Not particularly risky.. pyrotechnics at games are common over Europe and very rarely leads to any incidents.
‘No pyro, no party’!

Perhaps they don't bother searching anyone who looks over 75?
Sat in the home seats but only a few seats from the away end - he must have a ST or a contact because he’s been in the same place before when we’ve played there. He LOVES the attention - saw him when he first went to his seat and he was looking across just waiting for someone to spot him (he did the same at West Ham a couple of weeks ago….made a point of ‘appearing’ near the away end). Lots of smiling and waving, and he stayed to see our boys off at the end. He was surrounded by our fans taking selfies outside the ground afterwards.
Yeah, he was there. In the stand next to the Brighton fans in the corner. He gave us a wave and I'm sure he appreciated the two (or was it more?) rousing renditions of We've got Knockaert.

Whoever does the flares has some throw always lands on the pitch, quality luzzing.
perhaps, I feel over 75 despite being in my 50s ! Still can’t work out where the WSL body friskers had disappeared to when we went though.
It's true though, they are. Albion fans away always seem to make more noise. I mean how often do you hear us sing like that at the Amex? Very rarely is the answer.
Possibly caused by the accoustics in the stadium l know, and the fact that there isn't a coordinated singing section, but even so our away support does seem so much more audible.
Plenty near me bha fans didn't know any words of any songs, or just chose not to sing
Perhaps we need a new thread - maybe even a sticky - with the lyrics and tunes to the songs.
Maybe that will also liven up the home game crowd, too?
At my age there’s nothing better than a frisky pat down. The lady stewards at the WSU refuse to do it as I glow in anticipation.
I thought it was just me!
Naturally away fans make the most noise, as they are, by definition, the most committed and they are grouped together in every stadium. Not just ours, every club’s.
Look at Selhurst, where a crowd of Tottenham fans get together behind one goal to wave flags and chant nonsense even when their own team isn’t playing.
Oh how lovely Peter! Yes please a sticky a sticky! How exciting!
Maybe you could even print out some little sheets to hand out at the game? Or maybe arrange some rehearsals with tea and biscuits. This going to be such fun!
I saw the Chelsea game on Dazn with Japanese commentary and they were really complimentary of our away support. It seemed as though they liked the smoke bomb, keep it up!
Away fans out sing the home fans. Standard
Not so. I went to Watford v Spurs at new year and the home support was fantastic. The away support sang on about 4 occasions until they scored the late winner and then they were all over it. Not as if they were tired after a long journey from North London
