[Albion] Fireworks pre-match

[pure_white]

Look quite good but it wasnt just kids choking for 5 to 10 mins at the start of the match. 10.mins before the smog cleared. I come to watch football match not gunpowder. Time to stop it or at least limit it. Do we need that much? A friend in lower east is asmathic and wasnt happy at all.

At the risk of sounding unsympathetic, I love them. Much better than some naff flags left on seats. Adds a smokey South American fug to make our new recruits feel at home.

Do you sit in the first 10 rows of the east stand?

Do you sit in the first 10 rows of the east stand?

No .

If the players can run around and play elite sport in a little smoke, then I'm sure there is no danger sitting in it.

 

[studio150]

Unless there is a requirement from the PL/TV then this should be stopped now.
Half hearted display which just fills the ground with smoke which reduces vision and its unpleasant to breath in smoke fumes.

One for the FAB to ensure is dropped immediately.

 

[Sirnormangall]

No .

So you have no problems with flares then?

When has there ever been a flare in the Amex?

Smoke bombs are not flares.

 

[Weststander]

I like it, genuinely the team seem to start ‘on fire’. We were notorious slow starters in Amex EPL games.

But I feel for eaststanders who suffer.

 

[portlock seagull]

Looked naff, smelled naff, is naff. The limp officially employed to wave a flag accompanying was also…naff.

Embarrassing. Can only hope the club official who dreamt it up will soon naff off

 

[brighton_tom]

I dont mind it. Each to their own.

There have been flares at the Amex. There was a big feature in the match programme today about getting tougher on people who bring pyrotechnics to matches. One of the reasons for banning pyrotechnics in stadia is because of the health and safety impact on spectators, in particular those who suffer from asthma. So, whilst it might look nice and add to the atmosphere, I don’t get how the club can take a strong stance against pyros and set them off within 10 metres of spectators.

This is a flare



What has been brought into the ground recently is a perfectly safe smoke bomb, the type which is sold to celebrate weddings or the announcement of a baby's gender.



There is a world of difference between a flare and a smoke bomb.

We are undefeated in the premier league. Let’s have it!!

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Wolves used pre-match pyrotechnics back in 2003 - not any more ...

 

[TugWilson]

Wasn`t there, but on stream pre game it honestly looked tacky ,the players especially (Estupinan) were coughing ,not a good look , and it held the game up . If we had some Coloured (not drab grey) fireworks launched from the roof that would probably look great , pre-game or when a BHAFC goal is scored ,but from the pitch - no way , don`t forget The Amex was constructed 4 levels below the surrounding landscape ,where is the smoke going ?.

I quite like it. But then I'm a bit naff! And easily pleased. And the wind turned and we got a facefull in the West Upper, so not just an East stand thing.

 

[macbeth]

I sit about six rows up in the east stand, am not asthmatic so I can't comment on their experience but I genuinely didn't find it too bad, and certainly felt like it had cleared within the first couple of minutes of the game. If I'm honest the worst part was probably nearly having a heart attack as I was on my phone when they were let off, but aside for that it's fine and helps pep the atmosphere up a little

 

[Johnny RoastBeef]

Blimey, we try and generate a little atmosphere and the fun sponges are out in force to put a stop to it.

For a little context, this is what a football stadium can be like. (Not the nonsense we see up in Croydon.)

 

[Justice]

Will be even better for night game definitely adds a bit of something different.
