A FOOTBALL fan who set off a smoke bomb at the Hawthorns during Sir Alex Ferguson’s final match in charge of Manchester United has been handed a three year banning order.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Matthew Barton set off the device in the away end of the stadium during the 5-5 game against West Bromwich Albion on 19 May – the last match of the season.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0The 20-year-old, from Monton in Greater Manchester, was given the order yesterday (31 October) at Sandwell Magistrates Court after admitting possessing a smoke bomb in a designated sporting event.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0PC Martin Portman, from the Force Football Unit, said: “Flares and fireworks at games are banned in the UK for a reason – they have the potential to cause harm and distress, and are a serious fire risk.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0“Anyone found trying to smuggle in any pyrotechnic devices can expect lengthy football banning orders keeping them out of all British grounds and from travelling to matches abroad.”<\/div>\n
