Not watching and Not interested
Just seen this on the SAFC website, not seen if it's been put on here anywhere.
Sunderland AFC continues to be extremely disappointed by the unacceptable conduct of a very small minority of supporters.
Multiple incidents of the use of pyrotechnic devices and fans entering the field of play without permission were reported to the EFL and FA following the Club’s fixture versus Wigan Athletic at the DW Stadium, with additional incidents taking place during Saturday's Emirates FA Cup tie at Shrewsbury Town.
Supporters are reminded that the use of pyrotechnic devices breaches ground safety regulations and poses serious risk of injury to the individual and their fellow fans.
Anyone caught possessing or using pyrotechnics, or any other illegal items, will be reported to the police and prosecution could result in a permanent criminal record, which may affect their employment and education, and could result in a prison sentence.
Those identified carrying or using pyrotechnics or entering the field of play will also receive an automatic Club ban, which could also be extended to accompanying parents or guardians of children who take part in these activities.
Further incidents could also to lead to the Club facing direct sanctions, including a drastic reduction in away fixture ticket allocation.
These acts are dangerous, illegal and have severe consequences – and they have no place in football.
SAFC would like to thank supporters who continue to show their support in a friendly, respectful and considerate manner.
Personally I hate the way smoke signals are used at games, I have a chest condition which they aggravate tremendously and I can't be the only one, they have no place at football matches.

I won't be sticking around, a forum where individual board nods can't act against people as the overall mod has control, a forum where 8 or 9 posters would prefer it how it used to be years ago with no filter, arguements isn't a good place to be.That's a shame mate, but understand where you're coming from.
You're a cracking poster on here...one of the best.
You take care, and hopefully you decide to stick around.
