I've fired up one of those in the stands when I was about 16. As soon as the stewards went after me, I tried to hide it by leaving it on the concrete and putting it out by stepping on it, unknowing that it holds a temperature around 1600 degrees celcius. Melted my sneakers that day.
When a teenager I had a suit made and asked for wide lapels, flare trousers and no turnups.I had a pair of bright pink satin Oxford Bags, I sent hours ironing them and then wouldn't sit down until I was on my way home from the disco
The tailor made it narrow lapels, straight leg and with turnups.
I had paid in advance and was a kid so I swallowed it.
The suit was like the ones worn by Sean Connery at the time and looks great when I look at old photos but I wanted to look like Budgie!
I've voted hate, but in the context of setting them off in the stadium and throwing them onto the pitch - could cause serious injury.
But outside, they do look quite spectacular, trouble is they tend to be in the hands of irresponsible idiots.

So flares I hate, main reason is the same as many have already posted on. I don't trust the person that's got one lit. (don't trust him not to hold it above my head, drop it on me, throw it at me, think it's a lightsabre, all after he's had 10 pints and a few grams of coke - fuck right off with that).
Smoke bombs - these are better because as far as I know, they don't burn at a temperature capable of melting the sun. Although I've heard they can mess up your threads if you're holding one(??).
I don't like the use of them in the stadium unless they are before KO and used as the teams come out the tunnel, I think they look great then. However, let's be clear, I'm talking about what it looks like where they are used in ultra cultures, so not in UK stadia, so hundreds of them going off at the same time. In UK stadia they look absolutely pathetic as Jonny is holding up the only one.
I've long been a proponent for wishing we would hold more of a "welcoming" of rival fans to our stadium (and also for cheering our lads into the ground) on match days. Think they look absolutely great when used this way (even Jonny's solo effort).

Yeah when at Norwich was right near one and it's fucking horrible
The smoke gets right into your lungs. Very anti-social. Horrible things, used by thick, selfish twats.
I love them, but you need the ultras to handle them, so in England that doesn't work, because the english don't have the "ultras" mentality.
In the Balkans, the pyro shows are incredible to watch and not dangerous at all (in most cases), because the Ultras understand that it's for show.
In England, they're a disruption because in most cases they're handled by dickheads who want to disrupt the play/cause trouble.

I liked it when the Scum fans decided to set one off from their end at 3-0
:bergwijnconfused:
Time and a place but I like them.
I smoked for 28 years mate...... Bit rich me objecting on that basis.
Looks good on TV tho.
Not a fan.
