Young football fans 'bullied into taking smoke grenades into matches'

“There is some evidence to suggest that young people are being bullied into taking smoke grenades into football games against their will."

Children are being “bullied” into taking smoke grenades to Northampton Town football matches, police have said.

Northamptonshire Police are warning fans not to carry flares, fireworks or smoke grenades after recent incidents at the Cobblers’ Sixfields stadium.
