Flares at Football matches are not good. Dangerous.

I hope that we don't all have to be searched at Brackley after last night.

What is the AFc's position on flares?

I think the clubs stance is umchanged. Flares are banned as they always have been and the owner was ejected.

The chances of Brackley stewards body searching any of our more mature fans would be very high.

I think it was a one-off. I've been watching Alty for 9 years now and I don't think I've ever seen a flare before (in the home end). It's like most things, brilliant for a special occasion but would become tedious if done all the time. I'd assume that the club probably don't allow them but am not too sure on that one. For the record, i think it added brilliantly to the atmosphere at that point last night. We'd just scored the equaliser and were starting to gain the upper hand in the game giving us the momentum. As you say, flares can be dangerous but as it was Moss Lane's first ever playoff match I think I could probably let it slide, just this once.

Good to hear that Brackley have asked for stewarding assistance.  Very sensible in the circumstances.

OK being on a banned list BUT it is too late as soon as one is lit... damage is done... a bit like trying to get toothpaste back into the tube!

So what should have happened then?

They can't do much more than throw the lad out can they?

The flare last night was brilliant! And the people saying it's bad etc... Can you honestly say you didn't enjoy it? Everyone loved it!

Though it is dangerous in the wrong hands/someone who doesn't know what's they're doing. Don't expect any more flares anytime soon, I would allow it if we had a PL team in FA Cup at moss lane but nothing else...

Did the owner (I know who it was) really get thrown out?
