Flares and pyrotechnics are illegal
Liverpool Football Club would like to remind fans that flares and pyrotechnics are illegal and should not be used in or around Anfield stadium.
Merseyside Police has received complaints from fans who attended the Sunderland game on Wednesday night becoming distressed, suffering from respiratory problems and red dye staining their clothing when approaching the ground on Anfield Road.
A small child also required first aid treatment, suffering from a scorch mark on their skin where a flare had been thrown.
The use of flares and smoke bombs at any football stadium is a breach of regulations and anyone in possession of these could be subject to a banning order and police action.
