WATFORD NO to glowsticks but what about lighters with torches??

[xollob]

So in desperation to pretend there are no away fans, Watford have banned glowsticks !!! SHAME ON THEM BOO HISS !! However in every £1 shop and 99p store you can buy cigarette lighters that have torches built into them. It just so happens that the torches are available in either BLUE or WHITE and they are actually very bright too. Even better news is that they are £1 or 99p per pack of 4.
Surely not even a big club such as Watford could ban these!

Good idea, also many mobile/smart phones have a built-in torch

As much as Watford have tried to ruin our light up the away end idea, the more it should make us determined to do it. Ok they have banned glow sticks and as the idea was to show us lighting up our section it would be impossible to hide them while doing so. So YEAH TORCHES ON LIGHTERS, PHONES AND MAYBE EVEN JUST TORCHES. I'm off to the £1 shop later to stock up !!!

Thanks heavens this nonsense has been stopped

This is now the GAYEST thing i've ever seen on NSC.

 

[Window Licker]

Wouldn't these cheap lighters be classed at "laser equipment" which is also banned?

It's a Football match,not a fcuking Live Aid Concert.
Please can we drop the ideas and get back to doing the normal away fans ritual - standing and chanting.

I'm truly amazed at how sad our fans are becoming, do we really need f***ing lights to create an atmosphere. I've never seen anything so pathetic, glow lights ! Lighters ! Torches ! f*** sake next you'll be urging people to bring the fairy lights of their Christmas trees !

It's a Sussex thing to stand up to people that say no and reply with a big FU. If you're not Sussex enough to stand up against the bullies then carry on cowering in the corner agreeing to everything you're told to do.

May I ask your age? The playschool my niece goes to are trying to organise something similar for when the clocks go back.

My main question would be ................................. WHY??

 

[Another Berkshire Seagull]

Yeah...stop trying to organise something a bit different. Don't you remember how much of a flop those flags were in the first Amex match.

Don't worry I won't be. Much like the other 1400 other supporters in the stand.

 

[Perkino]

There must be plenty of ways you can sneak some glow sticks into the stadium, put them around your arms and legs as they won't search everybody and they're not exactly dangerous items

 

[StonehamPark]

Can't believe those that are against this idea. Yeah let's be boring and dull like every other away support, boo every creative and original idea.
Can't stay the 'why...' people.

Nice touch for the gig

Don't think the away end at Watford will look quite the same though!

Personally I can't see why someone felt the need to ask Watfords permission for glow sticks and why you are going to follow that advice if you do it on mass anyway. Think it will look good for songs involving clapping, so just do it. Easy enough to hide.
