Flare throwers

People who throw smoke grenade are antisocial scum. Think nothing for example of asthma suffers and others.

And the damage they do to clothing. One landed at my feet at the 2-2 Fulham match 2 seasons ago. Got red dye all over my trainers which wouldnt come off & ruined them. 

But then people who throw smoke bombs, coins etc dont think of anyone but themselves. 

Too Nigel like behaviour for my liking. 

I think @MrOneLung was sarcastically echoing the idiotic defences made of these ***** that are often trotted out on social media, not defending them.

Fortunately the smoke bomb just missed a women's head. Later a wheelchair user arrived and took up that seat.

Bell ends and as said added nothing to what was a loud, raucous albeit totally one-sided atmosphere.

Henry’s right,  Mr One lungs clue is the no, no 

Someone threw a full bottle of beer when the 'let's pretend we score a goal' happened at the  back. Hit a Charlton fan in the back and soaked him

Proper muggy behaviour. Also, the 2 or 3 lads launching things into the home end half way through the second half. Why? Why do they need to do it?

Cos our bellend count ticking up 

Yep - away end mens toilets smashed up yet again yesterday as well

I think we as a club will get hit with a bill .
The same pricks will be moaning about paying £200 for a season ticket and Thomas should spend  a zillion quid of his dough on our hobby whilst setting us back with £10k of damages … 

I posted this amongst my comments on the Post Match Thread .. but the humour and good spirit never died .. EXCEPT for the mouse brain who somehow contrived to throw a red flare that landed under my seat, and I was near the back, never knew I had so many enemies lol .. thanks to the quick witted young man sat in front of me who grabbed the flare and threw it onto the side of the pitch, an olympian effort .. a young man near me was seriously complaining about the effects of the cloying smoke, cut it out please chaps 

I’ve never really understood the appeal of smashing up toilets and chucking smoke bombs , am I missing out?

I don’t think a charlton fan deliberately threw a flare/smoke at disabled supporters 

Right, but at the very least they were reckless as to where it landed and, when there are disabled supporters/kids around it’s proper dickhead behaviour to be that reckless.

As @oohaahmortimer said above - the knob head element we have at away games has been growing - this predates Covid - I love it when we create a good atmosphere away, chanting etc, but the smoke bombs, smashing toilets, general yobbish behaviour, a fair few coked up people, this needs driving out

We have / had a good reputation as a decent club and decent fans, but we will lose that if this behaviour continues and gets worse

I know all clubs have supporters who are like this, but ours is growing - I mean what on earth is the point of smashing up the toilets when Charlton are getting tonked - indeed smashing up toilets at all, in any circumstances in any situation

Pretty sure our club get billed for any damage as well, so it’s only hurting us - doubt the home team care.

But that’s not the point - it’s our reputation, plus if my kids were young i.e. under 10 (or even under 13 for that matter) I would be reticent to take them to away games, and witness this behaviour / types of people - it’s not seen at The Valley (mind you I’m in the West Stand, and being 51, I must lower the average age in that stand)

I know personally we have definitely got a bad reputation amongst the local old bill up and down the country. Only got to see the increasing police presence at matches to see this in action. Nowhere near the stage of having matches moved to early kick offs, but is definitely moving that way for some matches etc.

I’d imagine that the “reputation” comes with a wry smile from the old bill. Others with a reputation are likely to seek other fans of a similar mindset. A significant bunch of ours would melt at the first sight of a proper firm, which is why they stick to smashing up toilets - dickheads.
