Close the stand while the club organises additional security measures/repairs the costs of which should be reflected in the season ticket price for next season.

Maybe section off that portion of the stand and use the north east gate to access the other half of the North West up to the halfway line.

If they wanna behave like they should at least pay the costs. Be it financial or otherwise.

What so you are saying I should pay more for my season ticket In the north west next season because some wee F@nnys have broke seats you can ram that up your hoop mibby it’s time the stewards and the police actually started doing their job a wee bit better than they clearly have been doing

Why should fans who have sat in that stand for years be made to fork out more money just because someone has broke a seat?

That`s not what I`ve said,

If you wanna sit in the North West by the corner flag, then it should cost more due to the extra costs to the club.

That whole corner needs renovated to accommodate that section of support. Safe standing, nets etc.

Anymore of It and you`ll be sitting in the norrie.

So that is what you have said then because that’s exactly where my seat is second row in the wee section right next to the wall and tbh I pay enough for my season ticket in a stand that’s for want of a better term falling to bits so again if you think I should pay more then you can poke it up your farter you mentioned nothing about renovating the NW until someone called out your post

If you read later on in the thread, I have clarified my position.

If there is any more of the unruly behaviour, then your seat will be in the norrie even though you had nothing to do with it.

We have to work with the young team and the ultras, give them a section of the ground (they seem to have chosen that area), and make it safe standing. Put nets up, cctv, extra security. And if they still choose to be in that area, the season ticket price will reflect that.

The fact that you are currently sitting there is unfortunate in this concept, and for that, I apologise.

Anything else we do... we are just going to end up back here in 6 months time.

I used to go in the north west stand just because it was easier for me to get a quick getaway from the match but as I am not a season ticket buyer the option of getting into the NW stand is no longer available to me as when I ask to get a ticket I am told it is sold out, so i dont know how some of the posters are suggesting it could be the walk up supporters that may be the problem.

The north west didn’t sell out by the end of the renewal period the seats left over then went on general sale and when the league season kicked off they then went on sale on a walk up basis so it’s entirely possible that it’s folk don’t go every week

Why not run the linesman down the other side of the park from the North West stand?

How about a TIFO in the main stand that says, "Stop chucking stuff on the pitch ya fannies"?

Someone should start a go fund me…

I’ve got to be honest, it’s a bunch of teenagers. It’s not like we’re dealing with a mob of hardened Eastern European men. I’m pretty certain simple things like anyone under 16 should be accompanied by an adult. No more than 3/4 per adult. Ban balaclavas or at the very least make them look at the cameras as they come in. I don’t know how good the CCTV is at EEP but if we need to update them, then the club might just have to do that. It would probably cost a small fortune but it may also help cut out the idiots.

Btw I can understand why they want to bring in pyro. I actually like a wee bit of pyro-it can really add to the atmosphere BUT I don’t want someone being hurt or the pyro being thrown on the pitch. Football authorities world wide turn a blind eye to it then condemn anyone caught with it. I don’t see how they couldn’t set up an area where at the start of the game you can set your pyro off there then stick it in that bucket of water when it’s done. Maybe modern day H&S gets in the way 🤷🏻‍♂️

Rigger Al, Some Pyros are classed as explosives, all Pyros smoke can cause breathing difficulty in an instance. Apart from being illegal to be in possesion of at all football grounds they are simply dangerous. DAFC is right to sort this out, pity other clubs ignore the issue and do nothing to erdicate them. Breaking seats, Pyro throwing onto the pitch and throwing objects at officials is going to cost the club big money and may see Assistant Referees swapped over to remove the personal threat given to them. Simply sad people in a sad situation.

im agreeing ,Some posts defending having them as it brings atmosphere and saying the club are being over reactive ,My point was defending the club stance and that they are against the law
