Here we go again, the Chairman is passing on important information that could affect the club in a monetary way; on all social media including this madium he is pilliored. If you want to behave in a manner that is outside of the rules/laws regarding football stadia crack on, if you are then ejected from the ground/reported to the authorities dont fecking moan. In my opinion he has put it out there in an understandle format, if you want the club to suffer from the actions of a minority that is your right. My cousins husband who is a lifelong Gashead and in is 70's and also infirm, was pushed to the floor on the east terrace recently by over zealous goal celebrations which could have seriously affected his health - yeah fecking big laugh isn't it Best post on this thread by a country mile. Perfectly clear statement and still the usual moaners attack the Chairman. Makes you wonder what their motives are.

He did not say anything and no charges have been pressed Literally nothing, or nothing to get het up about? He made no racist comments, in fact he assures me he said F##k all.... Being a gentleman in his 80's i'm pretty sure he would not make a racist comment because he was brought up proper, unlike some of us.. ( Including me cause i was born in Southmead Hospital)

I don't see anything wrong with what hamer has said , it's simple really, he's been warned about our future conduct and he's passed it on down the line. I don't get why posters feel aggrieved with this ? We can celebrate goals but not act like arseholes , I welcome this.

In the Thatchers end there is a group that deliberately push people infront of them 'for fun' - regardless of whether we have scored or not or think it funny as a gang to constantly tap people on the shoulders to annoy them. Along with letting off smoke bombs etc. If people on here really think that's acceptable and the chairman is being a kill joy then you really are pathetic pricks full stop.

Family moved to Dribuild for that reason. Plus we get to lord it over everyone.

May seem funny to some - but make no mistake - OUR football club is under notice - and those who think it is funny will be the first to complain when our Club is dealt with. Our club is no more under threat than many others. Smoke flares go off most weekends at many premiership clubs. I don't see them being collared anytime soon. It happened at Wolves as well. I agree with SH about standing in the aisles. That is potentially dangerous. But again, if you watch M of the D you see it on there and at grounds where we go where standing is the name of the game. The answer is of course to build us a all seater stadium at the UWE, but sadly we will never see any meaningful improvements.

2 ways to sort this problem out :- Get a snatch squad to grab the offenders and then ban them for life.... or Just point out to the steward that the person made a racist remark and they will be banned for life instantly Are you saying that all the trouble makers are female

I don't think anyone is actually criticising Hamer himself, rather the farcical nature of the statement.
The fact that several people seem to think he has a fair point, is perhaps indicative of how pampered and 'fluffy' we have become as a nation.
Okay, I can see a case for not allowing smoke bombs, although don't have an issue with them myself, but straying onto the yellow lines, and jumping up and down too vigorously when scoring? Seriously?
To the people agreeing with the statement, I would suggest instead of concentrating on some far fetched hypothetical situation of us getting points deducted or fined, you actually read it to see what nonsense you're endorsing.

It's not about "jumping up and down too vigorously when scoring" - if I'm in the Blackthorn I partake in a bit of jumping around myself, and have no problem if somebody accidentally knocks against me. It's the group(s) who think that it's a laugh to deliberately push their mates down the terrace as part of their "celebrations" - there's nothing spontaneous about it. I don't stand near to these groups by choice, but even if you're stood further down the terrace you're likely to get one of them cannoning into you.

I am not necessarily endorsing a "nonsense" statement; I have mentioned an incident on the Dribuild Terrace where an elderly man was lucky to escape serious injury - that is not fluffy. Others have pointed out this group of "fans" who push people down the terracing, this could cause serious injury to a female or juvenile fan. Would you class that as trivial? At some stage the authorities will enact upon the advice they are giving to (probably) all football clubs; and that could really spoil someones season. All the best

And people do not stray on to the yellow lines; they spend the whole match standing on them. (Dribuild Enc.)

I don't see the problem with the request, don't let off flares, don't push people about, and if a steward asks you to shuft, don't argue, just comply. Especially when elf and safety are about.

Standing in the gangway, letting off some smoke, and jumping up and down when we score! Absolutely terrifying behaviour! It may seem trivial, but it will have been noted by the inspecting authority who were in attendance, and no doubt a close eye will be kept on us regarding future behaviour. Not so trivial if it results in the club being sanction in some way. I think that was the point of SH's comment - that it WAS noted by the inspecting authority, but the way it is described sounds pretty harmless and it seems to me is to do with us not being all-seater.

Lets make it perfectly clear.
If you want the club to have any chance of getting "safe" standing installed into the proposed new stadium at the Mem there will have to be no warnings and fines etc now from the authorities.
Continued attention from the authorities will see the issue ended by the insistence of all seater at the stadium.

There's a world of difference between a natural goal celebration and the antics of those brain dead morons you describe. It's just so cowardly to shove someone in the back or to continuously try to irritate while in a gang of mates. I haven't come across that sort of behaviour since my school days and it's hard to believe one gashead would do that to another gashead at the Mem.

Sad thing is if you front them up you become a target for the rest of the game and are in threat of getting whacked. As I have witnessed on more than one occasion everyone being Gasheads on the Thatchers End means nothing to certain groups - they will bully and fight anyone for fun sadly.
