Clearly they've been covering Wolves too much. We don't wear them in Brum

I think they add a bit of atmosphere and do look good when crowd is in full song but obviously they can be dangerous and having them thrown at us at Blues away wasn't great (I know Villa threw first).

I think they should talk about it if they want to.

A novelty when they were rare, when we beat Small Heath with that last minute Milner pen I was in the North Stand and it was rocking, the flare added to the atmosphere. You see them everywhere now.

They're like, groovy man. I dig them.
People letting flares off at a match should have the flares set off in their battycrease.

It's more of a continent thing really. I don't really see the point in them myself and taking one to pre-season friendly at Walsall was a bit silly.

i don't think its something people really care about unless they see them. Not really part of English football culture. be like asking an Italian fan about a half-time pie and a bovril.

I like them, but I think that is the aftersmell which reminds me of cap guns.

A well thought out flare at a night game in European competition when we are trying to stoke up the atmosphere is good.
Struggling with the point of them outside it mind. They stink and you can't see shit for five minutes if you are close to them.

It was on Broad St, as for the fiery ones I think they should only be used a European night games, just to add to the atmos!

I like them. My main memory from seeing AC Milan when I was 10 at the San Siro was the atmosphere and all the flares and huge flags. But that's their culture, I remember they had water filled bins close by for the flares to be thrown into after.

I like them but flares are dangerous and will just end up being used as weapons.
Pyro (Smoke Grenades) on the other hand are a lot more useful, the look nice and they seem to stoke up the atmosphere. And crazily, I actually like the smell.
