Rejected petition Legalise pyrotechnics at all football grounds across the UK

Legalising pyrotechnics would create jobs, increase attendances and lower the crime rate in football.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We're not sure exactly what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take. We think that you would like pyrotechnics to be legal at football matches, but this is not completely clear from your petition.

As you will probably know, fireworks displays do sometimes take place at football grounds - it is the use of pyrotechnics during matches that is against the law.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
