I'd stick with the flame things and that would be it for me. Possibly stick them in front of the away fans with a threat that they may topple if misbehave. Nothing else needed, especially for this one.
They burnt down their own town can’t see those being a threat tbh🤣

Octopus Energy saving session from 6:30 to 7:30 - turning the lights off for a few minutes will save a few quid.

It's tinpot beyond belief. Doing it today just gives the scum something to take the piss about.
Im sure Palace do lightshows as well. There was , IIRC plenty of piss taking on here about how tin pot it was and how we wouldnt do it.

Im guessing it is a TV contractural thing, probably for the Yanks, who like all that jazzy shite

Im not a fan, but if they are going to do it, at least put some coloured bulbs in, install a sound to light and lets have a half decent 70's disco vibe!!!

Continuing Americanization of the game along with the Fan Zone, Fan cam or whatever they call it

Biggest issue for me is that it completely obstructs a genuine atmosphere developing organically from the stands.

Why would you want to silence your own fans?

This is it for me.

It was the Bournemouth game when we'd managed to finally break down a stubborn defence and get the winner and rather than allowing us to cheer and clap the players off we had this nightmare instead.

Weirdly on Peacock though you hardly see anything anyway. They have graphical overlays, ads and studio chatter and you’d be hard pressed to know anything was even happening

The flag thing still confuses me.

Is it club policy that we aren’t allowed to get it out when the players are on the pitch before kick off so they might actually see it?

We seem to get it out after the players have warmed up and gone back in, and put it away before they come back out.

It’s just incredibly pointless
