League One - 2023/24

[DB9]

I do believe that is what happens, it's happened a few times at away grounds.

Admit it Hants, You just look like a trouble maker!

Looking at Celtic etc you have to wonder if there are different rules there, and whether the authorities are bothered about it in Scotland

Arguably even tougher up there, especially with attempts with the "Offensive Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communications (Scotland) Act 2012" which tried and failed to criminalise football fans under the banner of acting against Sectarianism and the mission creep that inevitably followed (police overstepping). Repealed after major pushback and protests in 2018.

Difference is the mentality - organised fans who know when and how to get away with it and having each others backs.

Got to a point up there now where the scales have tipped for the police whereby there's so much going off their time is better spent with other things.

You take in a game at Scotland and the boisterous sections regularly let off pyro whilst the old boys and bedwetters sit and get on with things elsewhere.

Can you have pyro of sorts at games within safety parameters?

Yes, probably

Norway has legalised it and it's used well over there

This is how legal pyro works in Norway – NSA

Considering their reputation for an ordered society (unlike the countries on the Med where they just enjoy life more generally) that's no mean feat

My view is that those that massively over react and get litigious and celebrate 18 year old kids being banned for 3 years and asking for life bans... are boring people. This, of course will be countered with "yOu ArE aN idIot", with a face ruddied and contorted, desperate to not spill the Bovril delicately placed on a barrier.

Travel, watch football in different countries and continents and you'll see it's such a fantastic spectator sport, not just what happens on the pitch

Many of those who tut and complain inhaled all sorts of shit deliberately for decades

Stick @Andy Holloway in the middle of the Azteca with a trumpet in his ear and the air thick with pyro and the smell of tacos al pastor and he'd become a new man I reckon

I went to a Norwegian Tippeligaen game last season (Stromsgotset v Lillestrom) and before the game the whole away end was full of pyros to the point where you couldn't see the pitch until a minute or so after kick off - the atmosphere was great.

This made me chuckle.

The best bit of this masterpiece of a post is “with a trumpet in his ear”

To be fair he was probably given a grand by Dai Yongge and told to turn it in to the monthly payroll.
