PYROTECHNIC WARNING

Any person committing such an offence faces an FA Wales ban, probable arrest and a minimum 3-year Football Banning Order. 

Additionally, should persons be identified using pyrotechnics in places of public assembly away from and en route to the stadium, they can be issued with section 34 notices and be instructed to leave the area with details passed to the FAW, Cardiff City Stadium and the authorities.
