[Albion] Palace smoke bomb

You got the name wrong ...sigh ..it’s Wayne Rooney’s Derby
From the ESU you could see the idiots throwing them forwards where their own fans were and also saw a couple with seats in the grubby little mits!
Recall the reaction to Palace setting off smoke bombs in the 1976 game, seems a much better response than all this whimpering.
I also remember military thunderflashes being thrown in the 70's they made everyone a little more nervous than a standard flare.
Ain't that the case.
1) After previous episodes with these scumbags why weren't proper searches being made. Every compartment of my rucksack was searched and a thorough pat down. Why aren't the club's stewards being far more vigilant
2) Why did the stewards do nothing when the smoke bombs were let off? I thought our CCTV was one of the most sophisticated around? Why didn't they identify the miscreants and throw them out?
As you say, if that had happened in the North Stand the culprit would have (quite rightly) been identified, ejected from the ground and given a lengthy Barber-ban. Why are the club giving far more leeway to the away supporters?
Barber bans us from taking in bottle tops but nothing happens when away fans take flares etc into the ground. Does he really think bottle tops pose a more serious and significant security / H&S issue than flares? If so, he needs to get a grip.
I think the atmos in some Euro games is brilliant. I love the flares and I would be happy to have them at every game.
The issue is one of inconsistency by the club. If that had been one of us in the NS letting off flares we would have been out of the ground immediately and banned. Away fans do it and our club does nothing.
The club really shouldn't be treating away fans who break the rules significantly more leniantly than they would us.
Barber needs to make the club's policy clear. He can't allow away fans to get away with doing what home fans would get ejected and banned for.

Barber banned Brighton fans from having bottle tops after Deli Ali took a quarter bottle of Evian to the head, a game that had f all to do with us. Do you expect any different from him?
You are absolutely right. But you can you see the club changing its stance and dealing with real potential H&S / security issues rather than Barber's pathetic bottle top ban? Nope. Me neither.

About the only bottle-related incident we've had at the Amex was when the Arsenal manager kicked one at the WSL. Don't recall seeing him being ejected from the ground

Quite, I refuse to purchase now as I’m not receiving what I’m paying for which is a full bottle of drink complete with a lid. Does it say anywhere in the price list the bottles of drink are missing lids? .

The only thing that gets wet is the stands with sticky pop running down them, the wasps when the weather warms up will be interesting.
At least they’ll be a buzz about the place again.

You do see something new each time. It isn't brain cells though.
The searches would never find them. I often take a small torch with me (for walking up Falmer Road after the game) and keep it in my coat pocket. I've never, once, been asked what it is - it's almost identical in size and shape to a small flare. There were several thrown on Saturday - saw at least 3. Even at the N end of WSL the smoke was quite acrid - said at the time if I'd been an asthma sufferer or similar it would have been pretty horrible.

No doubt some of these supporters pronounced themselves 'terrified' when Cantona jumped into the crowd.

Half of them aren't old enough to know who Cantona is.
Or can't spell his name.
