Well B4 reading that I would never of had a clue where to start looking to purchase a smoke bomb, but IF I was the type of idiot that would want to you have just pointed them in the right direction. But whilst your post was admittedly a question I am sure some of the younger idiots might take advantage of it if that makes any sense?

Top result on Google, Nik, if you type in 'Smoke Bomb' is 'Shop for Smoke Bomb' with a handy picture - so Hants hasn't really given the game away.

Indeed. Anyone interested in using pyro will know how to use Google and ebay to find what they want.

I'm hoping that 'appropriate action' in the clubs statement means a hefty ban from Exeter games for a while and not believing the tall tales of some yoof putting it down to a bit too much booze, bravado and brainlessness. The first two will come and go but they'll always have the third and thus are likely to do it again.
Personally if the fans that want to let off smoke bombs and be a bit more 'energetic' in their support for the team would do so in a corner of the stand away from young kids and other supporters that might find these things troublesome then i haven't a problem with that although it's against groudn regulations. My issue is that when these things are set off then lots of people are exposed to them. I took my 8 year old to a few Derby County matches last season and against Forest there was plumes of red smoke billowing everywhere coming from the away end at the other end of the North Stand. My kid was genuinely terrified that there was a fire in the ground and we should get out and although she wasn't near it, it did have a negative effect.
I have ASD and attending football matches for me is difficult enough with the crowds, noise and pretty bad anxiety so when the smoke bombs were let off at Donny at the back end of last season not far from me it made my afternoon just that little bit more difficult to deal with. I did have to move briefly whilst the smoke passed to be able to breathe a but more easier.
In reality i'm expecting other human beings to be considerate to other human beings and asking Exeter fans to be considrate to other Exeter fans so i'm flogging a dead horse which is sad.

Personally I couldnt care less about these things, my only thought is why the hell would you do it at a psf against Taunton? Odd.
I'm afraid, NN, you may be waiting some time. You made a valid point and asked a relevant question.
With regard to the use of smoke, I too hope the pillocks involved get a lengthy ban. Whilst it's almost unheard of me attending matches these days due to health, I'm always tempted by nearby friendlies. Had I attended, and been near the smoke, then I would've been carted off in an ambulance. Assuming it would get there in time. My lungs simply would not have been able to cope.
To me, people who let off these things are ignorant, selfish, arseholes.

But Rae, it's all about creating scenes*, yes, scenes* and who cares about anyone else?
