I thought they were, they fanned the flames before the match and encouraged fans to disrupt the match, then distances themselves from any of it after the match and said well we never said to set flares off. At the time I worked in Northampton and it was embarrassing going into work on the Monday.
That has to of been the 4th or 5th flare incident I’ve witnessed these season, now it’s becoming the normal to chuck flares, pints and lighters onto the pitch. I don’t have any problem with it, it’s to be expected when the fans are at breaking point - we’re in league 2 and homeless, again, in 10 home games.
