They say pyrotechnics are also a major fire hazard, and can cause damage to the grounds and surrounding areas.
The club has warned supporters that any attempt to bring pyrotechnics into stadiums will result in reporting to the police, with potential prosecution resulting in a criminal record, as well as a stadium ban, as per the club's sanction tariff.
And the club has emphasized that the safety of players, staff, and supporters is of paramount importance at all games. The club has urged supporters to respect the rules and regulations of the stadium and to enjoy the game in a safe and responsible manner.
