I was once advised that it is a strategy adopted to the police.
They cannot handle the numbers, so as opposed to ejecting them to the streets to cause carnage, they believe the best option is to contain them in the ground, monitor and follow up on any actual physical harm done I.e. the guys that lobbed the seat over the fence.
I’m citing a different situation, when the SevCo Hun was trialled after the event.
Looking back, it was a bottle that was lobbed

Has anyone ever been done for the flash bang lobbed into us by an Orc at Hampden?
On the night, I had heard some shouts from far behind me. Shouts directed towards Morelos during his first goal celebrations. Then at half time I noticed a not very hidden undercover bobby. Had a feeling somebody had made their own grave.
Is that what happened ?
Flare/bangthing thrown into the huns , and returned before it went off ??
It was a bout 20 yds from my seat. I`d been drinking with the boy who got his Moncler jacket burned, saw him wandering off with the Medics at the end of the game . Deef in one ear he was after that. ( But more worried about his jacket !! MNae wonder tho, price o em ?!! )
