Chesterfield (H) - Play-off 2nd Leg, Friday 16th May, 8pm

Tactical pantomime.

Dunno what they were trying to achieve though.

I thought it was a strange thing to do but wondered if they came out early to thank their fans due to the expected pandemonium that would ensue at the final whistle.

It was definitely designed to try and unsettle things. It was just annoying.

Not at all. I like nothing more than paying to watch bunch of selfish twits nearly sabotaging one of most important results in recent history. Subjecting their children to potential injury and inhalation of flare smoke was worthy of the ticket price alone. :roll_eyes:

Those that went on after the goal, it’s stupid and I get there can be emotion, but emotion isn’t lobbing flares when on the pitch, punching a stewards gut, pushing players, that’s just being a nob.

I didn’t go on the pitch until the final whistle where I went and hugged every other Walsall fan I could. What a moment, what it’s all about.

Chill out mate - these things seem to be standard at PO semis these days… try not to let it spoilt the moment for you….

I’m not condoning the actions at all and I have no clue how flares find their way into a football ground where fans are searched on entry! Can anyone explain this?

Happy. Sad. Confident. Not confident. Elated. Depressed. Miserable. Meh. The best team in the league. The worst team in the league. Sadler’s a mastermind. Sadler out. Going to Wembley :man_shrugging:t2::rofl:

I just dont know anymore. A bonkers ending to an absolutely bonkers season

I have a clue. Some cretins buy them and succeed in smuggling them in despite being told repeatedly that they pyros are banned, they are dangerous and it is a crime even to attempt to enter a ground with them. The sanctions are a criminal conviction, a fine, possible imprisonment and a banning order. Clubs can search people, but if the clowns didn’t bring them along it wouldn’t be an issue. The morons are to blame.
I speak as someone nearly hit with one at Port Vale.

Agree I found it really strange, I’ve never seen it before.

They were certainly trying to get their fans at it.

I agree re the flares, love the smoke. The rest I’m not so sure.

The club suggested getting there early as there’d be queues going in with stewards searching everyone. Well none of the 20+ folks in front of me got searched, all waved through

They are not allowed to search under 18s. That’s why they are easy to get in

Me neither, probably because the steward had to jump on the turnstile to scan tickets :see_no_evil_monkey:

Minor question - why did we wear all red last night and not our home kit with white shorts?

Their away shorts seem to be a salmon colour, potential clash with our white?

They wore blue shorts

No idea why we didn’t wear white shorts last night. Not really bothered for the playoffs but I do hope with stick with white shorts for next season, I think it looks so much better than all red.

Not over yet either, know exactly what you mean though, I’ve been quiet on here since Crewe because from a footballing perspective my heads gone.

The fact remains that the wrongdoing starts with the people smuggling them in. The club should do its best to identify the pillocks and ban them.

Question: Would other supporters should turn them in?
