An idea for the ultras

I dont know what the law is on these but they are common in Italian football. How about setting a few red smoke grenades (similar to those used in paintballing) ofs behind our away support as the teams come out. I reckon it would look the dogs balls and would certainly leave an impression.

maybe if they dont let us have them in the ground we could get some ball boysoutside just behind the wall to let them off that would look good if the tower of smoke rose up from behind us

Accy Stan · 06-02-2005, 09:34

i don't think ball boys can set grenades of for health and safety

...along with 'welcome to hell' banners?!! - this isnt turkey, i think with the nature of a minority of conference fans; gestures like red smoke grenades may spark hostility and cause unnecessary trouble for stewards

Aint gonna happen - and woe betide the idiot that tries - he/she will find they will be missing a lot of Stanley games shortly after I imagine....

Aye, we had the idea some time ago, hopefully we can pull it off!

Jimbo T Hornblower · 10-02-2005, 18:54

Aye well, the very best of luck to ya - hope sumat does get organised because it will look the dogs swingers (provided the wind is blowing in the right direction - wheres that roof?) and isnt normally permitted I would have thought... Has anyone contacted the HMS Ark Royal yet???

itl never hapen - the club wil most probli end up getin fined. im not trying 2 put the club down but wouldnt it look a bit taccy? i mean the smoke grenades do look good in huge stadiums with a huge vibrant atmosphere (ie galatasaray) but in front of a 1300 gate i dont think it would be worth the trouble.

Below is a copy of the Footbal Ground Regulations, paragraph's 5 and 6.........I think this says it all really!.......Sorry guys..........and before anyone asks, yes Accrington Stanley DO have to obey these rules.

5. All persons seeking entrance to the Ground acknowledge the Club’s
right to search any person entering the Ground and to refuse entry
to or eject from the Ground any person refusing to submit to such a
search.
6. The following articles must not be brought within the Ground -
knives, fireworks, smoke canisters, air-horns, flares, weapons,
dangerous or hazardous items, laser devices, bottles, glass vessels,
cans, poles and any article that might be used as a weapon and/or
compromise public safety.

We all know smoke bombs arn't allowed.... Theres a lot of things not allowed

Can't wait to take the pics of the ultras waving flags and red smoke though... It's gonna happen and no one is going to get into trouble .

Do you really think Jase and loweiy are stupid? they know the laws ;-)
