If we do so, then they have got us every single time they dont like something!
Its easy to get them fireproofed! The club even said they would pay for it! But its not about that, its principal! They dont need fireproofing and thats why most Ultras are in disagreement to have it done!
I for one would not bow down for the simple reason they dont need doing.

I must admit to being shocked at the above post.............I dont recall ever reading such a contrite and childish post, you do your 'cause' no good whatso ever!
FACT: The Ultras had been warned about the use of smoke pellets on more than one occasion PRIOR to the current ban, but CHOSE to ignore said warnings. Checkout the Ultras own youtube videos, you can clearly see the illegal use of smoke pellets within the ground.
FACT: The club had mentioned that the Flags were a potential fire risk AGAIN on more than one occasion prior to the ban, yet again that advice/concern was ignored.
FACT: The ban was imposed on the club by LCC, the local Fire Safety Officer and the Local Constabulary................NOT by Mick Shultz. Yet the Ultras choose to blame the messenger rather than appeal to the people at the top.
FACT: The club has offered to have the existing Flags fireproofed at their expense. The Ultras choose not to accept saying that 'future flag making' would be jepordised........this despite an excellent suggestion on their own forum about asking for help from the club to purchase a roll of fireproofed material inorder that new flags meet the requirements of the HnS peeps.
The poster also says 'they dont need fireproofing'..........Im afraid that Ground Regulations state otherwise, and each and every fan who enters the ground on a matchday are governed by said ground regs.........principles dont even enter into the equation Im afraid.
Whilst this may read like a rant at the Ultras, I assure you its not, its merely an attempt to try and help some see common sense, principles are all well and good, however when those same principles would lead to a flouting of the law, then they are no longer viable principles IMHO.
There is a middle ground here and the club, for once, has made the first move towards that, surely now the Ultras should seriousy consider reconsidering their current stance as they are in a no win situation. The colour and vibrance of the Ultras matchday display is missed, the club has offered the olive branch, why not grasp it firmly and get back to what you do best, supporting the team and showing visiting fans how it should be done?
I shall now go and sit in the corner and await the missiles!!
