Mystery of the 'pyrotechnic'
Permalink  
 

At approximately 2.45 p.m. on Saturday 21st March 2015 I was having a jimmy riddle inside one of the many toilets dotted around the inside of the NYS. I thought I would empty the tank before the start of match against the Owls.

Suddenly a voice rang out from the loudspeaker system instructing everyone inside the NYS to leave at once by the nearest exit or to approach a member of staff who would lead them to safety as there had been an incident.

 

'An incident?  Have they run out of pies?', I mused. 

 

Well, I was doing my best to hurry up and leave the toilets when the voice repeated the  same message but with the addition that a 'pyrotechnic' had been set off in the north stand. Then a second voice interrupted the first voice advising people not to leave the Stadium but to stay put.

'Pyrotechnic?' I thought. 'Does that mean a firework?', I pondered.

The two  conflicting messages carried on for about two to three minutes much to the delight of some fans.

Question is, did anyone see or hear the 'pyrotechnic'? I certainly did not. Nor did anyone else I spoke to later on.

Second question is, if anyone sets off a flare during a game do we have to leave the Stadium?

Good question's.

Seemed to be little evidence that this was the cause and that was the effect to make sense of the response.

It was very amusing however.

Tools with the red smoke flares again bottom of the North stand. Sooner we found out which idiots are doing this & making us look utter stupid the better, surely they'll be on CCTV. The one they let off at Wolves at half time in a packed, cramped concourse was utter lunacy. Add that to the Rotherham Owls chant with the C word on the end, totally no need, there's no wonder people don't bring their kids to football. Went to the Arena after, loads of fans singing & chanting, loads of kids enjoying themselves, a super atmosphere, super game and not one smoke flare or swear word in sight

 Must agree, those flares don't half reek!

I'm sure someone will eventually invent aromatic flares to make them more attractive to the buyers.

 perhaps football crackers to be placed under eveyones seat-what a jolly that would be;  A joke, a hat and a plastic player from your team.

I hope that's not a description of our current situation. smile

'Jonnny'  was not involved with the pyrotechnic display.
