Alex Kintner Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 UEFA warned it is 'impossible' to use pyrotechnics safely in a stadium with independent study urging crackdown An independent report has stressed it is impossible to use pyrotechnics safely within spectator areas at football grounds and only properly equipped and trained staff should ever try to deal with them. Commissioned by Football Supporters Europe and UEFA, the 72-page report has been prepared by Cambridgeshire-based 'explosives consultant' Dr Tom Smith and several leading experts from around the continent. The report lists the various pyrotechnics brought into grounds by fans - everything from bangers to Roman candles - and identifies the serious risks they pose, which include severe burns, acute toxic effects, impact injuries and causing panic. As Dr Smith concludes: 'There are significant health and safety risks arising from their use in close proximity to other people and in contravention of the safety distances which are specified on the pyrotechnic articles themselves. 'All pyrotechnic devices have a "safety" distance for good reason and which will exceed the available space within a crowded stand or stadium. It is not safe, therefore, for any pyrotechnic device to be used in spectator areas within football stadia.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CONTROLLED MANNER. 14 year old in 2013. Also been a 13 year old and 67 year old killed at matches. There’s loads of fans getting banned by their clubs. There’s loads of clubs getting hammered by their FAs or forced to play matches behind closed doors. All of this is the context of the “controlled” displays you say are happening across the continent every week. The experts say they’re dangerous. UEFA have banned them.

English referee Mark Clattenburg was forced to stop the match between Croatia and Czech Republic after fans threw red-hot missiles.” “Several Sunderland fans were either injured by the projectiles or had property damaged by smoke bombs thrown from above.” “A FOOTBALL fan was killed by a flare after last night's World Cup qualifying match between Wales and Romania in Cardiff.” “Falkirk's artificial surface was damaged after a flare was thrown during their Scottish Cup defeat by Rangers.“ “Wolves have warned supporters they will be prosecuted if they bring flares or other pyrotechnics into Molineux after a fan was injured during the match with Aston Villa.” “At 4.10pm at the King Power Stadium at the Leicester City versus Burnley game, a flare was thrown into the away fans end, striking a young child.” “Russia goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev has thanks fans for their support after he was struck by a flare thrown during a Euro 2016 qualifier in Montenegro.” No pyro, no party ??

The pyrotechnics displays we had during the Firework Phil era had to be a certain distance away from the fans. There would be no way to do that while a match was being played. These were also visual pyrotechnics with minimal smoke. Smoke bombs are purposely designed to create lots of smoke.

I know it is still illegal.... Also thought the young team helped things along with the atmosphere. Of course it would be preferable if the sectarian nonsense wasn’t there. I guess since I started attending football many moons ago there’s always been an unsavoury element within a section of the Hearts support. It’s wrong and shouldn’t be there but I wouldn’t say it offends me. Part of me also thinks booing it, although well intentioned is exactly what they are after. Young daft laddies acting like ‘rebels’ (?) will often feed off such a reaction, imo. Although I get for some it’s hard not to react when something’s sung that they don’t like. I assume you weren't seated directly behind them?
