If I see who throws it I will be assisting the authorities with my finger pointing - you are doing our football Club (not yours) a huge disservice

BFC does not need any idiot who brings these dangerous things into footie grounds and certainly not endangering players, officials, supporters etc

You will get caught - and that’s a promise
 
As it's now getting very dangerous at football these days, I think we should all dress accordingly.

Better to be safe than sorry.

On the pedantic front, a flare is different to a smoke bomb which is different to a smoke grenade.

I can’t believe you are recommending this… Someone would get terrible burns if that suit caught fire….

Hopefully no kids are viewing this advice !!

KIDS - DO NOT WRAP YOURSELVES IN BUBBLE WRAP IN PUBLIC SPACES
 
I understand that it's covered by the legislation, but if we looked at the number of injuries caused in a crowd by them I dare say they'd be at about zero.

Be interesting to look at the HSE list of notifiable injuries as a result of them?

I've googled it and I can't find anything.

That's not too say it's legal; it's clearly not and ultimately the person with them is at risk of a legal issue, and potentially the club could receive a fine; but they aren't particularly dangerous.

And it always feels as though football fans are treated differently to everybody else.

It's fine at some events like this colour run...

I’m pretty sure that in that photo the runners are throwing powder sachets not using smoke bombs.

All these who try to justify the use of these smoke bombs/flares or whatever, if they are that safe I suggest they set them of down their pants to demonstrate this. 🙄

Because that's how they are indeed to be used?

It's like saying if you think a car is safe, stand in front of one and ask the driver not to brake!

Held aloft in outdoor environment is safe; it's not legal, but it's safe.

No, like, they actually aren’t the same

In which case, throw one at the next game then make it clear it was you. You seem to think the authorities will think its fine.

If its not a safety issue, why was there a scorch mark on the pitch clearly visible for the rest of the game in the area? If it scorched wet grass what would it do in contact to a polyester shirt?
 
If only our fans were as vocal about the Nottingham Forest fans who threw bottles from the top tier, into the bottom tier, while we were celebrating our goals.

But then, I suppose, that doesn’t fit the AVFTT agenda of most that Blackpool fans are scum bags who go to football merely to cause trouble and harm to people.

Where did I say the authorities will think it’s fine?

Smoke bombs and flares are NOT the same. It’s fact.
 
Wizaard said:
Pedantic point. The outcome will be the same if caught.

And you haven't said why these safe smoke bombs caused wet grass to catch fire. Very safe with no health and safety risk.

Literally didn’t set on fire, did it? 🤣.

Quit it with your scaremongering.
 
Wizaard said:
No, but there was a clear scorch mark which was generated through heat.

Like when you are ironing and you get distracted it leaves a scorch mark on your shirt, wouldn't happen if I was wearing the shirt I'd move, unusual way to iron I know, and I would never wear a polyester shirt just because of the safety implications!

Err...yes they are.
They're both banned from grounds. That's a fact.

And if BFC get fined for them being persistently used, the club has made it clear that it'll get taken off the football budget.
So do you support the club and oppose banned items being brought in the ground?
Or are you selfish?
Your choice.

When did I say they weren’t banned? I simply stated that they aren’t the same, because they aren’t.

Stop squirming.

You have a dim view of Blackpool fans who disapprove of their use, and downplay their effect as "scaremongering".

Anyway, like I say, your choice whether you support the club or not.

They aren't smoke bombs. It is powder paint and is totally harmless.

That comes originally from the Hindu festival, Holi.

Maybe use some powder paint instead! :)
