From Saturday, supporters of the German Hamburg club will be able to light smoke smoke legally. The Bundesliga authorized this “cracking” of pyrotechnic devices “in a controlled manner”, relates The team.
A dozen smoke bombs may be lit before the meeting, Saturday at 1 p.m., under the eye of a specialist and with, nearby, buckets of sand and fire extinguishers. Always according to The team, last season, Hamburg is the German club which was the most penalized with 294,000 euros in fines for the use of smoke bombs and … fireworks (hold, hold!).
206,000 euros in fines for ASSE last season
This is a first for our German neighbors since, as in France, the use of smoke smoke is prohibited in stadiums. An initiative which, if it arrives in France, could appeal to Ultras Stéphanois.
As a reminder, in Ligue 1, ASSE was the most heavily sanctioned by the Professional Football League, with 206,000 euros in fines paid for the 2018/2019 season. In 2020, the club from Stéphane already received a closed game and one suspended, for the more than 200 smoke bombs cracked during the meeting against PSG in December.
