Orgaised displays?
Oranised displays?
What fresh madness is this?
I'm sure displays are fine as long as you don't use flares; especially orangised ones.
From what I can remember, any flares display etc have to be
supervised by a fire officer and licenced pyrotechnics technician.
Is there a FAS course one could do?? :)Quote:

Depends on the club really, I know Bohs got permission for smoke last year but from past experience you would only be bringing trouble on yourself by mentioning it to the gards, and even some club officials (depending on the club). Probably best to do it without telling anyone and if there is a fine pay it amongst yourselves. Although there is a pyrotechnics training coarse in Clare I think, again you could still be caught with permission from your club though.
Another great example of how the FAI do their best to ruin football in this country:mad: Delaney and co. are really doing their best to destroy the Ultra scene here, the league will be a corporate, family friendly, no standing disgrace like the English leagues if supporters don't stand up to this harassment.
Those bloody families ruining our league.:mad: Why can't they take their 60-80 euros somewhere else?Quote:

You mean tifo displays yeah? If you use pyro you will get fined but that doesn't mean the club will have to pay it. But their is more to displays then just pyro. Try something else if you don't have the balls:DQuote:

I agree. I never go without at least one of my sons, and sometimes the missus. What behaviour do 'fans' want to get up to that isn't family friendly?? Singing, chanting, cheering, giving out loads is suitable for all ages.Quote:

I've no problem with families at football.
What I do have a major problem with is kids roaming the terraces doing anything but watching the game.
Some grounds are like fuppin kiddie discos.
And the attitudes of the mammys and daddys are something to behold aswell. Some people need to realise that their children are their responsibility.
I'm already looking forward to the kerfuffle when little Ryan\Jacinta\Demika\Jayden has his/her hand blown off in the Shed, or trips on a step, or chokes on a hot dog etc etc...
You can be certain of one thing and that's that it wont be their parents fault :mad:
Rant Over :)
Exactly Old Youth, but the powers that be would rather everyone sitting down without any of that. The excuse would be that its not 'family friendly' sorry about any confusion I caused with my earlier post. Some clubs in England (Reading and Plymouth for example) have used the 'family friendly' card to turf out as many that they can who stand, even though as you said singing and shouting knows no age.
My post should have read: corporate all seater disgrace:o
Limerick would suit you down to the ground my man.Quote:

And don't even get me started on the football ground............
I remember when people could stand on the old track at the RSC, you would have 4 or 5 groups of youngones and youngfellas about 14 to 16 that would do laps of the track during the match having chats as they met on their circuts:D None of them looked at the pitch unless a goal had been scored, stranger still was the fact a lot of them were kitted out in fairly expensive club gear.
Nice cant wait for the away games there:D:cool:Quote:

reading some of the threads on these forums is like wading through treacle.:rolleyes:
anyways.... in answer to the question posed at the beginning of the thread.
Rovers last had a display for the home game with drogs.
a hockey load of flares.along with normal flags,tickertape etc was used.
Rovers got fined the sum total of €100 .
since there was approx. 750 german fans at the game,and the income generated would cover the impending fine the club were happy to have a display with flares.
hope that answers the query.
Problem is the fines are not consistent though. If the FAI only fined clubs 100 euro for a load of flares etc. then that wouldn't be too bad but they don't.Quote:
