Hands up who wants to sit or stand next to the guy waving the red hot flare about.

I'm assuming a home made smoke bomb, which tend to be similar to flares? We used to make these for paintball games, and they burn pretty hot. Also if you don't add a moderation chemical or sufficient moderator, its effectively an explosive. Even commercially available ones are classed as a pyrotechnic, because they are effectively a explosive reaction, which is controlled by the moderating chemical slowing the oxidiser and the accelerant. They would be a pyrotechnic because a you light them, I'm guessing? As someone who's used them for recreational activity, what's your take on them in that situation? From my understanding, the stuff that comes out is only toxic depending on what you make it from? The article above alluded to a marine flare, which is basically like a firework, which I don't think are like smoke bombs.

This side issue as you call it will surely be in Steve Parish's mind when he gets the bill for the damage and the hefty fine for the prize immature prats that let of flares and did damage in Chelsea's stadium. Plus the bad press we are going to get when the FA gets going and charges us... You need to think before posting such crap yourself! Stop wetting your pants about it - was there any actual damage done? We all know away fans let off flares at Selhurst all the time, even throwing them on the pitch at times. Not good, but not exactly the end of the world either. If you want football to be sanitised and packaged for the tourists then I suggest you don't go to away games and only sit in the family section at SP. Don't want you getting scared of any loud bangs now do we?

Chelsea fan on 606 kept calling flares "firebombs". Some people need to get a grip.

Genuine question and I do expect a lot of negative responses but it's only to fuel a debate - Are away games supposed to be for kids? I have been taking my son to away games since he was 7 (he is now 20). He used to stand on the seat when everybody else was standing up and it was fine. Fellow fans were always very nice and used to move out of the way so he could see when possible. He always loved it as we always seem to make more noise way from home.

I sometimes wonder if you are old enough to be on these boards...NO ONE is wetting themselves over the flares and YES there was damage done to the toilets and seats by OUR fans which in turn will bring bad publicity to our club. Steve Parish is going the love the fine that the club will get let alone the media coverage and the FA putting there oar in on top.
Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky. |

You say you're not wetting your pants then go on a mad RANT using CAPITALS which only reinforces my point that you are getting things way out of proportion and may need a lie-down in a darkened room for a bit until you regain your composure. Why don't we just wait and see what, if any, fine the club gets, or bad publicity, or damage to the club, or FA sanctions, or whatever, before we have a aneurysm, shall we? In the meantime let's all stay sane and calm and not let a few flares ruin what was one of the best results we've seen in a very long time.

We let some flares off and jonathan Pearce goes on about it on MOTD saying the FA may have to take action etc against the club. COYP

I think you are the one that needs to crawl back into your darkened room as you just do not see how damaging this is to the club and of course the cost and bad publicity that will more than likely happen once the FA stick their oar in.

"John Hill was standing next to his father, also John, 67, when he was hit at the end of the Wales-Romania game in Cardiff in November 1993." He was hit by a marine flare. I don't think anyone here is condoning the use of what is basically a firework being aimed at people. Smoke bombs and the flare used at Stamford Bridge on Saturday aren't a marine flare. Flares I can understand the concern, but smoke bombs I don't see the issue. But yes, let's use misinformation and fear mongering, rather than having an actual discussion using facts.
