The fact it’s in a colour called Pyro Fade is pretty apt. When will they accept pyro isn’t that bad btw? Ok, so being stuck in a low-roofed Non-League ground with the acrid aroma of celebration stopping you from breathing isn’t that pleasant but how do they manage in Turkey and that? Why can’t they just let us have nice things? In the absence of your smoke bombs this might be a nice alternative.
