Why not have an area set aside for those who want/like smoke bombs?


Somewhere such as 100 yards south of the end of the pier .........:tease:

Smoke bombs can also burn at high temperatures. They are designed for use in open spaces and can be dangerous in confined spaces for those with asthma and breathing difficulties.


It is very difficult to extinguish pyrotechnics once lit because they often contain burning metals. Even after they stop burning, they will be too hot to handle for some time and could still set fire to flammable items like litter. In crowds, flares or smoke bombs cause serious burns, smoke inhalation injuries and panic or asthma attacks.

So in conclusion, they aren't exactly safe. Also fail to see how they add to the atmosphere aside filling the stand with coloured smoke.
 
I can't believe that we are even having this question. It is a no brainer. Of course we shouldn't have them. Anyone with an ounce of sense knows the dangers.
I can tell you here and now, if I see anyone with one at any Southend match, I will personally hand them over to the police. I don't want my club being dragged before the League or FA again or our reputation ruined by a few mindless idiots. The majority of our fans are brilliant but it only takes one person to spoil it for the rest. Rant over.
 
How many more times are we going to have the same debate on this. Please, please, please close this mods. personal opinion only.

Look on the bright side: it could be worse as he could sound like the primary school pupil who has had his foam football banned and won't take no for an answer.

And I would suggest that you are probably not old enough to fully understand the concept of exactly WHY they are dangerous. Did you even have any knowledge of the fire at Bradford before last Saturday? Do you or any of your family have breathing difficulties or conditions?

All these types of devices are illegal in the UK at football grounds. End of story.

I'm posting because the debate on this is a total waste of time. You're entitled to post your opinion and I'm entitled to respond. How I do it is my choice, not yours.
 
Just voted.

Blimey, the North Korean General Election was a close run thing in comparison!

I am just debating my side of the argument hardly taking no for an answer.

So one incident happens (in a wooden stand) and you think that this will happen whenever someone let's off a smoke bomb? I think you lack the concept of what a smoke bomb is. Why don't people go "I remember that time when smoke bombs never caused a fire or death in a football stand" because people always go for the bad option the thing that is 1 in a billion chance and further more it is assumed that the bradford fire was started by discarded cigarette... In a wooden stand.

Seriously? Say that to the loved ones of those that died. Wind your neck in now and shut the **** up
 
Of course, back in the 70's we also had a smoke problem, mainly caused by the programme seller's pipe.

Some evenings, you could barely see the North Bank goal through the haze!
 
I think we're all agreed (well 89.78%) that the only thing that should be on the pitch, except the players and the referee are, of course, streakers!

There's always a place for that sort of interruption.
