According to the police, the ban has been introduced due to people in the stands hiding under pieces of cloth to hide the handling of pyrotechnics.

- The message came from nowhere.

We had a meeting with the police last Friday to go through the event, and this issue was never touched, says Sirius club director Christer Abrahamsson to SVT Sport.

"Non-existent" communication

Viktor Tullgren, chairman of Västra Sidan, says that communication between supporters and the police is currently non-existent and wishes a better dialogue between them in the future.

- It is better to communicate with us that it is a problem and come up with a common solution that is good for both parties.

He also thinks that it affects the framing and mood at the match.

- We can still provide support through singing, but not the visual support and we will not be seen in the same way, says Viktor Tullgren.
