Some of our fans are total d**kheads

[the vicar]

Do we have and evidence of are fans who have been injured or take to hospital cos they could not breath because of the smoke ? If so then people who enjoy the show of smoke might understand what you are getting at but all I see at the min is lots of people who don’t like the young lads and there antics so jump on here and winge

no one said anyone went to hospital cos they could not breathe I SAID it affected people in the ground that could not, Me for one and another chap, but that does not seem to bother you and the others that actually use the damn things, you seem to condone the idiots using them, some won't be happy or things done till something does happen and someone ether does get taken to hospital or even dies, it seems to be ok with you because you  don't have a breathing problem but it WILL drive our fans away

The people who have given personal accounts of their own difficulties on this very forum ARE evidence, you pillock.

You want to enjoy smoke? Go to a bonfire and have an orgasm.

Probably the most stupid post on here regarding smoke bombs, it must make you wonder why the powers that be ban them eh?

[the vicar]

Anyone that finds it good fun that others take them in to the ground should get a lengthy  BAN from any football ground in the country as they are just as bad as the idiots

But being able to gasp in wonder at a puff of smoke outweighs any distress fellow supporters might have to endure!!

Orr Glyn give it a rest it’s a debate page and all I said was I don’t mine it so that means I should get a ban haha 😂 , no wonder there is so much arguing at rovers game with busy body’s like u about

And I'm debating, so I won't give it a rest.

I've never said you should have a ban. Why do you think I did?

Them stewards, police and other supporters who want the rules followed for others' safety are real busybodies aren't they. Bas**rds, eh?

You also said that those that object to it are doing so to have a whinge

[the vicar]

If I am winging about others affecting my health that is poor anyway then I am guilty

Yes it is a debate, but getting away from any personal or OTT remarks, you aren't going to win a debate on pyros at football.  That's not an age thing either, it's a legal thing and also common sense.

So what if coloured smoke looks great?  I think it looks great too, but the other issues outweigh the "look".  Having an opinion is all well and good, but that doesn't mean you can't be wrong..

[glosterred]

Into the 3rd page of some of our fans are total d**kheads, which surprises me as I thought it was a given!

I quite like how they look, so you could say I "enjoy the show". What I don't like is having my lungs f**king filled with the stuff because it's being set off in an enclosed space where there's next to no escape, with a young child who can barely breathe because of it, isn't my idea of enjoyment.

It's not too bad on an open terrace as at least the smoke can dissipate into the sky unimpeded, but it still goes everywhere with the wind. And as stated, the people who set them off lob them on the floor as soon as they can anyway, so not only are they selfish as f**k, they're too cowardly to allow themselves to be held to account. They want to feel rebellious without actually getting caught. No surprise that it's mostly younger people that do it.

The pyro smoke bomb is the toy of choice for the wannabee hooligans who will also run around outside afterwards giving it large and trying to provoke something with fellow teeny boppers from the opposition.

It'll be exactly the same in Rotherham in a few weeks!

If you put them in a pub with a few tables, chairs, proper blokes and some blades knocking about, I suddenly doubt they'd be so boisterous.

Always been the same but as they grow up and get older, they'll learn.

And, of course, when they're chucked on the floor the fumes are coming at people from below and are denser and more concentrated. At least when they're held aloft there's a good chances the fumes will go straight into any wind and over people's heads. But no, being a coward is the order of the day. Still, the smoke makes some people's match 'experience' so much better that it outweighs the distress it causes so many other people, so that's alright then.

Or when they mouth off at the wrong person and get a good hiding.

And there is another section effected I was in the wings of the side to the right and one chap had a bab asthma attack with the pyro, I'm asthmatic my self and it gets to me so I know how he feels

It's time these knobjockeys were "outed"for good .
For years our supporters were recognised as some of the friendliest by oppo clubs and their supporters which meant that low level stewarding was granted to us however over the last few seasons these t**ts have undone years of hard work done by our own supporters club, self- stewarding and excellent police liason support . Somehow we need to get these idiots away from games , some know who they are ......now get them banned for life please especially the pyromaniacs !!
These idiots don't represent our club and we want it back from them asap.

With all the CCTV in the grounds I can’t understand why most these morons haven’t been caught and banned already. It is time now to get it sorted because a small minority are going to turn many genuine supporters away from following the club especially away matches.
I think it is 4 consequitive away games at Scunthorpe now where we have had flares set off and other trouble in the ground.

Having been lucky enough to spend time in a football control room, it's incredibly difficult to pinpoint the exact point it gets set off and as you can imagine the purportrators don't hold onto it for long. While HD cameras have moved the efforts forward, working out the person to the seat is practically impossible.

Do Doncaster fans sit in the seats allocated on their tickets or just stand up anywhere?

[RedJ]

Bit of both.

Mostly the latter.

[RedArmy]

Agree, expect to see similar behaviour at Rotherham. Can spoil it for the majority. Dont get me wrong its great to celebrate a goal with randomers because the team you all love have just scored but to celebrate with a smoke bomb? no need. My Opinion of course before i am shot down.

[DRFC-Hanksie]

To be fair I'm hearing one of the incidents was a woman taking a swing because a lad used a very offensive racist term. I hope she caught him cleanly.

That's what i've heard too. Same lad who dressed in a burka at Bradford. Absolute f**king muppet.

Wouldn't it be karma if he did the same at the home match against Bradford. And got the shit kicked out of him by some real racists.

[wesisback]

The charges were dropped after his arrest at the game and the ladies were arrested in this incident. When you think about some of the trivial incidents that football fans are charged for it makes a mockery of the justice system.

The ladies weren't arrested, as I said earlier they left of their own accord and ended on good terms with the police

[wesisback]

Apologies, I admit I heard that third hand and lazily didn't check.
