Points well made.
But if
the risk of fire is so great, why haven't the stewards being instructed to (try and) relieve fans of their lighters and matches?
If the risk is from flares, smoke pellets, or fireworks specifically, could not the 'competent person' at Stanley (I know, I know) tell everyone else how many 'flare -free' games need to occur before the daft ban on flags and banners can be lifted?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire safety) Order 2005, risk assessments for footie grounds should be reviewed periodically. If the risk is no longer in evidence, is there a need to continue a ban on something unrelated to the risk?
As many people have said, flares could just as easily set clothes alight so, if the risk has not gone away, will the Clayton End become restricted to naturists?
But, if the Club do lift the ban, the fan's / Ultras' side of the deal is that they persuade anyone attempting to let off another flare / smoke pellet / firework of the error of his/her ways, before it happens.
Growing up's never easy.
