Of course I did, I'm writing a dissertation, I ain't got shit else to do aside from awful jokes.

Not saying we don't want it, merely pointing out that it is illegal in the uk.
Mad that teams get away with it..'no drum levy' wouldn't have it either
Pyro not worth the risk!!!
A couple of Chelsea fans got prison time for trying to take smokebombs into Swansea.

They would have only had a caution had they not tried to sneak them in by disguising them as sheep though.
Teams don't get away with it - the people who bring them into matches in the U.K. usually get ejected, banned and have to appear at the magistrates
Yep - a fella who bought a flare to to the anti-Stratford demo we had when we blocked the high road & the away team coach (Man U?) had to be diverted got a minimum three year ban from WHL even though it was outside the ground.
Liverpool seem to have had a few this season, how do they get round it? Why don't the stewards do anything here? I don't understand it anyway.
simple answer is that smoke tends to shroud more than the individual, flares stand out.
As for the stewards, they've probably assumed that there are too many fans in shell suit trousers and knock off replica tops in a confined space which will always lead to spontaneous combustion due to a static spark.
Liverpool are leading the way with AMF, think they're more smoke bombs tbh
Even if people were going to take pyro they wouldn't say anything on here as has already been pointed out, it's illegal. Exeter fan got jail time and 6 year ban for trying to take one in, although he appealed and got it cut down to 3 years. Not worth it for a minute or so of fun at the game.
Pyro's are ridiculous anyway. Completely alien to the English game. Check out the one at Deportivo in about 2002. Caught light to the roofing and burnt the Riazor roof down injuring fans below. Anyone trying to take one in deserves everything they get IMO.
Also - worth mentioning that the police do have dedicated staff that read football message boards and Twitter to compile "intelligence" - This sort of stuff is only going to hurt us in the long run, joking or otherwise. The police would view this in the same way as airlines view people "joking" about "bombs".

There was one at the match tonight, in the FC Basel end. No idea how someone got into the ground as all the away fans were being thoroughly searched before getting in the ground.
