Take an in depth look at this.

Goodness help us if British Football Fans ever have to experience such incidents as these at our grounds. Take a good look at the whole of this presentation as given through this week's FSF News Letter. http://www.facepyrofacts.co.uk/facts.html#about

i always used to regard them as dangerous. was at peterborough last season when one went off in our section of the crowd.

having said that the clubs/countries/grounds that introduce pyro-technics at the start or end of a match encourage encorouge smoke bombs etc

I quite like pyrotechnics pre-match as they can ramp up the atmosphere, as proven in recent Welsh rugby matches at the Millennium Stadium. I think it's the mindset of the person doing it, they are morons who would do it irrespective of whether the club has used them.

I have no idea why someone would use a smoke bomb or flare at a sporting event though.
