated at the stadium yet folks STILL insist on ignoring the warnings.

Serves them right IMHO!

The law's an ass, there isn't enough police officers to enforce laws like this, or there soon won't be, they cant get to burglaries never mind smoke bombs.  We haven't enough fans, we need to be recruiting not banning kids for polluting!

Then by your exact same logic, the law against burglary is also an ass as according to you there isn't enough police to enforce that either. :/

Not really, it infers that due to lack of police that the police would have to prioritize, the comment was tongue in cheek as you might notice by the shitty rhyme at the end. Anyway I apologise to anyone who I may of offended for trivializing the subject. I do not a want to encourage pyros and do not agree with the policy of cutting the police force but that's 'off topic' so I apologise again.

I understand there illegal, but do we really need to be banning fans when were struggling to get people to turn up as it is, just give them a slap on the rist and put them on a watch list or something, im sure therea other ways around it other than banning people for good.

[The Beast]

That was my point Wheatley, I'm sure we've all done things wrong in the past with the exception of IDM. Educate and integrate these boys back into the DRFC family and maybe one day they will be upright members of society and bring their kids and grandkids to this club we love so dearly.

Sorry, lost that bit amongst everything else.  But your other posts gave the appearance of trivialising pyros.  That's what wound me up.

Pyros in a confined space have proved to be dangerous, so it is right to ban them for the safety of all fans. If fans bring pyros to the ground then they are putting themselves and fellow fans in danger by setting off pyros. They must be banned, and culprits banned from the ground.

No one's perfect.. But the use of pyros has been repeatedly warned against.. 

The great work of the black bank to generate a better atmosphere, whether all fans join in or not, could be easily undone by the actions of a few selfish individuals.

[The Beast]

No probs IDM, I apologise, maybe I was been a bit cantankerous, at the end of the day we're all Rovers!

And I have deleted my over reaction - sorry.

I want a successful team supported by a great atmosphere.  Had last night seen the first use of pyros by our fans then yes, a proverbial slap on the wrist would suffice.

[Askern_reds]

I'm buzzing my tits of with the atmosphere can I call it the cop are creating, can't you stop talking about pyros the more you talk the more attention you give these guys with them nothing like publicity?

[WheatleyRover]

Lets not call it a kop, just the black bank!!

[Askern_reds]

sorry Wheatley just going back to my youth

According to the club statement they had already been warned, and signed an ASB statement regarding their conduct, you can only do so much.

[hoolahoop]

Then they received the correct treatment. Those advocating 99 years penal servitude etc. really do need to lighten up. I don't know the lads in question but I take it they will be educated as to the effects on others of their behaviour. The bans ought to sort out the lads behaviour and serve as a warning to others. To be frozen out of watching your team play at home for 2 seasons is a difficult pill to swallow in itself.

[i_ateallthepies]

I very much hope they're prevented from buying tickets from the KM for away matches too.  The club will not be immune from penal action if they're used by our support in someone else's stadium.

[silent majority]

It depends on the type of banning order. One issued through the courts will apply to all and every game of football, plus the handing in of your passport when England play away. A club ban is much harder to regulate.

[glosterred]

It's not as though these individuals had not been warned that the club would take action, the Copps video on the big screen ran last year as well as this season. There has been no end of chatter on the forums and Facebook about it ever since the incident at Frickley. If we don't ban them, make an example of someone, when do those supporting these individuals not to be ban think it will end and people will stop letting off pyro's?

For all those advocating giving these numbskulls a warning, can I ask how many warnings you think they should get? 3? 4? 5?................unlimited?
