Forza Stasi

I see that what on the public face of it was an initiative to add more support to the team has now turned into confiscating anti state banners and drowning out dissention with a Nikkk sponsored drum.

How quaint.

Football supporters have always had the right to protest against players, managers and directors. How sad that the current regime require these understandable displays of frustration to be stamped upon like some tin pot meaningless dictatorship. It's a shit league 2 football club FFS.

The club is getting more and more like the soviet union by the day.

7 lads stood near the pitch fronted up by a steward and some pr*ck from forza nerd shouting abuse at them about "yoooummmm naat praaaperrr fannns" etc.

End state ....Fletcher Out banner removed.
sad times

So it was deemed unsuitable by the Forza Nerds so the steward removes it, whilst ignoring their swearing and constant standing?

And Charlie the Drummer tried to drown out the "Fletcher Out" chants, because he's his favourite manager

Your favourite manager?

feck me Charlie, who's your least favourite

would the drum prevent people from leaving their seats safely in the event of a soaking wet banner spontaneously bursting into flames?

is the drumstick made of splinterproof sustainably grown timber?
is it made of ASH??!!?? "

The fire safety tosh must be complete bollocks surely?? How do the away team supporters flags and banners have certificates?

To me, that is just an excuse to hide behind completely unacceptable actions.

Indeed.

I hope those under the Forza Nerd big flag have demanded to see the fire safety certificate.

Complete tosh.

If there is any asbestos in any flags at Argo I swear I'll do time.

Knecht, you nerd spot far too much... who cares what these posters say ? We all know the score.

Do the scarves that fans wear have safety certificates, what about the clothes? hang on... did the banner that Zee Zan and that fan of the year woman (or whatever) were carrying around the ground have a safety certificate? did those green and white streamers that F Nerd threw have safety certificates?.......

Absolute bollocks

Know they enemy and thy friends

Of course it's bollocks. But the control freaks are desparate to silence dissent so they come up with shit like this.

I truly despise what PAFC has become.

Very sad. Very predictable and so village,

33 years of neo-liberal conservatism, an education system that tells kids what to think instead of how to think, and the promise of a seat near the trough.

There is no alternative.

#educatedwankers

Are those flags fire proof? was those pieces of paper when they did that piss poor poppy tribute against fire saftey?

no of course not its aload of poppycock

Actually it's true. Only flags and banners with a fire saftey cert are allowed. If they don't pass they aren't allowed out.

Sad but true

And all attitudes and opinions are to have a safety certificate .. readily available from the club shop ... it really is the Soviet Union these days, and is all about message control, not safety.. we know that really. I don't get how people can actually put up with it at HP ... it's insulting, and all for a game of football. Basically they are saying you will be breaking the law if you dare protest.... and that is a fact that those of us who demonstrate about other things in this country on a regular basis, know all about... and is only set to get worse if people allow it. Of course overwhelming numbers involved renders their best laid plans totally ineffective, not that I would be recomending such an act of course .

So ill ask you again.....did that banner that ZZ and Sue (fan of the year thingy) carry a safety certificate?

If the bellend with the drum was a true fan, he would want clueless and his monkey helpers out of our club along with the joke owner.

I would imagine so. Most of them that are ordere online have the certificate. It's just like the one you get on a sofa. Just a label.

They're still there SS68....either at the fanfest, rattling buckets, or sat up in among the jolly green nerds.
Look at the Greens on screen pictures, usual suspects...same self promoting faces every week.

Presumably each set of away fans is contacted in advance by the club, and told to bring proof that their banners are fire-safety compliant? Am I allowed to call this spin about banner removal a crock of shit?
