Liverpool fans warned against using smoke bombs
Liverpool have warned fans they will ban anyone who lets off smoke bombs and other "pyrotechnic devices" at matches.
This season there have been frequent episodes of canisters being opened at away games, sending plumes of red smoke into the stadiums.
It is not a trend purely limited to Liverpool fans but the Merseyside club have called for their supporters to cease or risk the prospect of exclusion.
"As the Reds prepare to take on Newcastle on Saturday the club is reminding its travelling fans that smoke bombs, flares and other pyrotechnic devices are not allowed in any Premier League football grounds," said a statement on liverpoolfc.com.
"A number of incidents have been reported recently that a minority of Liverpool fans have been behaving inappropriately during our away fixtures and using these illegal devices.
"If a person is identified behaving inappropriately at away grounds then the club will have no option but to ban the individuals concerned from future matches.
"LFC encourages all away fans to respect the values of the club and stop taking these flares and fireworks to matches."
PM backs action over pitch violence
David Cameron says it was right that "tough penalties" should be handed out for violent behaviour on the football pitch
Read the full storyCameron: Suarez 'set the most appalling example'
David Cameron said his own intervention in Luis Suarez's 10 match ban for biting an opponent was merely that of a "concerned father" and added that the player's punishment was a matter for the Football Association.
The Prime Minister said earlier this week: "I think it would be very understandable if (the panel) took into account the fact that high-profile players are often role models."
The FA stated the standard three-match ban for violent conduct was "clearly insufficient" in Suarez's case when announcing he had been charged.
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers claimed that that remarks from both Cameron and the FAhad affected the impartiality of the independent panel hearing his case.
Mr Cameron told BBC Radio Five Live this morning: "I made my own views clear just as a dad watching the game. I've got a seven-year-old son who just loves watching football and when players behave like this it just sets the most appalling example to young people in our country."
Pressed on whether a 10-match ban was appropriate for the offence, he added: "That's up to the FA, it's not my decision."
