“Getting fire arrows into a football stadium? A breeze. They are no bigger than a Labello stick, while a flight attendant is not allowed to feel anything”

“It has never been easier to smuggle flares into a football stadium. They are getting smaller and smaller.” So says an Anderlecht supporter who was present at Standard-Anderlecht last night. While, conversely, the power of the football stewards does not increase: “Except for some superficial checking, stewards are allowed very little themselves”, it is heard by various football voices. “Only if a new Heysel drama happens tomorrow, will politics intervene,” sighs a safety officer of a Belgian top club.
