not always true,
smoke bombs have been known to induce panic attacks, and in an environment like a stadium this can lead to all sorts of problems, for example heart attacks, loss of sight temporarily due to panic and or irritants, reduced visability on stairways,They are also a fire hazard
Need i go on

| Smoke bombs and flares are supposed to be banned from all stadia in England arent they?
If they are then there must be some reason for this?

| You could say that about anything within a stadium though. On Friday there were over a hundred people stood in the corner near the toilets, most of them bladdered and pratting about. I haven't got a problem with this either but if your talking about Health and Safety then there would probably have been a list of issues concerning that corner.

The point though is that it isnt illegal to drink and stand near stairs at a game your endangering your own safety there but a smoke bomb endangers other people's health. If they are seen at Wigan then I hope those using them are banned from the stadium indefinitely it is not something we need in our game. They have the problems with this in football and I dont want some Wigan fans being blamed for starting it in RL.

| Take from the Public Order Act 1986
2A. — (1) A person is guilty of an offence if he has an article or substance to which this section applies in his possession—
(a)at any time during the period of a designated sporting event when he is in any area of a designated sports ground from which the event may be directly viewed, or
(b)while entering or trying to enter a designated sports ground at any time during the period of a designated sporting event at the ground.
(2) It is a defence for the accused to prove that he had possession with lawful authority.
(3) This section applies to any article or substance whose main purpose is the emission of a flare for purposes of illuminating or signalling (as opposed to igniting or heating) or the emission of smoke or a visible gas; and in particular it applies to distress flares, fog signals, and pellets and capsules intended to be used as fumigators or for testing pipes, but not to matches, cigarette lighters or heaters.
(4) This section also applies to any article which is a firework.".
so flares defiantly are not legal at any sporting ground in the uk,
as for the smoke bombs i guess this comes under the above points, but if not then it is up to the local law enforcement, some clubs may allow it.

Based on your poor grammar and text-speak style of writing I'm guessing your off school for Easter.
And as for the Saints comment, you need to double your efforts in GCSE Geography young man/lady.

| The club have asked people not to use any form of smoke bomb or flare within any ground unless already authorised. If anything similar happens at an home game then you can pretty much wave bye bye to the whole thing.

Woah don't get the health and safety nazis onto p**shead corner . That's our haven to escape reserved seating.
FWIW I don't remember the smoke bomb incident or whatever it was but as far as I'm aware no one was hurt by it. It's an open roof at KR so can't see how it could have done much damage as long as whoever was holding it knew what they were doing with it but then again that could be showing off my complete lack of knowledge of smoke bombs .

| the smoke bomb was in the corner, and from where I was, the smoke was actually bowing over the side of the stand. So i don't see any problem with it.

| People need to get from up there own bottom on here. Nothing up with adding a bit of atmosphere, rather than the graveyard atmosphere we have most weeks at the DW.
