Pyrotechnics

A plea to all.

If you are thinking of throwing a Pyrotechnic tonight, don't bother, you may see it as harmless and so could your mates, but what if somebody close by has a breathing difficulty? your Pyrotechnic could set of a chain of events what sees this person struggle to breathe and then succumb as a result, this may seem unrealistic but it can happen and why does somebody need to die before action is taken?

Even if you think by throwing them into the Colchester end they'll be made culpable, they won't...

You can cost...
Somebody their life
The club money
The club points...
JUST DON'T BOTHER TAKING THEM.

And to the rest of you...
If you should happen to see somebody in possession of a a Pyrotechnic or should you suspect somebody to be carrying one, it is your responsibility to be the whistleblower, you won't be a grass, you'll just be a good supporter who looks out for others.

We can stamp this out together, starting from tonight hopefully.

Grasses out.

Quoted from ska face

Grasses out.

No, I hope someone grasses the excrement out of anyone selfish enough to smuggle in a smoke bomb knowing full well it could cost the club in fines or points deductions. You can take umbrage with the laws, penalties and excessive hyperbole (nobody is going to suffocate or die from one ffs) surrounding the use of pyrotechnics inside football grounds, but fact is those potential penalties exist and could have an impact on the club. Anyone deciding to ignore that because of their desire to wave a smoke bomb around, or hold up play by chucking one on the pitch deserves everything coming to them.

You have to wonder if they are even Town fans, I've never seen such a concerted effort to lose Town points or money. They're the enemy and should be treat as such.

Fully agree and the stupid member threw it onto the pitch where we were defending so the smoke could easily have got in to James' eyes.

I saw someone taken to one side by police and stewards, was he the one?

Well said ! The problem is that I would  imagine the morons who do this don't post on The Fishy so this is probably a plea to the innocent anyway.

I bet some of them can't even read!!!!

they really are a scum element, they must know what the consequences can be, not just for them but to the club also.

I can remember Altrincham away the season before last when we had like 6 pyros thrown on the pitch within a space of like 10 minutes, one of them was even thrown when Grimsby was on a promising counter attack!

WARNING

I will be there and I will shop anyone I see with a smoke bomb.

You could cost our club a big fine or even a points deduction.

Excellent chrisblor post and OP.

Yeh we really need to stop this before it becomes costly

Its all a ploy..throw enough smoke it gets in your eyes and you can't see what really is going on. (or they hope you don't)

That's an analogy btw. Nothing to do with actual smoke bombs.

I want some pyrotechnics that go puff flash puff flash bang. Basically, I want a condensed Pink Floyd concert for £500.

Can someone explain to me what the point of them even is? I've always struggled to understand why people waste their money on them, let alone think its ok to throw them in the pitch at a football match.

Your looking at from a sensible point of view and not how the morons see it.
They certainly won't read anything on here or take any notice of the club appealing.
Direct action will be the only option.

Wycombe have given banning orders to 4 from Saturday, and GTFC have issued the same 4 the same treatment.

WYCOMBE Wanderers have issued banning orders to four Grimsby Town fans who were ejected from Adams Park during Saturday’s match.



The club’s stewards identified four individuals who were responsible for either bringing a pyrotechnic device into the stadium, discharging it or throwing it on to the pitch early in the match.



In line with the club’s zero tolerance policy on the use of pyrotechnics within Adams Park, the four men will now face a lifetime ban from the stadium.



Meanwhile, Wycombe Wanderers have also issued a banning order to a Wycombe supporter for repeatedly breaching the club’s regulations in relation to acceptable behaviour.



As per the Information Sharing Agreement, the supporters details have been shared with Grimsby Town Football Club, who will be additionally banning these supporters from all games involving Grimsby Town Football Club across all age groups.



These devices carry substantial risk to those using them, supporters and the stadium infrastructure in terms of fire risk. Grimsby Town Football Club has zero tolerance with regards to pyrotechnics and will take every measure possible in the pursuit of a criminal conviction.

The point of them is that they are banned. Therefore in the tiny minds of some idiots there is some sort of kudos in smuggling them in and chucking them about. It's the sort of mentality that makes people put videos of themselves on social media doing a ton down Freemo on their moped. To them it is sticking up a finger to the club, the law and everyone else who says they should be banned.

Much as I applaud the life bans by Wycombe and Town that won't stop any other determined @rsole from doing it.

I don't think banning or club fines or even point deductions are ever  the answer

They should be taken behind the Pontoon by a few upright Mariners fans, the smoke bomb wedged firmly in their scrotum and then set off. I suspect it wouldn't take many such happenings to form a deterrent.

I just don't get it. They have now got themselves a ban and that's that for them as Town fans.  

Quite frankly those who have got banning orders deserved what they got.

Even putting the health and safety issues to one side for a moment.

These devices have been around at several games over the last couple of seasons. The club and others have told 'fans' not to bring them. They announced a zero tolerance policy that is undoubtedly shared by other clubs. Despite this incidents have continued.

The club has even expressed concerns that continued incidents will lead to the club facing sanctions....fines (which we can ill afford) or even points deductions (which we can also ill afford).

Incredibly these idiots continue. Just a word lads....you may think you are being incredibly cool.....you're not. You may think you are adding to the atmosphere....you're not.
You may think other fans look at you in awe ....we dont. Quite the opposite in fact. F***wits.

Soft bleeding liberals you're all the bloody same   

However, poetic justice would be to insert said pyro into a tampon, insert tampon into available bodily orifice, light the blue touch paper (or whatever you do nowadays) and stand well back.  Not forgetting the obligatory phone cam for social media !!

I think I'd accept that amendment Civvy. At least the smoke would have a chimney to go up!

The one let off at derby was set off by two lads who came to the match with me, i work away down south and invited them to the game (swindon fans). They had one left over from the euros in Marseille. I didn't know they was going to use it until they did but it was kind of funny seeing them being thrown out 2 mins in after a 90 min car ride

So to answer some peoples question; no some of them aren't town fans

Talking of pyrotechnics, has anyone seen Lincolns celebratory pyrotechnics show.

#GTFCExperience

I got a mail from a Wycombe supporting friend this morning. Basically he though the Grimsby fans were outstanding ......with the exception of the idiot who set off the smoke bomb. Whoever you are you're letting us all down

Good news tonight,

No smoke bombs, lets hope they have all been banned

We can now just talk about the football.
