Honestly, how does this penalty stop this from happening though?
They need to find the perpetrators and ban them for life. And continue to do so until it stops.
4 clubs have had flares at games this season. What happens when another club does it? Same penalty? Just asking.

I think a precedent has been set now.

If flares are lit then all clubs should now face the same penalties that is the only way to deal with it.

Unfortunately i don't think Gallop has balls to enforce it.

I agree, and that is the corner Gallop has painted himself into.
ESFC, MV and City have all also had flares this season. Where was the outrage then?
Gallop has not changed from his NRL days. Reactionary is his only weapon.

I'm curious to see how he reacts if flares are lit at a non Wanderers game.

The best thing the ARLC done was to get rid of Gallop as soon as they could.

Love to know what Gallop should have done in your eyes. Nothing ?

Oh Gronk? Seriously?
You really want to know?

For a start, how are these things getting in in the first place?
I went to the game in Melbourne and I could have walked in with a dozen, such was the lax security.
Secondly, I would have closed the RBB end at Pirtek for minimum 3 games.
Thirdly, life bans.

It's just his persecuting of all thing Western Sydney. Reckon the RBB should just go let off flares in all the other supporter areas. Do the other teams even have supporters? I haven't seen any flares set off, so probably not

It's your club's problem mate. Fix it yourselves.

Better question is why they are getting in rather than how. I blame the Bulldogs element

I honestly believe the standing thing provides perfect cover for doing dodgy shit.

They should threaten to ban standing if merkins continue to do stuff

Tonya Harding could patrol the RBB with her baseball bat, knee capping merkins who stand up.

They have. Gallop said it himself today. Several times. Virtually non existent at Pirtek for 2 season now.
How does the club solve the problem at away games?
Come on. Tell me. You're the genius in these matters.

Truly mate, it would still happen if merkins were sitting.
And how do you stop people from standing? Kick 2000 people out?
Seriously, there's probably a dozen of these douche bags who continue to do this. They'll be weeded out eventually, and be replaced by another dozen douche bags.

Genius ? Drop the crap.

You DO have a problem and there is no point in deflecting blame.

So it's other peoples fault because WSW fans can get flares in ? :roll: "If you don't want the bank robbed, don't put one there !" :roll:

You need to fix your problems from within. Not stand around critiquing others when they try and fix up the mess that you are responsible for.

Yep. Okie dokie. :lol:
I told you what I would have done.
Gallop has only made it worse.

Don't put words in my mouth.
No, you tell me how they are supposed to stop it at away games?

Suity

The answer lies with my question. What is WSW doing about it ? YOU need to control your fans. Blaming other clubs/venues is a cop out.
