What are your thoughts?

Personally I think they're brilliant and add to atmosphere but they're illegal and not worth the risk.

They're an abomination.

Even had one of our own fans banned for trying to take one into Torquay away last year.

The more the better IMO. More colour, more atmopshere, better enjoyment.

Pyro has recently been made legal in Norway, They have an interesting system where you put in a request for a pyro display and they will either accept or deny the request.

I think the incident at Villa Park with the flare hitting a linesman has just about killed the debate in this country.

But if it was made legal then the smoke wouldn't have been thrown. People throw them in an attempt to hide the fact they did it. If it was legal they would hold them up.

Don't need flares, crap foreign concept. Only a ******** would try and enter a ground with one.

If a team needs a bunch of smoke to make an atmosphere then there's something seriously wrong.
