Topic: Club statement - North West stand
161. Author: jake89 Date: Mon 4th Nov 2024. 19:30 saltonsgonagetu, Mon 4 Nov 17:33 Alter Ego, Sun 3 Nov 20:40 Yes but supporters still do it but we seem to be the only club driving supporters away while the others just carry on as normal….Imo the flares etc look great and just look at the teams in Europe with their fans and atmosphere with the build up to games… Our supporters throw the pyros on the pitch ,and or vapes coins ,that is the problem ,if you can`t come to football without throwing objects on the pitch ,then I`m afraid spectator sports are not for you . I`ve said it many times, but where else is the behaviour observed at football matches considered acceptable? Throwing objects, spitting, xenophobic/homophobic/bigoted chants and shouts... The club gets fined for this behaviour so every time you see it, imagine someone burning a load of £50 notes. These guys aren`t fans and they aren`t creating atmosphere. Reply
162. Author: Alter Ego Date: Mon 4th Nov 2024. 20:51 Tbh it doesn’t matter now as the NW looks empty. So just don’t throw objects onto the pitch but still keep the pyros on as they look decent from where I sit in the norrie…no pyro…no party.. Mon the Pars! Reply
163. Author: veteraneastender Date: Mon 4th Nov 2024. 21:02 Since 6th June 2023 it`s been a criminal offence to posses pyrotechnics in football grounds - regardless of age, without reasonable excuse. I doubt pleading "no party, no pyro" would satisfy such exemption. Reply

166. Author: pars4life1 Date: Mon 4th Nov 2024. 22:25 Surely folks aren`t just deciding what`s right and wrong based on what the government has told them on that particular day? Pyro is here, it`s popular enough that it`s not going away quickly and just screaming `but it`s illegal` isn`t going to convince anyone who is involved with it to not too. Reply

It ‘may’ add to an atmosphere if there is singing from the crowd/ a whole load of other factors like importance of the game, opposition etc. But the atmosphere is honking because the football is. Sort the football out, get the supporters excited again and the atmosphere (and indeed the section) will return pyro or not. And if the echelons of Scottish Football didn’t want Pyro - they would stop showing it on TV and adverts. A total hypocritical stance from them. As always. Do you think I'm the man?

A real shame as the players loved that corner. The atmosphere has been diminished because the team has been p*sh This is a large part of it! I do wonder if section north west should be Season Ticket only in that area 🤷🏻‍♂️ Not sure if it’s been posted already but the whole of the NW was season ticket holders only last season no idea why the club thought it was a good idea to change it for this season Reply

The two wrongs make a right logic is trying to defend the indefensible. Incidentally, for the avoidance of doubt, it is illegal for minors to purchase and/or possess "adult" fireworks - so anybody under 18 who does so is breaking the law even before they enter a stadium. Can we no aw club together and buy them some kiddies fireworks instead then that way no laws are being broken on that front? Reply

These guys aren`t fans and they aren`t creating atmosphere. How much have they been fined? And when? Stated in the last update from the club that we are on our "last warning". I assume that means a fine? Furthermore, as these idiots can`t control their behaviour it means more stewards and potentially policing. This all adds cost to the club, and that`s before the cost of repairing all the damage these morons have done to the stand. The last update suggested this had cost thousands of pounds. It truly is pathetic that people, including many adults, have to resort to smashing things and throwing objects. Perhaps a money maker for the club could be to put up a glass frame and advertise it as a primate exhibition? Worth noting that part of the reason the club is in such a state now is the result of the behaviour of an abusive minority of "fans" who basically hounded Ross McArthur out the door by shouting and spitting on him. Would these people go to work and act this way? Reply
174. Author: Alter Ego Date: Tue 5th Nov 2024. 21:19 I highly doubt the state of the club is in is the abuse Ross Mcarthur took all those years ago… it’s the state our German investors have left the club in and wanting to sell up. Their strategy has not worked or their investment leaving us with an absolute joke of a training academy. Well done our German friends👏 Mon the Pars! Reply
175. Author: jake89 Date: Tue 5th Nov 2024. 21:26 The Germans really invested in McArthur. He left, they had to hire a replacement. More money down the pan. Others left and had to be replaced. Even if disagreeing with that premise, you can`t disagree that fan behaviour is costing the club much needed cash. You may spend £24 to get in but that goes down the pan when the club is paying over a hundred quid to fix the seat you smashed and putting on additional security because you`re too thick to keep your vape in your pocket.

Would these people go to work and act this way? Why would you act the same way at the football as you do at work? 🤷🏻‍♂️ Nothing wrong with going to the football and singing/shouting/cheering And whoever said about the hypocrisy of pyro - I’m 100% with you! Huge complaints about the pyro before the semi finals… just wait until they’re advertising the final 👍🏻 Actually Aberdeen tbf to the club, decided to put on their own pyro pre-match against Rangers and I don’t recall their being any other issues with pyro on the night 🤔 What I would say is EEP under the lights is something else and the nights we have a bouncing NW stand really add something. Surely the club could set off a bit pyro as the players leave the dressing room 🤷🏻‍♂️ COYP Reply
177. Author: jake89 Date: Tue 5th Nov 2024. 21:34 NMC, perhaps work isn't a great example but consider it "acceptable behaviour" in the context of where you are. It`s all outlined on the club website. Come along and sing, chant, do whatever. Just don`t lob coins, vapes, cups or whatever at players and officials, set off pyros or smash seats/toilets/signs etc. That isn`t normal behaviour. If you lose your **** that much over a game of football then you could probably do with some counselling. I DO like the idea of a club organised display but I'd guess it needs a licence and the residents of Halbeath Road might not appreciate it. Post Edited (Tue 05 Nov 21:36) Reply

Author: veteraneastender Date: Wed 6th Nov 2024. 09:26 "I DO like the idea of a club organised display but I`d guess it needs a licence and the residents of Halbeath Road might not appreciate it." The club would require a licence from the local authority otherwise they`d be breaking the law. That requires staff doing professional training in the safe handling etc. of fireworks/pyrotechnics. I can`t see DAFC going down that road, even in Fife Council were amenable which it won`t be for a variety of reasons. Reply
