The wanker stewards managed to kick someone out with a quarter of a loaf of bread but couldn't find anyone responsible for the smoke bombs.

Foam fingers the way forward. Nice and safe and look awesome.
Celtic' s smoke bomb flag around the pitch at Hampden was seriously impressive at the weekend but chucking them into the crowd takes someone of a special intellect

One day that will be you and maybe, just maybe you will remember you disregard for other, fellow Stoke supporters

They shouldn't have them, it's illegal. They should fuck off. They also look rubbish. Not when done properly

Its selfish. gets people involved, unlike the useless fans sat down at the front.. stand up and make some noise Leaving aside your meaningless insult that stokies sitting towards the front are "useless", pyros do not "get people involved", unless throwing a hot, illegal missile at other stokies is your definition of "being involved". The logic of your post is that stokies who can't or don't want to stand up, children and those with breathing and asthmatic problems shouldn't support the team away from home. I strongly disagree with that.

I have been following Stoke home and away for 50 years. Away matches have always carried a bit of jeopardy (...if you were there, who can forget the battle of Burnden Park in 1977 when at the final whistle enough house bricks came into the away end to build a small bungalow?) but the biggest threat to life and limb now comes from our own fans. Yesterday I was sat in row 5 and got hit by a smoke bomb after we scored; large bump on my head, jacket ruined, and lungs full of thick red smoke for the many seconds it took me and those next to me to vacate our seats. We all know that some of our young lower-IQ knob-head fans make pond life look like University Challenge material, but how the hell did they smuggle those smoke bombs past the security searches? Just goes to show that the searches are a waste of time. I have C.O.P.D. and having been caught up in a smoke bomb incident in the past i am now a non attending Stokie as i it is simply not worth the risk.

That's a real shame, skem, and a consequence of irresponsible behaviour by a small minority of fellow stokies.

Thank Christ somebody launched that smoke bomb at me, otherwise I’d have felt left out.

Someone setting one off in the concourse BEFORE the game, managed to close down all of the kiosks as the smoke triggered the sensors which automatically brought down the shutters so no one could get anything at all, warm day could have been dangerous with all the alcohol consumed and no way of getting liquid down you.
I don't get them at all, but it's a special kind of twat that sets them off in enclosed spaces or throws them into a crowd of people.
Fucking idiots

All for having a laugh, and it’s easy enough to avoid the beer chuckers in the concourse, but a bit shitty throwing smoke bombs in the crowd, pot luck where it lands and no way of getting out the way. Must admit though they did look good🤷🏼♂️🤦🏻♂️

I've no problem with them. But chucking them around is moronic.
Whatever clown decides to do that deserves a ban.

Have certain sections of the grounds designated for the use of pyro.

That one in the concourse was thick and certainly wouldn’t be good for your insides, my 14 year old lad thinks it’s super cool though and I probably would have done when I was his age too
Personally though and tin hat on here, I don’t mind them, I do think they look impressive but no way should they be thrown and only used in outside places. How you police that however I do not know

One day that will be you and maybe, just maybe you will remember you disregard for other, fellow Stoke supporters I’m not old but have issues with arthritis in my knees which makes standing for any given length of time quite arduous. To be described as a useless fan is an affront. We may be sat down at the front but we certainly made some noise yesterday. 🙄

Not when done properly Of course, there's a world of difference between that and a crappy smoke bomb chucked towards the pitch that puffs away before a steward with a bucket puts it out of its misery. It looks hilariously small time when teams do it at our ground, like the Crystal Palace Ultras compared to actual ultras.

Fun? How the hell is it fun? Its selfish. gets people involved, unlike the useless fans sat down at the front.. stand up and make some noise Trying to figure out how best to respond to your absolutely derogatory, insulting & just idiotic well off the mark claims! Don't quite think you'd understand a sarcastic reproach, nor a serious adult conversation about it but here goes with the latter! I'm presuming by fact your fresh out the box on here you are young & possibly either one of the cowardly pyro throwers yourself or know lads who do it & laugh along with them thinking you're all ace & great atmosphere creators! Take it from me, who could be classed as a veteran Stoke fan since the early 80's, they are as annoying as f**k & as for getting people Involved, behave and grow up as your comment just doesnt make any sense whatsoever! Throwing them into crowds of people not knowing what effects it could have on them isn't getting people involved other than pissing them off & potentially injuring, or making someone very poorly if suffering from breathing type issues or conditions. If Pyros are so good at atmosphere creating then the initial holder should keep hold and proudly wave them around and create a smoke/light show for the crowds who think they're a great idea to take to the game with them! But no they would never do that as they know they'd got collared, dragged out by the stewards & face either arrest or subsequent match bans! Awesome consequence for having fun and creating an atmosphere hey?! & just for the record I'm one of the 'useless' ones you refer to who unfortunately due to circumstances beyond my control a few years ago have to sit at the front for away matches now due to a disability that prevents me standing for long periods, & unable to create an atmosphere like the 'True Supporter' type you bizarrely refer to in your post! Believe me there is some folk who sit down the front who are far more inspirational supporters than any of those who throw pyros and those standing watching who think it's cool to throw them! I've met a few fans these last few years who are quite literally awe inspiring and the fact they follow Stoke all around the country despite some debilitating conditions, well its just shameful you refer to them as 'useless'! Feel free to PM me and I'm more than happy to discuss this matter with you further. Could either meet on a match day & have a proper adult chat about it if you'd prefer.

If a smoke bomb hit either of my kids in an enclosed away end, to say I might be tempted to get a little primitive is an understatement.
