Sheffield United Football Club has been made aware of individuals attempting to sell pyrotechnics on social media ahead of Saturday's play-off final at Wembley Stadium. These reports have been passed onto the Police.
We would like to take this opportunity to remind all supporters that it is a criminal offence to be in possession of a pyrotechnic device - whether ignited or not - when entering or inside a football stadium.
At Bramall Lane this season, we have experienced multiple incidents where pyrotechnics have caused serious harm, including burn injuries and damage to clothing. These dangerous items have no place in our game and jeopardise the safety of fellow fans.
Wembley Stadium operates with strict security procedures and robust screening methods. Anyone found attempting to bring prohibited items into the stadium will be refused entry. Additionally, those caught may face arrest, prosecution, and long-term consequences such as court-imposed or club-issued bans from future matches.
We urge all supporters to play their part in making Saturday's game a safe and enjoyable occasion for everyone.
Support the Blades the right way - together, responsibly, and safely.
