HeartOfCity Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 I saw the Orlando pride game with the smoke and it was pretty cool! Just not sure who controls it, if its the stadiums or ffa then that would be rubbish. But if the give the active area 10 or so to do with what they wish then that would be ok in my book.

Jimmy Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 This is a great move from the FFA. I’m equally surprised and excited. The problem now though, is that they’ll have to undo their media campaign that has created the public perception that flares are dangerous and evil. The active support is really the league’s best asset. The more they do to encourage it and let it be all that it can, the better and more robust the league will be. Keep up the good work.

n i k o Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 Could be the most suprising move by the FFA ever. I'd have thought promotion relegation was more likely to happen than this. As to the outcome I'm sceptical on both sides. Sceptical the FFA won't make a blunder of this and also sceptical the supporters will find a way to fuck up this leniency.

And I'm serious. Edited March 10, 2018 by jw1739 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haz Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 Dont worry guys, they will be no more then kids sparklers that dont produce more smoke then a durry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjake1234 Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 The problem I have with flares, beside the safety aspect, is that the smoke obscures the view for players as well as spectators and can interrupt the game. So, unless FFA are looking at something that produces less smoke, I remain against them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mr MO Posted March 10, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) Surely they gotta be kidding right????? So all this season they've been working on Gallops contract extension, fucking kids sparklers to be allowed and patenting a Wanderers song. Personally I would have thought the following might have more priority, only to mention a few; League expansion Promotion of the actual game Scheduling it properly around international breaks and avoid silly breaks Becoming a bloody proper football federation lined up with worlds standard Stop being fucking nobs Edited March 10, 2018 by Mr MO 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forever City Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 (edited) The FFA is just pandering to the active supporter groups to get them back on side. When they leave, then the fans will come on side. Edited March 11, 2018 by Forever City Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured it would just be smoke only but curious to see if there has been clarification on anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofhearts Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Hopefully next they'll legalize ripping seats out of the stands and beating opposition fans with them. Would be the natural progression of course. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jovan Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 I think it its a great initiative. But it needs to be done in the right way. I suggest you get a capo or some large bloke or group of blokes to hold up the low temperature smoke emitting devices and wave them around in the YMCA type motion just after the VAR lights signify a goal and the McDonald's add has finished, so that can in turn trigger a prearranged pitch invasion of 25 already selected under 12s mini roos kids can go and hug the goal scorer. If you don't do things right there is no point doing it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be perfectly honest I'm happy if this comes to fruition (the legal pyro). Do I think it helps the atmosphere? Yes it does, regardless what side of the fence you stand it does create more atmosphere. However getting the governing body to 'normalise' the use of flares will go a way I think to removing the stigma of football being unsafe for people, which is a anti football push anyway from the media. At least in theory I hope this is what happens and that it also goes someway to getting active support, at least the good part of it, back to what it was.
