Manchester United fans were warned not to use dangerous pyrotechnics before a planned protest on the weekend.

Trafford The Council issued a statement to the groups of fans following their last plan to go out to protest the club’s property before and the home team against Arsenal Sunday.

They said that the use of pyrotechnics, such as flames, could lead to stadium prohibitions and criminal cases, adding that they “support” the rights of fans to protest, but that the use of such flames could “harm the supporters or the public.”

Manchester United fans protesting before Old Trafford games have reminded them of not using dangerous pyrotechnics, which could lead to stadium prohibitions and criminal records.

The Trafford Council said that the protests in the previous seasons have observed “the significant use of pyrotechnics, such as the flames, which caused injury to public members, people working on the stadium and police.”

The protests are planned for Sunday (March 9), at 15:00, before the beginning at 4:30 pm. A spokesman for the Trafford’s advisory consultative group said: “The use of pyrotechnics in public spaces and in the stadium imprint is also a crime in violation of safety regulations, which means that those responsible can receive a punishment, including the stadium’s prohibition.

“Fans have the right to protest and support this right. However, we would ask the protesters to be careful in their behavior and do nothing illegal or could harm the colleagues of supporters or members of the public. Do not let a weak judgment moment lead to criminal prosecution or prohibition of the match. “
