No pyro’s, no p…..

Important Safety Notice: Pyrotechnics at Wembley

We would like to take this opportunity to remind all supporters that it is a criminal offence to be in possession of a pyrotechnic device - whether ignited or not - when entering or inside a football stadium.

www.sufc.co.uk

If you’re searched and found with one on entry, you don’t get in to watch the game. If you’re caught inside then you are looking at a football banning order.

Wembley boasts 50 ultra high definition cameras covering every single seat within the stadium. If a Pyro is ignited, they can pinpoint the exact seat position and numpty holding it.

Save yourself the problems and just don’t do it… it you feel you need to play with pyro’s, then make sure you do it somewhere safe and public away from others.

Sorry, boring alert I know .

Is facial recognition also in use in Wembley? You might also lose your job and be shamed on the streets of London and having your credit score affected by your desire to have fun

Glad the club has posted that, It’s now perfectly clear to me, I’m staying well away from pyrotechnics, just taking the fireworks in, absolutely no pyrotechnics.

I mean when the majority of people will be sat in the seat that has been purchased in the name of themselves, of someone known to them… common sense says it won’t take much tracking down will it?

I personally don’t get the pyro’s. My boring medical side tells me that anyone with severe respiratory conditions, who happen to be in close proximity to whoever is setting them off, are highly likely to suffer as a result of a supposed ‘bit of fun’.

The fun can be had supporting the team and having a sing and shout.

Are they doing cavity searches?

Seconded, someone (who was subsequently nicked) let one off under the bridge at Wembley Park Underground while I was passing recently. The effect it can have on someone with respiratory conditions is no laughing matter.

You’re right, I was taking it in a slightly dystopian, 1984 direction. I’m not a real fan of Pyro, was at Forest in the ‘90’s when that kid got burnt by a flare so I do understand the dangers. I also know that the modern smoke bombs can also cause respiratory problems as well as getting very hot. I don’t know the numbers in terms of risk to asthma sufferers, but like peanuts on planes, I’m sure the risk is quite low…

I just find it crazy that in this day and age, Pyro in a stadium is policed more strongly than violent crime or immigration issues. Like speeding it’s a low hanging fruit for the authorities

The irony though is that if the concern of the stadium was respiratory issues, they wouldn’t have set off their own pyro at the FA Cup final, you’d expect that it’s about control

If it was suddenly acceptable to use pyro, everyone would take their own and once a goal went it it wouldn’t be unreasonable that 10-20 smoke bombs would go off in the stands. That would obviously create problems of safety.

In my experience in Europe, everyone doesn't take their own. The use of safe flares is co-ordinated by the supporters' groups or Ultras. The flares they use aren't dangerous, don't cause respiratory problems and only last about 30 seconds. They aren't thrown. People hold them or they are placed on the floor.

That’s Europe, very different prospect in many ways

The presumption is that everyone else can be trusted to act responsibly but the British can't.

(Granted I don't know where flares are technically illegal and where they aren't. My experience is from Spain and Scandinavia).

They’re technically illegal or banned on grounds throughout Europe. How that’s enforced is another issue.

But he’d That’s generally my experience, Brits behave differently. See alcohol as a general example.

British and English in particular, do generally behave differently. We have a different culture. Again, general observation.

Btw not so sure that any pyro (smoke bombs) used can be completely safe

Take your pyros and just say that you are diabetic. Works in most situations as they don't usually know what that entails and won't want to risk it. Course, if the burly security guard frisking you is actually diabetic.....

 

[Dkc]

Just say you have no idea what "pyrotechnics" means. If they had just said "flares" it would be a lot clearer.

Not sure ignorance is an acceptable excuse when you’ve got Smoke bombs buried down your under crackers

I went to Sheffield Pyrotechnic.
It's called Sheffield Hallam University though now.
